Verbot placed in real Robot

[POWERPLAY07]

Hi guys,

Why hasn't verbot been placed in a real robot by now ?

It's been over 5 years hasn't it ?
Its a new frontier to explore, the govt have been experimenting with all types of robots.

Surely a cheap one could be made ?

Well... what's a real robot? The ones I work with don't talk to humans.

Fussy robots! Who do they talk to.......................?

Re. the verbot in a robot thing, I'm not sure why this would have been done, what the connection with Verbot is, and what robot technology exists that would benefit from this kind of AI?

Fussy robots! ..?

Just a thought provoking jest. The ones I work with do vehicle simulation.
Now, how does the song go? "... in her brand new Chevrolet. All day long she sits and shifts, all day long she sits and shifts ..."
(don't mess up the words!). Anyways, we've got plenty of robots, but not the C3PO kind, yet.

....which is a shame because I could do with a droid to clean my flat.

I wonder if you can install windows+verbot on anything that would fit into one of those irobot dev kits.
