THKR-4 Gets The Party Started

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 31 of December , 2010 at 1:16 am

The Robo-One Humanoid Helper Robot Project challenges hobbyists to create robots capable of performing common household tasks. I’m not sure whose house these robots have been chillin’ at, but these common household tasks include getting drinks from a fridge, pouring said drinks, setting off a party popper, waiting until you’re hammered, and then giving you a shoulder massage.

And then the video cuts out, but you can fill in the blanks… Just make sure to ask it to deactivate its crotch cam before things get too crazy.

Happy new year!

Heh. I think I would have been more impressed if it had closed the fridge door after getting the champagne. And does anybody else think it has a squeaky, mousey voice?
