I had over 200 of those, both Kawasaki and ABB under my control at Halewood.
Simple programming job, bit disappointed to note no bottle cap sensor device so it would only pick from a pre specified part of the crate rather than intelligent picking.
Also noted a judder on the way from crate to first rest and relocate grab station.
Then the cap removal was a bit unsensational, that could have been part of the relocate grab station.
Didn't notice a temperature sensor to reject the open and pour if not within specified range of temperature - poor form.
Also no check done on bar code to see if the beer is in date after pick and before relocate grab. Reject beer for either temp or in date could have been rejected to a waiting reject crate. Not to mention a weight sensor to ensure contents quantity.
Pour was also allowing 3 or 4 neck glugs, rather a smooth pouring transition to tilt.
Liked the swill mech, that was nice, but noted that final optical head height and density was not measured in the glass.
Now, if only they had a infra red spectrographic analysis to sample the content for correct composition.

But very nice. :D

Brilliant!!!

I have an autopilot so that I don't need steer the boat, a GPS so that I don't have to navigate, lazy jack so that I don't have to fold the sails and a furling gear so that I don't need to leave my seat to setup the headsail, now there is a machine so I don't have to pour the beer!!!

Need to get one for the boat straight away!!

Probably not an East Coast drink [but it is on the East Coast of Ireland], but I would like to see it do a pint of Guiness with a Harp in the foam.

More importantly how would it go in a 2 metre swell/chop.

Ah,good point. I will need to mount the robot on a gyroscopic stability platform.

The robot, the platform and a couple of crates of beer. Should fit nicely in the cabin!!
