Reveal how people perform under pressure.
A mind-controlled challenge that reveals how people perform when focus, control and composure are put under pressure.
The first attempt feels like discovering a new mental muscle. It is difficult to control, but once mastered some people can pour with surprising precision.
- Makes invisible skills visible

What it is
A mind-controlled drinks pouring robot that lets guests pour a drink using only their concentration.
How it works
Guests wear an EEG headset and use their concentration to control Homer. They turn the tap on and off and adjust the angle of the glass using only their mind, learning to control a skill they have never used before.
Why it works for a learning event
Homer turns focus and composure into something people can experience. Participants use concentration to control the robot while the pressure builds, revealing how they respond when attention, control and performance really matter.
The human experience
The hook
Think you have Jedi powers? Prove it.
The challenge
Maintain your concentration long enough to pour the perfect drink.
The jeopardy
Maintain focus throughout the pour. Lose concentration and the robot responds immediately — the glass drifts, the flow changes and the perfect pour starts to disappear.
If you win
A perfect drink created using only your mind.
If you lose
Lose control and Homer lets everyone know. Sometimes it’s a tiny disappointing drink. Sometimes it’s a frothy waterfall all over the robot.

We've used the Beer Robot three times now - and it's been a huge success each time. We've had queues of people lining up to try it, and has been the talk of the town at all the events where we've rolled it out.
