Being Lazy, One Robot at a Time

The time it takes to get up and walk to the refrigerator to get a drink is enough to miss key parts of a commercial leaving you with a void that cannot be filled until the next commercial break...maybe. To combat the root cause of this void, the act of getting up and walking to the refrigerator needs to be changed. We need to find a new way to cut down on that time; maybe run to the refrigerator? That might work if you really gunned it, but you could come back to your seat short of breath and still miss something important.

What can we do about this dilemma? Go to the refrigerator and risk missing the commercial or sit there catching every second while your throat gets hopelessly thirsty and dry with a yearning for that one special drink...so close, yet so far. Enough of this philosophical stuff, here is something that will help alleviate the worries of almost every guy out there.

Introducing the Remote Control Bar-Bot, a one of a kind vehicle of laziness packed into a barrel of cold beverages. Created by InterActive Toy Concepts, this collapsible barrel of joy is maneuverable with a remote control and even though 0-60 timings have not been recorded, I feel confident that it will deliver thirst quenching refreshment with ease and reliability. This is of course only until the batteries last at which point you will have to get up. Hey, it had to happen sometime.

Want something better, do you want your drink to be poured into a glass and handed to you, ice cold? Well, there is something better, albeit it cannot be bought, but still, easily worth dreaming about owning.

What you're looking at is a robot that will not only come to you with an ice cold beverage, it will also take it out of its built in refrigerator and pour it into a glass and then hand it to you. Created as a marketing stunt for a Japanese brewery named Asahi. Sadly, it was not for sale but rather for some 5000 lucky Japanese. I'm about to pack my bags and move.

Hundreds and thousands of dollars have been poured into the develoment of robotics and the associated technology and this is what we end up using it for? To further our own laziness? Eh, sounds good to me.
