Meet the Beer Outdoor Transporter, or B.O.T., from Heineken. It can hold up to 12 cans of beer and follow you almost anywhere and has a “charming” AI personality that can actually speak. Think Wall-E but with garish corporate branding, and you’re most of the way. The B.O.T. looks like a small agricultural appliance and operates like your own R2-D2 droid. The robot features four small wheels, two big wheels, motion sensors, an AI running everything and the capacity to hold a dozen cans in addition to ice. The company is short on other details about the bot, though its design indicates that it can probably handle rolling on the grass at a park, but perhaps not anything more rugged. B.O.T. isn’t a mass-produced product. Heineken will take submissions from people who want a chance to win B.O.T. tomorrow. Customers need to sign up on the dedicated Heineken B.O.T. website to enter for the chance to win the robot. Until then, the website is accepting interested individuals’ names, emails and birth dates to sign them up for a reminder email tomorrow.(SD-Agencies) |
