Carlo Ratti designs driverless robotic bar called Guido
Italian architect Carlo Ratti has revealed his concept for an autonomous robotic cafe and bar that would make on-demand cocktails for city-dwellers wherever they are.
The driverless drinks cart, called Guido, has a unit with two mechanical arms ? one for shaking and stirring and another for pouring and serving ? that can accurately prepare and serve any drink within seconds, mounted onto a self-driving vehicle platform.
Billed as the world's first self-driving bar unit, Guido was devised in collaboration with Ratti's company Makr Shakr in a bid to offer new leisure experiences in urban environments.
The concept is a development on Ratti's mass-market robotic cocktail maker, called Nino, which has the capacity to mix an infinite variety of cocktails using up to 170 bottles of different spirits stored in its overhead rack. "Guido is the application of a city-on-demand paradigm," said Makr Shakr CEO Emanuele Rossetti.
"By matching Makr Shakr's robotic bartenders with the mobility systems of the future researched by Carlo Ratti Associati, we can put forward a new idea for the experience of leisure."
"Our company has always encouraged a paradigm of participation when it comes to making your own drink," he added.
"Now, what happens if you extend the same approach to the city" With Guido, we show how technologies can make cities more responsive, and ultimately more fun."
For the time being, Guido is just a concept, but Carlo Ratti ...
