Cute robots in real-life situations are coming. Yehaa! Look at this tiny skiing robot, that is able to really ski down the slope. It was researched by Bojan Nemec at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia. The robot navigates autonomously using video camera and other sensors.

Chris - Have fun there! (I'm hiking, in these days)
Eggshell Robotics - Hm, hm. Is this a robot? Well, sure it is. What is a factory-belt robot? Is this a robot? Not sure at all? In fact, they are just machines, right? But... there is a significant pattern underneath, that you also mention indirectly: what defines a robot? Do they have rights (or wrongs)? Check "Roboethics" i.e on this blog, to dig deeper into that one.
mo. - Is this really a robto? To me, this is more a stoopid machine. How do you define a robot? What is a robot?
Dean - Hey that is tops, Especially like the high speed cameras
Eggshell Robotics - Well, Mr. Roboto. Could you be a little more precise the next time you post a link or write a comment? The general website on interactive-robotics is very general and don't really show what you mean.
Mr.Roboto - Check out the latest ice cream robot on the market! http://interactive-robotics.com/
Nomad - i was waiting for one of the robots to shoot off a missile and annihilate one of the other other robots
Eggshell Robotics - Well, okay then. It shows the phenomena of the effect. Thanks for pointing this out.
