Robot Slave?

Ok… I realize that earlier I was talking about sentient robots ending the world, but come on you know you want one. While still being a far cry away from being the obedient servant that caters to your every whim this new robot from the University of Tokyo is definitely a step in the right direction. The main function of this little guy is to find the stuff you’ve lost. No longer will you be late to work because you couldn’t find your keys, cause as soon as you ask yourself “Where did I put those pesky keys?”, your little robo-buddy is digging them out of that pile of laundry in the corner.
