Heineken opens contactless bar tended by robots for its alcohol-free beer

From today patrons in Sydney can attend the Heineken 0.0 ‘Zer0.0 Contact Bar’ which is tended by two robotic arms, Heidi and Ken.

The bar comes in response to COVID-19 restrictions, removing person-to-person contact before the Heineken’s alcohol-free beer is consumed. The beer is delivered to Heidi and Ken via a conveyor belt running through the bar.

The robotic arms were developed by a team of robotics students and engineers from the University of Sydney.
