INTERNATIONAL: A robotic arm is serving up enticing elixirs to visitors of the Main Media Center on the grounds of the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Weary media workers covering the Winter Games can order a drink from the robot and throw one back in the Bar Area off the main dining hall, part of the Covid bubble journalists will be confined to during the Olympics which start on February 4.

The agile arm can mix more than a dozen types of cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and it does it all in Olympic speed.

It takes the robot just 70 to 90 seconds to measure, shake, and serve the perfect beverage.

Human bartenders are also on duty to lend a hand if that antiquated human touch is ever needed.
