We’ve seen the PR2 robot perform some menial tasks before, but now the robot is capable of doing something rather useful, which is heading over to the fridge to fetch a beer for you. A four-holed foam block was placed behind the robot’s navigation laser, allowing it to safely carry four bottles across the room, and the fridge was tweaked to include a tilted self-stocking shelf. Check out a video of it in action after the jump.
