Nirvana Technology's golf caddy robot

The western world already had a robotic golf trainer
(right), but the Japanese totally had to go and one up us at our own
game, apparently: a firm called Nirvana Technology
(who also developed a tai chi-performing robot) has supposedly developed a robo-caddy, which cruises around the course with you automatically and can even hit the ball towards the green (on an apparently limited basis). The first gen doesn't particularly sound so fab, but we're fairly sure Nirvana Technology won't rest until they've got a machine that purposefully hits balls into sand-traps just to t-off other players and makes putting balls in with that Tiger-Woods-stopping-ball trick totally old hat.
