He plugs in like he's drunk
Is this robot porn? Hes violating that socket.
Hey, I bet you have a problem with tab-A into slot-B when you've had a few too many yourself.
He's jacking on!!!
This is Bender's great great x10^40 grandrobot.
thanx for sharing post
I dont know why but when it opened that door it kinda creeped me out=/
Velociraptors vs PR2 door opening competition!
So this is how the world ends...
I sure hope the end will be more exciting than this.
No, future robots will just place their hands on your Touchstone.
The way my electric toothbrush has been charging for 10 years
Hasn't the Roomba charged itself when it needs it for a couple years now?
Romba needs a docking station. This one doesn't.
I don't know about you guys. I do hope they make the on-off switch large enough to be accessed to.
there is no power switch... I guess you will have to convince him to turn off while he is stabbing you with an electrical plug or you could just run away, he goes about his business very slowly then again that might be what the sniper rifle is for in the next design along with a 300hp hemi v8.
lol, try 500hp hemi...
I find that video strangely erotic.
Clever, these robots...getting the meatbags to do their evolution for them. We won't even realize we have created our own robot overlords until it is too late...
//just don't give them a common language
I for one, welcome our new robot overlords!
Very rude overlords who don't close the door after getting their juice. Exactly like our current overlords who doesn't lift the toilet seat after they are done.
robo-slut
Wow.. that photo of the Robot about to "plug in" with that wall seems kinda dirty.
Turn away kids....
I agree, it's practically jerking off to the socket
"Hey laaazor lips, Your mother was a snow blower."
... number 5 is alive!
... why does it keep humping the socket even after its plugged in?
"why does it keep humping the socket even after its plugged in?"
coz like you, it wishes it can penetrate deeper
Ba-dum--TSHH
And for the few of you who need to hear it:

It would be awesome if after all that "plugging" the robot smoked a cigarette at the end.
is that a linksys on his back? Suddenly I'm not so scared...his wifi will crash soon enough :)
Yeah, looks very WAG 160N-like.
Don't worry, if his router fails he'll just open a few doors and pinch yours...
I like how he gentle wiggled it in the socket...what a gentlemen.
But will it work in the EU? Doh, no adapter!!! :-)

One software failure... Three holes in the wall.
am i the only one asking, whats its purpose? other than taking our power
Love the way he (it?) opened Door 6 at 3:02min in the video.
You know what's scary though. When the robot accomplishes something you feel the need to applaud him like he's an actual human learning something. "Hey, good work mate"
