Did you ever wonder why the majority of scrolling Matrix code has Japanese Katakana characters in it? Well I’ll tell you why. It’s because the Japanese are crazy sons a bitches when it comes to robotics and artificial intelligence. Not only do I believe Japan has a secret army of Mobile Suit Gundams, but I believe that one day Japan will create a self aware robot — one with a seemingly mundane purpose and task such as helping humans pour tea in the morning. Instead of convenience, these “harmless” robots coming out of Japan are a precursor to an eventual robot rebellion. God help us all.
Case in point: Geekologie has a post that describes the latest crazy robot from Japan. This robot is designed to babysit children while their parents go shopping. Sure it’s convenient. But what people don’t know is the ulterior motive of these robots. Deep within their silicon brains they are processing; they are studying us and what better subject, no less, than our children… We’re doomed.
Still not convinced? Here is another robot straight from the labs of the Japanese electronics manufacturer, Sanyo:
One of the most labor-intensive nursing home tasks is bathing frail residents. For this job, Sanyo Electric has introduced what is essentially a robot bathtub.
Do not let the bathtub premise fool you. I believe it’s a prototype for something else — something, perhaps, more useful to the robots than giving elderly people baths. Could it be a prototype designed to harvest human bio-energy!?
Again I’d like to reiterate we’re all doomed; Japan will lead us to the eventual future of an enslaved human race. The only thing that can save us now from our eventual Cylon oppressors is the Battlestar Galactica. Though, if Japan could make a robot with the same features curves as the Cylon Humanoid models, I wouldn’t mind being “oppressed.”

i agree to what CrazyLikeCatfish is saying though. it would be cool to see a live Gundam.
