The world's first mind-reading beer pump has been unveiled at Bristol's Watershed. The revolutionary device lets punters pour the perfect pint - using just their brain.
The robot - called Homer - uses electroencephalogram (EEG) technology to track brain patterns via activity in the forehead. Users then control both the tap pouring and the angle of the glass - and the more focused the user the better their pint turns out.
Homer began as a fun experiment set up by an entrepreneur, robotics expert and neuroscientist Seth Jackson. It was created just a year later when CEO Seth set up the company Thirsty Thoughts - which has offices in Bristol and London- to share the machine with the public.
