I Robot - You 're On Candid Camera

So, how much fun could you have with a mobile robotic platform controlled from your PC and fully equipped with Pan/tilt/zoom cameras, audio transmitter/receiver, and appendages that work? It's all available and just waiting for someone to put it all together. Or, if your a conspiracy theory subscriber, the government already has these amongst us. Which, BTW, is in large part already true. The average person is caught on video camera 300 times a day. That is a highly conservative estimate. Just a trip to a major chain grocery store will buy you some bytes on a surveillance system recording your trips down the aisle. So, brush your pearly whites the next time you head out to shop and remember, Smile, you're on candid camera!



So, how real are robots?

Remember these lovable robots?
