Asahi is a Japanese beer brand that means that this brand pays a lot of attention to new technologies and technological ways to communicate with its consumers.
One of them is a number of “Misters Asahi”, beer robots on which the brand has been working during several years. Such Asahi robot was presented in some English pubs in July, 2008.
It is known that to construct this Mr. Asahi (to the right), engineers need about 200 hours and 6 months more to teach him to serve a pint of beer in less than two minutes.
The brand presented Mr. Asahi as the very first robotic barman in the world and informed that in future such robots could make cocktails.
It should be added that Mr. Asahi could serve only Asahi beer and would not hear any other requests. Also, Mr. Asahi could listen you, but couldn’t speak with you like some barmen can.
