The robots are coming. Some think they are coming to take our jobs. They are right. The Nobot, however, is designed to be controlled by a human rather than its own software brain. Think of it as a robot that you control for doing the work you don’t want to…

WheeMe Massage Robot

The robots are taking over, which in this case is a good thing because I can't get anyone to rub my back.  The girl in the photo however, should have no need for this robotic massager, she probably has guys lined up to cop a feel provide a massage. The…

Angry Robot Sex – Spykee vs Rovio

OK, apologies to all the cyber tech pervs, this is just an article about two Wi-Fi “surveillance” bots – Spykee and Rovio. Spykee is made by Erector (giggidy) and Rovio by WowWee (wtf?). Both of these massively overpriced toys arrived just in time for our economic boom to fill the…
