HERB
Short for Home Exploring Robot Butler. When it isn't hunting Sarah Connor, it hands out bottles of Fuze.
Interesting technology, but I see some consumer resistance if they plan to market it as a butler. The idea of a mechanical Jeeves to fetch the tea is tempting, but as far as I recall the flesh and blood Jeeves never stood behind Bertie Wooster's chair with metal claws poised to clutch and rend.
Call me old fashioned, but it's hardly feudal, is it?

Hope you don't mind the link but I hope you find it amusing.

It's Gog! From the movie! He's taken off his Dalek suit and hidden his flame thrower somewhere, but I'd recognize those beady video cameras anywhere!
I saw 'home exploding'.
It's my bedtime.
At least it's not H.E.R.B.I.E. of the animated Fantastic Four.
