Is this for real?
I admit I’m skeptical but if it is, this is truly remarkable technology (I’d suggest turning down or off your sound as it buzzes very annoyingly).
But as unlikely as it seems, it probably is real. Have a look at this guy from Germany. And good old Wikipedia has quite an interesting entry on Robots.
I love robots. One of my favorites is a little robot built in the U.S. that runs about the hallways of the school plugging itself into wall sockets (really!). And it can be really fun to watch the Battle of the Bots and see the guys trying to destroy each other’s robots that took £900 million to build and probably caused a divorce or two along the way.
But if you really want to bug your co-workers, have a look at this toy. I sincerely hope nobody gives one to my cube mate for Christmas. :O(
And then there’s this guy who looks frighteningly like a human child in a spacesuit.
But until they come up with one that does the laundry, looks adoringly at me whilst answering ‘yes, of course anything you say’ to anything I say and then makes me a drink, well, I guess I’ll stick with the human variety. He doesn’t do that either but what the heck, he’s got a cute butt and a hell of a smile.

That’s OLD!
But a great clip. I love the spoof which is linked to on the same page.

And here I thought I’d come up with something new and exciting. :O(
