Last week we brought you mildly-cool, but apparently still very useless experimental, Japanese wine-tasting robot.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese beer industry presents us with the Asahi Refrigerator Robot:

It’s flaws are obvious and many:

• The robot doesn’t bring you the beer, you have to walk over to the robot;
• The robot takes an eternity to do anything;
• The robot spills beer everywhere; and, worst of all,
• The robot pours what looks like a terrible, frothy beer.

In fact, it looks like Doc Brown’s dog food dispensing machine from Back to the Future, with a fridge attached.
