And now it's time for your feel good story of the day. It's about robots, too!
As they quietly prepare for their uprising, robots are currently killing time (instead of humans) by doing things like building our cars for us. Since it's National Robotics Week, Ford decided to feature an unsung hero of robotics working at their Niehl, Cologne, Germany plant, robot doctor Gerd Zech.
Why are we still talking about cars, anyway? They're yesterday's news. They're a relic of the 20th century. (The 19th century, if you want to get technical.) Today, I have seen the future, and it is robot ostriches from Russia.

The Transformers concept is such a wildly appealing idea that not even a series of abominable movies can stunt the raw desire flowing through every…
This year's shark week just ended, but why not dredge up another cool shark story? Marine biologists from Stanford University found an unlikely surfer to help them track the migration routes of Great White Sharks: the Wave Glider robot. What will those brainy Stanford
The flight deck on an aircraft carrier is like a perfectly choreographed ballet. And to ensure that unmanned autonomous aircraft fit right in, researchers at MIT are developing a system that will let drones recognize and follow gestures from the flight crew.

Now Asimo not only can find us no matter where we hide and hunt us down over even the roughest of terrain, but it also can't be turned off. Thanks…
