[...] Los científicos japoneses crearon un robot que resulta especial para los quehaceres del hogar, ya que limpia pisos, lava la ropa y hasta la cocina. Puede ver objetos en tres dimensiones, localizarlos y darse cuenta cuando una labor no está completa y ponerse en marcha para terminarla. Dicen que su labor preferida es la de lavar ropa, puede encontrar una camisa sucia, llevarla a la lavadora y hacerla funcionar apretando los controles de esta, eligiendo cuando lavar, o enjuagar o centrifugar.

*pfft* If it’s not dressed in a cute little black outfit and can’t serve me cake while calling me “master,” I’m not interested.

Also, look how bulky that thing is. It could barely enter my apartment, let alone vacuum the place. It’s hard to imagine where in Japan these engineers live if they think this design is viable for cramped Japanese homes.

I’d love to see when it mistakes the family pet for a “dirty” rag and throws it in the washer, or strangles someone because they looked “out of place”.

Technology is cool, but i bet it will spell our DOOM.

DOOOOOOOOOM!!
