‘Monsieur’ is one invention that alcohol-lovers will get a kick out of. It is a robot bartender that creates customized cocktails based on your drink preferences and habits.
Users choose from a list of 300 cocktails and push a strength slider to indicate if they want their drinks “lightweight”, “normal”, or “boss”. The device learns their drink and strength preferences over time and recommends drinks based on their habits. For example, it can offer users a double after a long day at work, sense if they’re on a date and offer their date a cocktail, and even offer a celebratory drink when a favorite sports team wins.
‘Monsieur’ can detect when cocktail ingredients are running low and sends users a grocery list via text or email. Users can also order drinks using the integrated smartphone app.
It also promotes responsible drinking; the machine monitors alcohol consumption and warns users when their alcohol levels are high, and helps them to hail a cab.
