These surreal machines will be based in different areas of the hotel.

An all-important "Beer Robot" is designed to be able to pour out the perfect pint, something it has been specifically designed to do.

This speciality bot calculates the exact temperature and necessary foam amount to give boozy-Brits the perfect the beer.

The exact angle of the arm has been trialled and perfected, with the possibility of allowing the robot to be able to make other drinks by the pool.
