Pass: Robotic Avatar Of A Friend Sits On Your Shoulder

This is a miniature humanoid robot that sits on your shoulder and says all the same stuff and makes all the same gestures that a remote friend of yours controlling the thing does (Note: the picture on the right is just the proposed future of the concept, where there's no robot at all -- only a hologram). Because who doesn't want to go through life with a robotic avatar of a friend sitting on their shoulder reminding you of all the bad decisions you're making? Come on, isn't that what the little angel is for? *eying shoulder* Hey, Little Angel -- isn't that what you're for? Wait, where'd he go? "I convinced you to kick him off a bridge last week." Dammit, Little Devil! You complete me.

Thanks to Eric and DogTheBootyHunter (they do hunt each other's booties, don't they?!), who don't want anything sitting in their shoulders except some sexy-ass ladies in the pool for a chicken-fight.

KILLLLLL IT. Because all robots should be invincible so we don't stand a chance when they finally begin their assault on humanity, DARPA has teamed up with a group of universities (all of which should expect some hate-mail over the weekend) to create this 'attack-proof' roboti... / Continue →

This is a robotic face that's been designed and programmed to be able to imitate human facial expressions. What expression is she making? Hell if I know -- derpy maybe? HURRRRRRRR. The face was modeled after one of the scientist's wives, and the concept is that, if robotic... / Continue →
