"Although robots are increasingly more important to our society and have more advanced technology, they cannot yet do certain tasks like those carried out by mammals," according to researcher Professor Eduardo Ros Vidal.

Ewwwwww... I so don't want to know what he's talking about.

And of course they're also working on artificial skin for robots... Why am I not surprised?

That's great, Vikki. Did you ever see Robot Frank? It's just a domain squatter site now, but it used to be pretty funny.

You'll probably want to upgrade to the cordless model, Becks.

Probably better left unsaid, CP.

WP, that stuff can poison you? Note to self: stop eating silica gel.
