(http://readwrite.com/files/styles/800_450sc/public/fields/io_drink_robots.jpg) Google sure knows how to throw a geek fest. The After Hours party after the first day of Google I/O was packed full of augmented reality, food, fun, dancing, Billy Idol and... robots.
Lots and lots of robots.
It was hard not to miss the robots, considering that the main bar on the third floor of Moscone West had three robots mixing cocktails. The wait for a robot-mixed drink was considerable, as a human controller told each bot what concoction to make. Google may have come up with the self-driving car, but these robot bartenders are pretty awesome too.
Check out the photos from the Google I/O After Hours party below.
