MSC Cruises’ new flagship vessel, launching later this year, will feature a particularly unusual employee: a “humanoid” robot bartender. Rob will be ensconced behind the ship’s “futuristic” bar, on hand to “mix and serve his signature cocktails, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and countless personalized drinks, just like a human bartender would do, whilst engaging the guests with his voice, human-like expressions for a fully immersive bar experience,” according to the cruise line.
