Poobot



Engineers at at the University of Pennsylvania's GRASP Lab finally do something sensible and build a robot that can scoop up dog poo.

They could sell a squadron of these down the local dog park.

    And the dogs could have hours of fun chasing them and barking at them, too. Until confusion sets in.

    Doggy thought process;

    "BARK! BARK!"

    "BARK! BARK!"

    "Hey, why isn't this thing running away?"

    "I'd do something to it- but it isn't a fireplug."

    "I'll jump on it next. OOF! That HURT."

    "I wonder if it's a squirrel in disguise?"

    ;-)

    cheers

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.
