Next-gen Robot Toys to Fetch Beer

FleaPlus writes "The Boston Globe reports that WowWee Toys, the creators of robots like the hack-friendly Robosapien series, has announced a collaboration with Evolution Robotics. WowWee's next generation of robots will make use of Evolution's tech for visual object recognition and indoor navigation, hopefully with future versions being able to not just entertain, but also 'perform useful tasks such as fetching a beer or even helping to carry the groceries.'"

Obligatory joke

[linguizic]

I swear if anyone one makes the obligatory "I for one welcome our new robotic beer fetching overlords" joke I'll mod'em down. I don't know how that joke still gets mod points. I love the Simpsons too, but chill people, I don't know how many times I've read that joke today.
