PR2 Fetches Beer
The good folks at Willow Garage have now modified a PR2 robot to not only fetch beer, but to fetch your choice among four beers and to actually open the bottle for you!
Using a custom web application called Beer Me, the user selects their beer of choice, a delivery location and then hits the button Beer Me.
PR2 then goes off to open the fridge by itself and look at the available selection. If your beer selection is unavailable, PR2 will alert you and let you pick another beer.
PR2 then selects the beer and puts it in a delivery tray mounted to its base. The refrigerator door is then shut and PR2 returns and delivers your beer.
Awesome job guys. When can I get one?
