Homer

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 private party

A drinks experience your guests genuinely won’t have seen before. Homer turns a familiar moment into something magical. Guests compete, laugh and create their own perfect pour using only their minds.

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.

Rezonence

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.
