Gizmo Peek - May 2007

ROGUN the Robot Babysitter

May 21st 2007 11:27
Rogun Robot
Robots here and robots everywhere. Soon it'll be like Planet of the Apes, but instead of apes there will be robots.

This new one is called Rogun, and is supposed to guard kids. How you guard kids? By giving them endless hours of video to watch of course! But that's not all, the parents can connect to the internet and look at the kids through the robot's camera eyes at any time. Unless the robot is confused and keep thinking the cat is the young one (now that I think of it, maybe it can guard pets as well).


Anyway, I'm always excited when I think how kids will be raised by robots in the near future. Gives mankind hope.

The cost right now is $100,000, but the KornTech CEO Lee Dong-hwan predicts the price will drop to $5,000 once mass production is on.
