This little daisy is the most awesome thing in the world. Her name is Hina and she is a remote controlled robot (the video is much funnier when you don’t know she's being controlled).
Hina is very carefully and skillfully preparing a cup of coffee for her master. She starts with the grinding of the beans and proceeds to complete the job (with some help, though).
Hina does the entire job in no time and even appears to be happy at work. Watch the video (more than once) and enjoy Hina the coffee-making robot.
