I encounter one of the slow-moving robots of the University of Wisconsin.

Temujin કહ્યું...

Not as creepy as the ones from Boston Dynamics.

Maillard Reactionary કહ્યું...

When they follow you, you have to say: "Klaatu barada nikto".

That triggers an orderly shutdown.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent કહ્યું...

I imagine there's whole phalanxes of "slow-moving robots" on today's campuses. Not like the quicksilver wits of my youth.

Rob કહ્યું...

Do they communicate with the black helicopters?

Maillard Reactionary કહ્યું...

The robots there are "Midwest Nice", like Amy Klobblobber.

Like C.E. Refulgent says, most of them are on the faculty and BOD.

rehajm કહ્યું...

Putting a future UW grad out of a job...

wildswan કહ્યું...

I am Professor English Literature. Can you say "Shakespeares was hierarchical structures of oppression?" If, so, follow me; please. If not, hide in place.

Maillard Reactionary કહ્યું...

wildswan: I could say that, but choose not to, because of the disagreement of subject/verb/object plurality.

Easy for me to do so, I'm retired.

RK કહ્યું...

Given all of those trips along Lake Mendota, when are we going to find out whether they float or not.

Maillard Reactionary કહ્યું...

RK: Good question. I think that working together Our Hostess and Meade could chuck it quite a ways.

Lithium batteries and water: Perfect together (especially from the lithium's point of view-- it's just so happy to get all oxidized, with entertaining results. Mileage may vary though for the fish).

"I deliver to Badgers"

When I was that age, all I wanted delivered were pussy, beer, and weed. Did something change??

madAsHell કહ્યું...

Starship-badger.com????

Because starshipbadger.com was already taken?? At what am I looking??

Yancey Ward કહ્યું...

Did it ask if you had seen John Connor?

madAsHell કહ્યું...

oh......it's really a delivery service, but I'm not convinced they can deliver pussy.

When "Your Android is a Pimp" is either a promotional for a Google phone, or a Philip K. Dick novel!!

Howard (not that Howard) કહ્યું...

Seems a little irritating.

Fernandinande કહ્યું...

That thing is taking a job from someone of my ilk.

Yancey Ward કહ્યું...

What's to stop pranksters from just picking the thing up and throwing it into the lake?

JAORE કહ્યું...

It is going that slow because it is a union robot. But it promises a quicker pace if the minimum wage is raised to $15 an hour.

Maillard Reactionary કહ્યું...

Lot o' robot fans here I see.

There may be hope even yet.

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

When I see those on Campus, I force them to walk around me. Victory for a human over robots!

stevew કહ્યું...

Other than tooling around what does it do? Or did i quit on the video too soon?

RK કહ્યું...

Victory for a human over robots!

You won a battle but you won't win the war.

Ralph L કહ્યું...

We don't need no creeping badgers!

Iman કહ્યું...

I like this one: https://youtu.be/y3RIHnK0_NE

Iman કહ્યું...

From Bosstown Dynamics

mikee કહ્યું...

I, for one, look forward to the Trump re-election bumper stickers that will be placed on these come next spring. And the irrational violence that follows, of course. Because the robot deserves it, right?

RK કહ્યું...

I, for one, look forward to the Trump re-election bumper stickers that will be placed on these come next spring.

Great idea! But wear a ski mask -- the engineers have probably thought of that and will send your photo to the campus police.

David in Flagstaff કહ્યું...

Identical to the ones at Northern Arizona U. They deliver food and find the students via their cell phone apps.

rwnutjob કહ્યું...

We've had one at the headquarters of my company for 20 years. Inside only. Delivers & picks up mail

daskol કહ્યું...

Star Wars is space opera not hard scifi, but they have robots look just like that roaming Imperial Starships in the first film.

Howard કહ્યું...

Mad as Hell:. In my day, it was only pizza delivered. The rest you had to hunt, beg, borrow or steal. By mentioning delivered pussy twice, it's obvious that you were going steady with Rosie and her five sisters.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

Report it to security as an unattended object.

mockturtle કહ્યું...

Not as creepy as the disembodied head in the upper left-hand corner. ;-)

rcocean કહ્યું...

I like the mall "Robot Security" ones better. just don't touch them - they get very upset.
