We Approach the Robotic Holy Grail: Autonomous Beer Fetching

For ages, humans have wanted robots to do one simple task: to go to the refrigerator and bring refreshments such as Beer, and food to the lazy human watching TV. We have shown lately a beer-fetching robot. Now, the people at the Denver based Gamma Two Robotics have created a voice controlled beer fetching robot. The video below illustrates the functionality; this is really one step forward in human laziness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXXllDYatxQ This second video by Heineken illustrates well the beer-fetching robot dream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjAZ5esOBZw
