Engadget’s Robot of the Year

April 17, 2007 at 9:41 am - Tags: Misc

The guys at Engadget have been conducting a poll among their readers to select the “2006 Robot of the Year“. The initial selection was quite odd, but the results are much more bizarre: “Lego Mindstorms NXT” gets about half of the ballot (on a total of 7,000 votes), while “TMX Tickle Me Elmo”, a puppet that is to robots what Segway is to Formula 1 racing, is second. Manoi, a very cute humanoid robot, which clearly was my favorite, ends last. OK, Mindstorms are cool, but are they that cool?
