Robotic Barman on World Tour

At last! A really useful robot!
A new robotic barman called Mr. Asahi is touring the world showing off his skills. He began this week in Selfridges of London. Mr Asahi. The life-size robot is controlled by PC software which directs compressed air through assorted valves. Sounds wonderfully steampunk to me.
The result is a robot that serves beer quicker than the average human barperson. There’s only one slight drawback (apart from the quarter ton weight and the £100,000 price tag): Mister Asahi currently only serves Asahi beer.
