Last fall my friend Seth Leinbach at In-Position Technologies casually mentioned that he sells a 6 axis collaborative robot (like this) that can do just about anything that a human hand/arm can do. My question, of course, was “Can it pour a beer?” He replied in the affirmative so I set up an event with the Northern Colorado Manufacturing Partnership, an organization that has close to 500 manufacturing members, at New Belgium Brewing that has nationwide notoriety as the producer of Fat Tire Amber Ale.
