Dutch students serve up world's first 'drone café'

A UAV serving booze. What's not to like?

Visitors to Eindhoven University of Technology's Dream and Dare Festival over the next couple of days will able to pop into the world's first "drone café", where an interactive UAV will serve booze to eager punters.

The "Blue Jay" initiative is designed to showcase the potential capabilities of domestic drones, and although the students' vehicle is evidently incapable of lifting a proper pint, it's a step in the right direction.

The Dream and Dare Festival is a celebration to mark the uni's 60th birthday. The blurb explains: "Technology, innovation, music, art, debate, science and a highly varied food line-up will turn the campus into a living landscape where young and old, students and staff, locals and non-locals get together." ®
