More on the Wine Robot
Filed in archive Wine News on September 7, 2006
I reported awhile back about a wine robot that can taste wine, so to speak.
Well, finally I found an article with not only a few more details about this bad-boy but also a picture. He's actually kind of cute.
From BBC News:
The so-called robot-sommelier, or "wine-bot", can "taste" and identify types of wine, and also has the ability to discern and analyse foods.
The 2ft-tall (0.6m) robot, developed by NEC System Technologies and Mie University, uses infrared light to identify different tastes.
The Associated Press says the robot could become personalised to recommend wines to suit its owner's palate.
The green and white robot was initially developed to taste and identify foods, analysing the different kinds and quantities of ingredients within them.
But now its tasting technology has moved into the world of wine, and the robot is capable of distinguishing several different types or blends of grapes.
