Ah, I am so drooling about going to Europe and totally ditching this diet I’ve been on for the last 6 months as we come to the wedding. And what am I going to do besides stuff my face with bread and cheese? Drink lots of beer. Oh yes.
Well, some are more obsessed than I. A group of Dutch students have created a robot that – they say – can pull the perfect pint:
It takes one minute and 11 seconds for Hermann, one of five prototypes, to pour a beer.
Students at the Technical University of Darmstadt say he is designed to pour the frothy German wheat beer at exactly the right angle.
Professor Thomas Weber set 23 science students the task of designing the robot and insisted they pay attention to "aesthetics" – meaning the beer had to have a head on it.
