Robotic Bartender Reads Body Language
Sep-23-13
James, the robotic bartender, can read a person’s body language to determine if they are ready for another drink—or too rude to be allowed one.The "Joint Action in Multimodal Embodied Systems" robot is equipped with software that allows it to interpret a person’s body language, and serve customers in the order that it notices their need. While there have been other robotic bartenders developed in recent years, James differs in that the users do not need to learn how to order from its touchscreen or access it with a smartphone. Instead, the team behind James used video cameras to record people at bars, and learned the most common way a person attempts to order a drink from the bartender (standing facing the bar and looking at the bartender). This data was then used to program James, helping the bot to attain a new level of socially intelligent behavior and recognize when a patron is ready for another drink.
The ultimate goal of the James project is to create robots able to “deal with situations in which socially appropriate interaction is vital.”

This new invention, although is a smart idea takes away social communication. our generations is already so dependent on technology, why create a robot to hand out drinks?
this could create problems as cutting jobs, and could lead to financial issues. how will the robot know if the drinker paid and how much the drink would cost.
It wants to create the vital social interaction between the robot and human, but this is similar to the fiction movie I,Robot. this invention will lead to more sociable robots which isn't a smart idea.
