Robots Bar & Lounge in Ilmenau, Germany has a technology-inspired decor, and a humanoid robot bartender that mixes drinks and makes small talk with patrons.
The bar which opened about a month ago attracts huge patronage from curious clients.
The robot named Carl is a humanoid robot built by mechatronics engineer Ben Schaefer out of parts from disused industrial robots.
Schaefer says that although progress has been made in the field of robotics artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, but by placing a robot in an environment where it can observe and interact with real humans it’s much easier to test the programming and make necessary improvements than it would be in a closed laboratory.
