The HR-2 robot was constructed during a period of three months at Chalmers University in Sweden. It has 22 degrees of freedom which enables it to easily move around imitating human motions. The robot is also equipped with stereovision giving it possibilities to perform hand-eye coordination. For that task an artificial neural network is evolved. Furthermore, the artificial brain is capable of tracking faces as well as recognising them. The HR-2 is also able to speak.

Come on people! We know that it’s slow, pours big head, and is utterly pointless…..that’s why it’s cool!! Would it be more practical to spend even more money and develop a robot that pours faster?
No matter what, it’s always easier to pour a beer yourself.
If you really want to get into the mood for Halloween, just go to one of your local haunted houses. Tracy Smith visited a modern-day haunted house for some old fashion fun. Expensive high-tech monsters and more!
