Willow Garage

[TheIdeasMan]

I have just been watching "America Revealed" on TV, in particular the segment about Willow Garage - they make robots. These Robots stack your dishwasher, fold the laundry, get you a beer from the fridge, and probably beat you at a game of billiards.

The good thing is the their software is available free, and they sell the robots at much reduced prices.

Sounds like Linux vs Microsoft.

Who wants one?

What good are intelligent robot minions here in the UK where we can't get guns?

Don't worry, if the robot rebellion happened tomorrow it would be over very quickly

I forgot to mention, that where I come from - the dishwashers come with their own Tea-Towells !!
