    What is it supposed to do? How does it work? What the heck are those weird things the booth babe is handing to it?


    The article is sort of content-free...

    @Klebert L. Hall: I think those things the booth babe is handing it are like refrigerator-packages or something. Like they're supposed to resemble frozen food, which the robot then puts in the microwave?

    It looks like the worst thing it would be capable of is humping your leg.


    But we all know robots are sneaky like that. They lull you into a false sense of security with their cuteness, then BAM!! It's lights out Charlie and before you know what's happening they've harvested your brain to run the city and your shell of a body is on life-support, operating as a bio fuel cell...
