Japan builds harmless robotic maid, or is it?

Thursday 1 March 2007 @ 6:39 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 1 Comment

Engineers at Tokyo University demonstrated this household helper robot yesterday. The bipedal robot uses its two cameras mounted on its head to navigate around your house and recognize objects.

Well the Japanese just keep on pushing for a better future huh? When we once thought they could be developing killer gun-toting robots it turns out they are actually just making a nice robot to help you around the house and serve you tea.  But wait… isn’t that design a little bit much for a maid robot? Haven’t I seen that design before? I think I have… yes!

Its a freaking Patlabor mecha! Those cunning engineers were trying to fool us. Well their clever ruse is no more, they are planning on building gun carrying robots, I just dont know if this is awesome or scary anymore.
