Remember when you used to be able to go down to your local bar, order yourself a pint of pilsner, and unload your problems to the wise old bartender? He'd sit patiently, drying off a glass or wiping the bar while you lamented about your mortgage payments, trouble with the old lady, and the state of the world while he periodically interjected a few words of advice, or simply nodded in that "I've been there before, brother," way?
No, neither do I.
The old friendly barkeep may have gone the way of the Dodo, but BoozBot resurrects the stereotype, mixing in generous portions of the equally mythical and curiously endearing "broken down robot" that we all know from just about every sci-fi movie ever made to create a hybrid that is everything you could ever want in a robot bartender.
We recently finished a prototype of BoozBot that we have installed at 3 parties. We've gotten some great feedback and are currently working on the blueprints for a better, more robust model which should be done by the end of 2008.
We apologize for the audio of this video - to hear it you'll probably have to turn your sound way up. But stay tuned - we're working on a better one.
