We’ve covered some cool robots before, from robot lawn mowers to your very own walking robot. Today we’ve discovered our coolest robot find yet, two beer robots . First comes news that HRP-2 Promet robot has received an upgrade of four “high precision” cameras from The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. Which loosely translates into, you now have a new best friend to fetch your favorite beverages. [via Digital World Tokyo]
Second, Asahi Breweries has designed a robot beer refrigerator that they will be giving away as a special promotion for their low-malt beer ( and you thought a baseball cap was a good prize). 5000 lucky lottery winners will win a fully stocked( holds a six pack and 2 beer mugs) beer robot. When you push the start button the robot opens a can and pours the perfect beer. What else could you ask for? Since I know I will never win one of these great beer robots, I will just stick to the Cooper Cooler to take care of my beverages. [Robot Gossip via Engadget]
