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

Not as creepy as the ones from Boston Dynamics.

Maillard Reactionary म्हणाले...

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

That triggers an orderly shutdown.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent म्हणाले...

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

Rob म्हणाले...

Do they communicate with the black helicopters?

Maillard Reactionary म्हणाले...

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

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

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

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 म्हणाले...

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.

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

Maillard Reactionary म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Starship-badger.com????

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

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

Did it ask if you had seen John Connor?

madAsHell म्हणाले...

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) म्हणाले...

Seems a little irritating.

Fernandinande म्हणाले...

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

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

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

JAORE म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Lot o' robot fans here I see.

There may be hope even yet.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

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

stevew म्हणाले...

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

RK म्हणाले...

Victory for a human over robots!

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

Ralph L म्हणाले...

We don't need no creeping badgers!

Iman म्हणाले...

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

From Bosstown Dynamics

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?

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 म्हणाले...

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

rwnutjob म्हणाले...

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

daskol म्हणाले...

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

Howard म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Report it to security as an unattended object.

mockturtle म्हणाले...

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

rcocean म्हणाले...

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