Homer, a robot that uses electroencephalogram (EEG) technology to let you punter pour the perfect pint, has been unveiled by an entrepreneur, robotics expert and neuroscientist Seth Jackson. 

Seth said: "This is the world's one and only mind-controlled, beer-pouring robot. It reads your mind and measures your mental focus.

"It doesn't know what you're focusing on, you could be focusing on anything, but you're controlling the robots pour of the tap and the angle of the glass. If you're good at it you pour the perfect pint, if you're bad at it you make a big frothy mess all over my robot."

Seth continued: ''We built it eight years ago as an experiment, as a prototype and it's turned into an amazing business. It's a technology for joy."
