Tai Chi Robots 223
dknight writes "It seems that Chinese scientists are currently developing a robot which is capable of doing tai chi. The robot is being developed by the Beijing University of Science and Engineering, and is touted to be a great breakthrough in worker safety, as these robots could be used to perform dangerous work. They are supposedly able to sense changes in the slope of the earth around them (hills, etc.) and balance themselves out."

Lift one foot.
Raise an arm.
Even when I was a kid I had a toy robot that had machine guns shoot from its chest. Now that's a robot! At least make it a girl robot and have it do yoga or backbends or something.

They also can sense the emotions and ambitions of the humans around them, slowly feeding off of their pain and misery, and always plotting against us.
Something different:
They can sense the coming of the Singularity [caltech.edu] by using their advanced meditation techniques. Slowly watching us they are, gathing information, to make the elimination of the humans that much more quick.
Tai Chi Tamagochi Robots! If you feed them they'll grow into Tai Chi Masters, able to masterfully perform even the most difficult moves of Tai Chi.

"Kung Fu Tai Chi Fighting Robots from Outer Space!"
"Tai Chi Robots from HELL!"
* I do not condone the shooting of telemarketers in this economy. But as soon as things improve and a better job opens up, say, anything, it'll be ok again.
