Guy brushes his cat via Nao robot avatar

Sure, it sounds kinda lame. But… it’s not. It’s *really* not. A telerobotically controlled humanoid robot (I would say “android,” but I’m too afraid of Lucasfilm’s horde of cloned attack lawyers descending upon me) that can walk around and manipulate its environment. Sure, it’s slow, cumbersome and clumsy… but it’s a hell of a step towards “Surrogates.” The fact that it was assembled with video game components is kinda spiffy too.
