Boston Globe on the upcoming WoWee + Evolution robots - "Your next pet robot will probably be able to do more than terrorize your toddlers and cats. It should also, with a few modifications, be smart enough to pick up the living room and may perform another killer app that roboticists have long dreamt about: It is called, ''Fetch me a beer."" [via] - Link.
Pictured here, an Evolution bot and a RoboSapien, they won't breed, so I'll need to wait until the new ones ship. Also pictured a Roomba - it seems to me like Evolution could just do a serial kit - you'd put a laptop with web camera on the Roomba, plug in via USB/serial/Bluetooth and use the Evolution bot smarts to control the Roomba... actually, this might be possible now - be right back...
Update: Ok, it seems like it could be hacked together, I'll send Evolution an email and see if they're up for a project.
