HERB Let us take care of your household

My wife can tell you how much I hate housework to do, and perhaps it is time that we have a grass.

The Exploring Home Robot Butler is a project developed by Intel and is in a position to do some basic tasks such as clearing the table, meals served, and my least favorite task: Do the dishes.

Yes, it's too good to be true. Not only that it is a bit slow to be practical, according to my sources. Apparently, as best he can do is identify what you, the owner wants grass, and then take it. Just as when a soda can, for example, you might want to ask it, even you extend your hand so it does not drop in your palm.

However, I would not even mind if HERB slept through the night to clean the next day. I'm sure I would eventually learn to live with him moving in the night when I could wake up to a clean kitchen and living room, the next day.

Yeah, I do not really know where we are doing in this world where robots all live our work for us. I think my dream a staff of Rosie Jetsons are by far not implemented.

Child creates vacuum-suit Spider-Man

When I was a child, I discovered that I could my arms and legs against a door frame bracket, then “climb” upwards. My family called it my “Spider-Man” trick “for the lack of a better word.

I have never perfected my “Spider-Man” stuff as much as 13-year-old Kono Hibiki. Kono managed to take two 1400-watt vacuum and do it if they really suck against a wall. The end result is a combination of conversion, which is a bit of Iron Man and Spider-Man at the same time.

Kono method is very similar to the gloves, which we reported earlier, to allow the user to climb the walls. It was a demonstration of a BBC science show called Bang Goes the Theory.

Yes, he can climb walls, and I guess his parents are not likely to subside very high. I think it is probably a way to ensure that it can run on the Web and swing to work the lines from building to building.

I think this boy has a name the superhero Spiderlad. I hope he comes to understand that “with great power, is a great technology.” And come the jokes just keep Spider-Man.

Perhaps Kono mass production unit should be established and therefore children can try this anywhere. Something tells me that OSHA and the other parent groups do not want there mattresses and harnesses Sun Spider-Man is “safe.”
