Meet SAM (AKA Self-propelled Anthropomorphic Manipulator). It was developed by NASA in 1969 for work in outer space and I must admit that I prefer it to that twee humanoid teleoperator thingee they've installed on the ISS.
If I must have a robot, I want one with claws that scares the bejeezus out of people.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
