韓國陪酒機器人邀君共飲 會臉紅有酒量
Drinky: The South Korean robot ready to share a glass of booze with lonely drinkers
With this mechanical friend, you'll never have to drink alone!
有了這個陪酒機器人,媽媽再也不擔心我一個人喝悶酒了！
Some creative visionaries harness the power of technology to help people work more efficiently or to stay connected with friends and family in different parts of the world. Eunchan Park, however, had a different goal in mind. The South Korean inventor wanted to put his robotics knowhow to use in making alcoholic beverages taste better.
有些發明家利用技術幫助人們高效工作或與世界各地的親朋好友保持聯系.但是,韓國發明家樸恩惠卻不這樣想,他想利用自己掌握的機器人技術讓一個人飲酒變得更有趣.
And thus was born Park's robotic drinking buddy, who's appropriately named Drinky.
因此樸恩惠的陪酒機器人就誕生了,他稱其為Drinky.
The inspiration for Drinky came during a dateless Christmas which Park spent with a bottle of soju (the traditional Korean alcohol called shochu in Japan). During his solo drinking session, Park decided, on a whim, to pour a second glass and place it in front of himself, as though he were drinking with a friend. He found that doing so improved not only the atmosphere in the room, but also how he perceived the soju's flavor, and figured that even more benefits could be reaped with a robotic companion.
