Attack of the Chairbot.

Posted by Anita in Gadget, Video Clips on June 7, 2007 at 6:43 pm


When I was in high school, my brother and his friends would play a futuristic PC game called Mechwarrior 2. Could this Hubo FX-1 Chairbot be the first step towards creating deadly world-ravaging Mechwarriors? Maybe … although the designers might first want to work on the speed before field testing in the war zone.

Given that it’s called a chairbot, I’m sure the designers had a much more altruistic aim in mind (I just can’t figure out what it might have been). Hit play or go to link [youtube] to see the chairbot in action. via Gizmodo

    Reminds me of Wallace and Gromit in "The Wrong Trousers". All you need is an evil penguin!

    It's awesome that nerds' love for gadgets help further the ends of many people with disabilities... although I'd much rather have a Professor X chair than a chairbot.
