Yesterday afternoon I popped down to the Case à Chocs in Neuchâtel to see the first of the robots being set up for tomorrow’s big event – Design Night Switzerland, celebrating 25 years of Autodesk’s presence here. (At the time of writing, there are still tickets left: get yours from here.)
The first arrival was courtesy of Rollomatic’s Humanoid Power division: they’ve configured one of their robots to perform that most important of tasks, serving beer.
Prospective drinkers get to choose between a “Blonde” and an “Eve”, two products from the Cardinal brewery in Fribourg.
I’m already know which of these buttons I’ll be pressing, tomorrow. Here’s the robot in action… it still needed a bit of tweaking when I took the video, but you get the idea.
I'll be sure to post more pictures from tomorrow's event. It should be a blast!
