Italian Robot Makes A Terrible Cup Of Coffee
Writing by Conner Flynn on Tuesday, 26 of February , 2008 at 8:31 pm
When you hear about a robot that makes food or drink of any kind, your first thought is that the end result must be good, right? Otherwise, why bother using a robot at all? Surely a robot must be capable of making a great cup of joe. I’m sure that’s the case. However, this robot from the DEXMART project, known as Justine, while being agile enough and precise enough to make coffee, only makes the instant variety. I guess they figure it’s a start, and maybe the bot will go on to better things one day, but I think I’ll pass.
Naples University Professor Bruno Siciliano heads the project. He believes that useful, two-armed robots are only now being realized. After all, one-armed robots work a variety of jobs, like assembling cars. He thinks that the era of the two-armed robot is at hand and that they will revolutionize our lives in less that 15 years.
