Just yesterday someone asked me about robot bartenders. My response (in many more words cuz I had to explain some basic concepts and define some terms) was that robots are all about consistency of drinks, uniqueness of the experience in the market, enjoyment by the customer, and above all - SHOWMANSHIP. If the technology is cost-effective and reliable, and the customer has fun with the show, and drinks always taste good, you may have a winner. This reminds me - there are a number of "robot showmen" in the Orlando theme parks who behave very consistently, don't get sick, don't make demands, don't take vacations or breaks, and who don't need pay. Their employers love 'em! Since tiki has historically always changed and evolved, I'd like to hear Sven's take on this.
