Humanoid Robot Serves Beer

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."

Why did this make the frontpage of slashdot?

It's just a programmable korean robot that some guy programmed the motions to pour beer, he put a bottle in between the hands of the robot, it spilled quite a bit of beer, and he didn't even take a video of it. I could've staged that in like two seconds with a lego mindstorm kit during the 11th grade in my AP C++ class.
