There are robots that walk, play soccer, dance and do various other things, including serving drinks. However, now there is robot that not only serves your drinks but prepares them too. The ll new Barbot or bartending robot, is designed and built for the sole purpose of creating concoctions, cocktails and other drinks and then serve them to the customers as well.
For the construction of the Barbot, its creators, the NYC resistors, used recycled Barbot parts that had been salvaged from another prototype. Among other parts, the Barbot is made up of Arduino controllers and blood pumps, that it users to pour drinks, quite like an IV line at a hospital.
As of now, the Barbot is programmed to make and serve only one drink, but more drinks and other beverages, might be added over time.
Here is a video of Barbot in action:
