Bottoms up! Robots pour beer at Artificial Intelligence trade show

Robot X Manufacturing Expo 2019 attendees in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday, were wowed by a number of two-armed robots. Swiss firm ABB's SCARA robot can hold a cup in one hand - at a 90 degree angle for the perfect pour - while tipping beer into it from the other. After successfully serving the beverage, with just the right amount of head, the machine even shakes the bottle to make sure there's no liquid left inside. Other cutting-edge robots include Japanese firm Kawasaki's SCARA, that can prepare the country's national dish of sushi. It uses the two arms to compile pre-made rice with toppings of fish, before transferring them to a dish for serving.
