Video: How (Not) To Destroy Property, Injure People With A PR2

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 9 of July , 2010 at 1:12 am

Oh, this is a safety video and not a how to? Oh.

PR2 is a lot like a little kid… Tons of potential, but best not to leave unsupervised. Except, I guess, that PR2 is the size of a small refrigerator and (according to the safety video) can quite easily squish you, stab you with knives, and set your house on fire. Also, it comes with a wireless kill switch, and I’m pretty sure that little kids don’t have one of those.

This is obviously the training vid they sent out with the eleven bots to different organizations. Sleeper. It’s a disclaimer, but it’s still a sleeper. I had more fun watching the beer video.
