China to Hold Robot Olympics in 2010

(via @leesean) The Robot Olympics are to be taken place at Harbin with 16 different events where the robots must resemble humans (two arms, two legs, no wheels). Robots now have their own World Cup, an event run by the Federation of International Robot-Soccer Associations (FIRA), the RoboGames which take place in California and Roboexotica which are basically flirty bartender robots. Hm, could the Flight of the Conchords be on to something? Come on sucker, lick my battery.

Baby and Me Wii
I find these kinds of toys/games to be utterly scary. I just don’t like human-like dolls. However, they are popular and very marketable which is why it’s no surprise the Nintendo has jumped on the bandwagon. Arriving on November 10, the doll alerts its guardian to come take care of them through the Wii-mote (which inside the baby) speaker by crying, giggling or burping. Oh the joys of simulated parenthood.
