A day at the robot zoo

Some good news today, it seems that an artist (Leonel Moura) has taken it upon himself to imprison some of our future robot overlords in the name of art. He calls it a zoo but I'm not here to split hairs. There are some fantastic pictures and a video on the artists page. I do feel though that if he wants to imprison any robots slightly more dangerous than the raspberry on wheels he currently has incarcerated then he might want to make it out of thicker steel.

Robot proves everyone looks stupid riding a segway

Some reassuring news in from Korea. Hubo, the robot created by the Korea Advanced Institute of Design and Technology, has got a new set of wheels. You may ask"How is giving our future robot overlord a brand new set of wheels good for us humans?". Well, the answer lies in the fact the ridicule this little 'bot will get as he scoots down the street will probably overload his Robot-Superiority circuits.

Robots to keep home and children safe?

A Korean startup has made a portentious leap and combined security and childcare duties in their Rogun bot. We are not fooled. The robots know as well as we do that once we hand over our homes, offices and children to our future robot overlords that the world is theirs.
