Robot bartender bar opening in Kyoto
Original: Robot bartender bar opening in Kyoto, and no, they’re not controlled by AI
A bar staffed by robot bartenders is set to open in Kyoto, Japan. The venue is drawing attention partly because the machines are not driven by artificial intelligence, despite assumptions to the contrary. Coverage so far is limited to the announcement itself, with few details available about the operators, opening date, or how the robots actually serve drinks.
Why now: The novelty of a robot-staffed bar, and the surprising clarification that the robots are not AI-controlled, is generating buzz.
