Yeah there's also the picobrew thingy too. http://picobrew.azurewebsites.net/

I think its pretty easy to mix up some MB and water, so these AG robot things better make really good beer.

Had not seen or heard of it.

Sometimes me thunks ppl are just getting lazy, too lazy. Let an app, or a puter do the brewing for you. IF it works, you would probably get consistent brews, insert hops, grains and yeast, let the puter do the rest. IF this is what ppl want to make them think they have homebrew, by all means, go for it. Myself, if this is what it came down to, taking.... ME out of the equation, I will just buy commercial swill, would be easier with about the same outcome and seriously cheaper.

This IS NOT intended to bash the OP or anyone else, just MY 2 cents worth. Thanks for the link, it's amazing what these ppl are coming up with nowadays. I could see someone setting up a.. what are those 3 tier systems electronically controlled, RIMS? Would not be very hard for a good electronics guy to set one of those up with a receiver, just dial it up, hit a key and it does everything automatically? Don't get me wrong, I would love to have one of those 3 tier systems, I just can't justify it.

AGAIN, I'm not bashing brew for putting this up. I love seeing what they come up with! Thanks!

To me this is for a rich person who likes fresh brewed beer but is not interested in brewing.

I think Gymrat nailed it. It's a clever gadget, but most of us brew for the process in varying degrees. If I wanted it done for me, I'll just buy craft brew.
But I do admire the American ingenuity.
