Robot can be best bar none
A ROBOT which one day may cut waiting times at the bar has been on show in Edinburgh.
In his first Scottish appearance, Mr Asahi – the world's first robotic barman – was demonstrating his skills at the Asda store at the Jewel.
Not only is the bespoke robot able to pull pints and take the top off beer bottles, but he can even engage a customer in conversation.
Promoters said, if introduced, he could cut waiting times at bars significantly.
Christian Hamilton, Asahi UK Brand Manager, said: "We were looking for a unique way to sample our beer as we go on our first national tour and we think that Mr Asahi will certainly attract a great deal of attention in bars and clubs."
