Makr Shakr Robotic Bartender Offers Stirring Glimpse of the Future of Automation
A robotic bar installed overlooking the Duomo in Milan, capable of making 80 drinks per hour using 150 bottles at its disposal.
The media’s attention has primarily veered toward the imminent arrival of autonomous vehicles to drive us here and there, with nary a driver needed. But look around and you might already have noticed robots are already here and near, flipping burgers, greeting travelers and carrying luggage, and now, even serving your favorite cocktails. The Makr Shakr Robotic Bartender is the first robotic bartending system you can buy or rent for your next festive event.
Founded by MIT professor, Carlo Ratti, the Makr Shakr robotic system comes outfitted with an expansive white Corian counter for guests to saddle up onto, presenting a large data-viz screen wall for orders. In its retail version, the Makr Shakr Toni purports to reveal a future where traditional human bartenders are replaced by a 2-armed robot capable of mixing 80 drinks per hour using a catalog of 158 bottles, complemented by two sugar dispensers, an ice machine, and even a mint dispenser at its disposal. Beer, wine, or mojitos are all within the robot mixologist machine’s cocktail tableau.
