iRobot's Roomba

Mint

Roomba, iRobot's dominating floor cleaning robot, will face new competition with the newly unveiled Mint. The big difference: Mint doesn't just go randomly around the house: it uses an infra red beacon to identity spots that haven't been cleaned yet.

Zombies

Nazis

Open Question: Would you pay $313,985 for this wearable robot suit?

Vote for: Would you let a robot minister marry you?

Sure. That looks like a lot of fun.

Possibly, but only if he's ordained by the robot church

No way. Robots can't be trusteed around human females.

Couples in Japan are begging to opt for automated minsters at their weddings, instead of the more traditional human-type officiants. After all, robots don't forget their lines, and work for even less than the clergy. What is your opinion of using a machine for this formerly human-served purpose?

Open Question: Fujisoft's PALRO: are we on the brink of living with humanoid robots around us?

Vote for: Is this Solar Powered Transforming Robot good?

Yes it is good

No there are better ones available

I don't like it

This is one good robot! Firstly you won't need to buy your kid three different robots because this one can actually transform into three different robots. This is what a true Transformer robot is like! Secondly it is solar powered so you won't need to worry about the batteries, etc. Do you like it?

Vote for: What do you think of the iRobot APOBS weapon?

That's awesome.

No way. Robots shouldn't have weapons.

iRobot has released new video of its Warrior robot, a beefed up version of the more well-known PackBot, demonstrating use of the APOBS (Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching System), an explosive line charge deployed by a rocket, with a small parachute holding back the end of the line. The APOBS, iRobot says, is designed for "deliberate breaching of anti-personnel minefields and multi-strand wire obstacles." Do you like the idea of equipping robots with this type of weaponry?
