Roomba Frogger
Every once in awhile a robot comes along that captures the essence of meaning of technology for civilization.
It is an application of technology that rises above mundane manufacturing and keeping humans alive.
It is a robot that shows how the partnership of humans and robots can rise above the animal kingdom.
Roomba Frogger is exemplary.
A week or so ago Phillip Torrone of Make was demonstrating his modified Roomba by battling it out with other modified housekeepers. The units have bluetooth interfaces installed so they can be operated remotely with a pc.
CNET news has reported that Mr. Torrone and cohorts have taken their modified Roombas on the road, literally, for some live-action Frogger.
Dateline Austin, Texas outside a hotel during SXSW.
The Roomba, dressed as a frog, darted back and forth across four lanes of traffic desperately trying to avoid certain death.
The fearless Roomba/frog lasted 10 crossing before it was pancaked.
