Beer-Fetching Robot

Beer Robot Assume the time-honoured beer-taking stance to make sure you get your beer at all costs.

Asahi Shimbun reports that developpers have enabled their robot to not only fetch the beer, but to move things out of the way that may interfere with the goal, such as say a small barking shiba or wife who thinks you’ve had enough already.
When I read about these things I can only wonder what the future will hold. Maybe robots that will safely fetch me some crack? Will they move cops out of the way in order to get access to said crack? Also: does this guy really need them cool antennas on his head or are we going for style here? I’m sure someone will outfit one with buttless chaps someday. Further, I’m sure the developpers dont really care, but this robot’s “legs” are WAY too skinny. I’m thinking: “hey don’t trip and waste my beer!” This week there has been much fanfare about nanotubes again, and it seems to be getting worse. I think we should sit down and find good use for our old tech before we start moving on to new stuff. They can keep developping all they want, but that doesn’t mean there’s a need.
