ICYMI: NAO nurses, herding drones and a lotion-pooping seagull

Robots are here for your infirmed, sunburned cattle.

Today on In Case You Missed It: Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center tests a robotic helper for its nursing staff. Researchers from the Australian Centre for Field Robotics at the University of Sydney have developed an autonomous rover that not only hauls supplies out to remote pastures but can even herd cattle back to their pens.

Oh, and there was also that Nivea ad featuring a seagull-shaped UAV which "dispenses" sunscreen onto unsuspecting kids at the beach. As always, please share any interesting tech or science videos you find by using the #ICYMI hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.
