Awesome Robot Bodyguard



Me and the robosapien
Originally uploaded by Quachro.

Of course, this particular Robosapien robot is just a promotional piece used by a shop in the Singapore airport to sell stuff, but it's still interesting to imagine what would happen if it was fully operational. It might give Kevin Costner some competition for Whitney Houston's affections. Come to think of it, motorized or not, it's probably a much better actor than Costner....

Thanks to Robert for pointing out the photo.
