Your Kid Wants A Robot Rickshaw Slave

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 25 of September , 2009 at 2:17 am

On some level, we’re all aware that robots are our slaves. All robots, everywhere, all the tim. They’re built to serve. But somehow, watching this video makes me vaguely uncomfortable. I know it’s completely and utterly ridiculous to feel anything at all, but still, I can’t help but feel a little bad for the robot, forced to haul kids around all day in a mall in the Philippines. As Mark Wilson points out over on Gizmodo, if there’s anything that’s going to ensure that robots rise up against us, it’s gonna be stuff like this.
