A U.S company has created
a personal robotic bartender that it claims 'serves the perfect drink' to suit
an individual's tastes.
Monsieur is an
artificially intelligent robotic that can learn its user's favourite cocktails
as well as how strong they like them - and even anticipate when to include a
double shot of alcohol if they have had an especially trying day at work.
The robot is the
brainchild of a company, also called Monsieur, in Atlanta, Georgia, which is
trying to raise $100,000 on crowd-funding website Kickstarter to put the
product, which is designed for the home, into production.
The artificially
intelligent robot called Monsieur, can create thousands of drinks at the touch
of a button and learns how a user likes them - even anticipating when to make a
drink with a double shot of alcohol in it after a long day at work.
To use the machine, which
the company envisions being installed in a house, an individual must use the
touch screen on the robot to browse the 300-strong cocktail list and choose how
strong they could like their drink, from 'lightweight' to 'boss'.
Over time, the company
says its intelligent machine will learn an individual's taste to automatically
per-adjust their drinks, as well as making them to order.
The firm also says that
just like a skilled human bartender, its robot can make recommendations based
on their preferences and homeowners can pick a theme for their machine from
Irish pub to Hawaiian tiki bar.
