Cafe Robot can serve coffee but what about barista love?

I expect to see more and more robot stories as the world’s computing power advances. Here’s an example: Cafero the cafe robot.

Sure it can dish out coffees with precision and efficiency but you can’t socialize with it; can’t ask it what it’s doing for the weekend or talk about the weather. I’ll take my friendly human barista over a robot any day. Correction – if it were R2D2 or C3PO, I’d have a dilemma…
