Is all that bottle-poppin' and drink-serving getting in the way of you
releasing your inner party animal this New Year's Eve? Fear not, dear
readers, for our friends from Japan have built yet another humanoid
service robot, only this time it was constructed using "off the shelf
parts." While we're skeptical that the 'Shack has everything needed to
build one of these for your stateside soiree, the THKR-4 (as he is not-
so-affectionately known) was created to perform all of your mundane
party tasks like opening the fridge, pouring drinks, and greeting
guests. The robot won't be entertaining guests with a dance routine or
kissing you at midnight, but it can give you a back-rub to keep you
relaxed when that inevitable 'party foul' ruins your leather couch.
Check out the video after the break to see the 'bot do its Mr.
Belvedere thing.
