Robots to help out in the kitchen would not happen tomorrow – but, little Vickie of the Small Wonder fame can certainly become a reality.

Then only would it decide on the action to be taken. The robot is christened as the iCub and six models are currently in operation on an experiential basis in six locations of Europe. Each robot is about one meter in height, has two arms, a roundish face with large eyes and a nose. The eyes follow any object that is in motion.

I am not fond of the possibility of robots, there are not enough jobs for people as it is and possibly robots will take even more jobs someday. I think too much technology could end up harming us in the future. That is just my opinion though.
