Robot Navigates Obstacle Course and….Gives Free Hugs?

November 3rd, 2009 :: 0 Comments

Below is a video of a robot demonstration to what looks like an elementary school class.  When I was in elementary school we never got cool robot shows, just Number Munchers.

In the video, a robot navigates an obstacle course until it comes upon a wooden statue of a human.  The robot then proceeds to give it a big robo-hug and carries it a short distance.  I can’t imagine a robo-hug would be very comfortable, and personally I would be terrified as to where it was taking me.
