Man Makes Home-Made Robot Piloting System; Brushes Incredibly Tolerant Cat

So, there’s a robot, and a cat, and a Kinect… this is what the internet likes, right? Taylor Veltrop put this rig together using a Nao robot, a Kinect sensor bar, two Wii remotes, a head-mounted display, and a treadmill; but he still needed a friend to make sure the cat stayed within optimal brushie range.

Sometimes I think the singularity will happen, sometimes I think there’s no reason why computer AI wouldn’t have the same urges to spend lots of time doing stuff like this too.
