Robots by Sony (and me)

	i have wings like a plane

I just read this article about a new robot by Sony called "Qrio." It sounds vaguely cute, in an Aibo-but-not-dog-shaped kind of way, but I don't want one. The idea of a robot companion is nice, but I would prefer a robot that makes me dinner or vacuums my apartment. Wouldn't useful robots have more appeal to the overworked masses than a robot that dances or wags its tail?



Maybe I shouldn't talk, though -- I thought this little flying robot I painted was cute, but now I'm realizing it wouldn't be good for much either. It's not big enough to carry people around. I guess it's just for sky-based fun, like a kite or a remote controlled airplane? (I am just as bad as Sony!)
