coffee bot
Deliver coffee and make people happy with it | |
For home or office this robot would consist of a mobility platform combined with a coffee maker and navigation system. It would respond to a button or smartphone radio signal. Features such as the ability to fill and clean the coffee maker would be nice.

Not bad, but if it could deliver freshly mixed Martinis it would be even more popular. |

Imagines a navigation error resulting in it tipping end over end down a long flight of concrete stairs then bursting open on the way, spraying boiling coffee in every direction. (sniggers) |

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." |

Actually it is impossible to underestimate the brilliance of this
idea. |
|
| |
The amount of time wasted by peons trudging back and to to the
coffee machine is horrific. Water coolers are just as bad. |
|
| |
The answer is an autonomous robot that can collect beverages
from a standard machine and deliver them right to the desk.
Products from food vending machines could also be delivered.. |

This would mean that workers never have the excuse to stop
what they're doing for a moment, raising both productivity and
morale. If not, maybe the robot could also have a whip for
administering floggings to the demotivated. |
|
| |
Workers could have the cost of the beverage deducted from their
salary, and it would also allow the boss to keep an eye on
restroom breaks; a roaming "boss-eye" drone could follow
anyone leaving their workstation and literally hover outside the
door until they return. |
|
| |
This will also cut down on opportunities for seditious
conversations. |

//restroom breaks// just add plumbing to each workstation? |

What would Wally do, then? |
