 Robotic Wine Tasters And Bartenders Technology  Detecting subtle nuances from one wine to another takes time to master. Honing ones sense of smell and taste takes a lot of practice and a lot of wine. But what if you could determine what kind of wine you are sampling by analyzing it chemically?
Japanese scientists are trying just that with a robot that scans wine and food with a spectrometer, and compares the results with its database. Sommeliers need not worry, though. Right now it is in the prototype stage and sometimes can be way off in its results, like mistaking a person's hand for prosciutto or bacon. If the robotic wine steward is still quite a ways away from becoming perfected, robotic bartenders are much closer. Just speak your order or use the touchpad and a robotic arm will move from nozzle to nozzle mixing the correct amount of alcohol for each cocktail. It is also equipped with a display of a person's face and pre-programmed witticisms to humanize the machine. Once again though, it doesn't really allow for creativity or subtle changes for each drink when being mixed that only a human bartender would understand. Robotic Wine Taster Robotic Bartender
