 one step closer to Rosie, but it will never make it up my front step  :-(

  Interesting concept though...

OT, but its robots! (Awesome photo on the link)

from: http://www.physorg.com/preview74351551.html

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new type of
mobile robot that balances on a ball instead of legs or wheels.
"Ballbot" is a self-contained, battery-operated, omnidirectional robot
that balances dynamically on a single urethane-coated metal sphere. It
weighs 95 pounds and is the approximate height and width of a person.
Because of its long, thin shape and ability to maneuver in tight
spaces, it has the potential to function better than current robots
can in environments with people.

I guess the security aspect of this would be to wear steel toed boots
when working near this guy.

on its balls, sheesh>
