[HardOCP News]

I don't care if these guys taught a robot how to clean house, we all know the damn thing will eventually just KILL US ALL!

Now play that video at normal speed. It'll take 20 minutes to throw that bottle away.

".......KILL US ALL! "

I suppose there's the huge advantage to my Roomba. I know for a fact I can kill it with a glass of water.

and it has no hands. Maybe that should be a law, 'No robot shall be equipped with hands.'

 

[CacaSapo]

Will it demand equal pay for equal work?

Will it demand equal pay for equal work?

Only when used in California.

Ya...cleaning skills might be very important to robots for when they need to dispose of all our dead bodies!

Guess the past future is finally now. Or soon to be now. Or some such.

It will clean your house, then clean your clock.

When I watched the video I was thinking that the future is decades away.

If we're being serious, It has a long ways to go for sure.

Why does a house cleaning robot need to look humanoid? My dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge don't look human... neither does my roomba.

First they clean your house...maybe even your pet rabbit. Then they figure out that everything needs cleaning but are kept down by the man and decide to cleance the universe. I recall a Star Trek Voyager (?) episode where an android gets all fucked up and kills everyone in the crew because they leave nasty stuff behind on everything they touch.

I can just picture the early prototypes being tested in an actual house, and something goes wrong and it just starts trashing everything. "Make it stop!" "I can't there's no override we did not think it would do this!" Eventually the US military is involved, and the robot is stopped but the whole block is in ruins.

I'll be interested in robots only when they can clean and have dirty sex with.

Would not work for me. The dog hair would jam it all up.
