Tamanoi Vinegar Robot
Today Buildup Co. unveiled their Tamanoi Vinegar Robot which is, not surprisingly, the world’s first robot designed to make presentations about vinegar.

The robot features a system of pneumatic servos that control 24 points of articulation in the upper half of its body. The 180 cm (nearly 6 ft), 100 kg (220 lb) machine has a mouth that moves in sync with its voice, as well as a fiber-reinforced plastic outer shell that is colored black — like Tamanoi”s black vinegar — with an iridescent coating that changes hue according to the viewing angle.

All of that cool technology stuffed into an awesome looking robot and all it does is talk about vinegar? How tragic.

The Tamanoi Robot will begin entertaining visitors at the Tamanoi Vinegar Corporation (Japanese) headquarters starting in July.
