No wonder the birth rate is down. That's what kids are for.

Iron? They use iron in these robots?

I can't see a big market for a device that has to cost more than your house and whose only purpose is to turn on the TV and fetch a soda now and then.

The Japanese are making tremendous progress in robotics, but they're still far from making anything useful to the home market.

By the way, does anyone know why Americans don't seem to be doing ANY research into robotics? Is that another industry we've outsourced because we're too lazy or stupid to do the work?

Now, if we can just build one that will run your exercise bike to the bathroom and back, we'll have it made.
