Japan's 2008 Robot of the Year 


i-SOBOT FTW

This year's Grand Prize goes to the 6.5″ i-SOBOT, a ¥30,000 (about $300) domestic entertainment robot that can do all sorts of fun stuff and has internal gyroscopic balance sensors.

Special Jury Prize went to a GPS-equipped, autonomous, rice-planting robot.

The Cutest Remote Control EVAR 

ApriPoko, this unbearably cute remote control from (where else) Japan can tell when you're using another remote control, and actually asks you what you just did. You tell it (for example, "I turned up the volume on the TV"), and it records the infared signal that the other remote sent out. Then if you later tell ApriPoko, "Turn up the volume on the TV," it emits that exact same infrared signal to the TV!

Robots Would Never Hurt Us 

Robot Guitar!I'm going to say: It's about damned time. Gibson has come out with a Robot Guitar. What makes it a robot? No, it doesn't transform into a bipedal robot and run around. Instead, it tunes itself. It automatically spins its tuning knobs until all the strings are in tune.

I am wondering why it took until now, many years into the 21st century, for someone to actually create something like this.

But that is of little import. It is here now, added to the growing list of useful robots that the general populace can actually own!
