Bartendro, the Cocktail Dispensing Robot

More news from the robots-taking-over-the-service-industry front:  Bartendro, an automated cocktail mixing device, has a Kickstarter campaign. It’s an ultra-precise liquid dispenser running via Raspberry PI that’s accessible wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet.  Attach a breathalyzer, ID scan, and credit card swipe and you’ve got yourself a complete robo-bartender. But can he listen to your troubles, too?

The Bartendro team breaks it down:

Bartendro is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from $299 to $5,000 Kickstarter rewards:  the ShotBot, which dispenses one liquid shot, and the more impressive Bartendro 3 (three different liquids), 7 (seven), and 15 (I’ll let you guess).

You can also theoretically use Bartendro for:

• pancake/crepe bot
• coffee bot
• juice bot
• garden watering bot
• aquarium nutrient dosing
• automated chemistry/biology experiments
• recirculating pump for fast infusions
• new foodie creations
• beer brewing / wine making
