Sooner or later, the cute bartender that was the only reason you ever went out to the bar in the first place, will be replaced. Robot bartenders are the future. No more half-filled plastic cups of Red Bull and vodka that only lead you to getting thrown out after an argument with the bartender regarding a drink that wasn’t made properly. These bots know how to serve and never have a grim attitude.

The Beer Robot from Asahi has many talents such as moving around and serving beer. That’s a lot of talent for a robot. Here’s the best part: robot bartenders don’t get paid on tips. Tipping bartenders was always a bullshit concept anyways. After all, they already overcharge you on all the drinks and don’t give you BJs. It’s a rough world out there.

The big buzz this week at the Roboexotica event in San Francisco are robots that mix drinks. Specifically, a robot dubbed “Chapek” is capable of making a small variety of mixed drinks: gin and orange juice (laid back), a gin martini, a vodka martini and a screwdriver. Hilarity ensued during a press run when Chapek spills a screwdriver all over himself and his circuitry.

Other robots that can be seen at Roboexotica include: a mind reading martini maker, which measures the alpha waves in ones brain to determine how dry the martini should be, as well as a robot that has the ability to flip cigarettes into peoples mouths. Awesome. Robotic cancer rules!

Peggy is a concept which allows for easier nights of alcoholic drink mixing. Equally equipped to both open up liquor bottles and measure out the amount of a certain liquor you put in your drink, Peggy is sort of an all-in-one bartender gadget.

With New Years Eve coming up and Christmas Day just hours away, we see some serious drinking in your near future. Yes, our crystal ball sees that you might be in assistance of something like Peggy, especially if you’re a fan of mixed drinks. — Andrew Dobrow
