Humanoid Robot Serves Beer 130

ls129 writes "Humanoid robots are known for their rope-swinging ability and their martial-arts fighting capabilities. However, one humanoid robotics fan trained his robot to do something really useful. His Robotis based humanoid robot can actually pour a bottle of beer into a pint glass."

    I've always enjoyed getting a little head while drinking beer. Domo arigato, Miss Roboto.

    This reminds me of a great joke..


    A guy walks into a bar, and sees that there is a robotic bartender behind the bar. He shrugs and sits down. The robot comes over and says, "Hey, I'm the Autobot, what can I get you to drink, and what's your IQ?"
    The guy says, "I'll have a Jack and coke, and my IQ is 140."
    Well, the autobot makes him a perfect drink, and starts talking to him about theology, nano-technology, and even some philosophy.
    The guy is impressed. He finishes his drink, pays his tab, leaves, and comes right back in.
    He sits down at the bar, and the robot comes over and says, "Hey, I'm the Autobot, what can I get you to drink, and what's your IQ?"
    The guys says, "I'll have a screwdriver, and my IQ is 110."
    Well, the autobot makes him a perfect drink, and starts talking to him about movies, literature, women, and even some sports.
    The guy is still impressed. He finishes his drink, pays his tab, leaves, and comes right back in.
    He sits down at the bar, and the robot comes over and says, "Hey, I'm the Autobot, what can I get you to drink, and what's your IQ?"
    The guys says, "I'll have a Miller Lite, and my IQ is 70."
    The robot poors him a perfect beer, and then comes over to the guy and says REAL SLOW... "So you gonna vote for Bush again?"

    Seems the crowd here would rather have a Bush-bashing robot than a beer-pouring one.

    In a word, yes. I can pour and drink my own beer quite happily, but Bush-bashing is a much-needed and highly valuable service which I don't have the tools to do myself.

Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
