Meet robot Beer Cart
He made his debut when the southern city began enjoying new freedom as Spain eased a two-month lockdown, with bars and cafes in half of the country allowed to reopen their terraces.

This robot makes your drink
Sitting in the middle of the bar at La Gitana Loca (The Crazy Gypsy), the giant robotic arm with a "Captain Hook" pincer smoothly reaches over to a dispenser, takes a plastic cup then spins around to hold it at an angle under the tap. Gradually straightening the cup as it fills, the robot then places it on the counter for the customer to pick up.

The eye candy
Serving up small draft beers -- or canas -- for just over a week in the centre of Seville, the bionic barman has drawn a steady stream of both customers and curious onlookers.

Perfect timing!
Alberto Martinez, owner of La Gitana Loca where a small 200ml beer sells for 0.70 euros ($0.75), said he had bought the robot before the epidemic took hold, hoping some mechanical manpower would increase sales. But because of the crisis, it was never put into use -- although he realised it would be perfect in the new environment where people need to stay apart.
