Makr Shakr - Robot Bartender

I remember after the dot com bust, many went to bar-tending to earn few quick bucks but that seems to be out in the technological unemployment era...

Called the MakrShakr, the project is a collaboration between MIT Senseable City Lab and Carlo Ratti Associati, an Italian architecture firm. Mustachioed mixologists have been replaced by a team of theree robots, capable of making millions and millions--or, to get mathematical, a googol (that’s 1 followed by 100 zeroes)--of drink recipes, created on the spot by the bar’s patrons. "Makr Shakr aims to show the 'Third Industrial Revolution’ paradigm through the simple process design-make-enjoy, and in just the time needed to prepare a new cocktail," explains the project website.
