Finally, robots with googly eyes

Boston Business Journal reports a local company has come up with robots aimed at further dehumanizing the workforce helping factory workers with repetitive tasks. For some reason, the robot has googly eyes.

Xconomy has a video that basically shows the company's founder (formerly CTO at iRobot) taunting the robot - the video cuts off shortly before, we can only imagine, the robot finally gets tired enough of the guy moving around things the poor robot is trying to grasp with its pincer and rips his nose off.

Klaus: “Did you put googly-eyes on the Roomba?”

Francine: “Yeah. I like to look someone in the eyes when they clean for me. It's a power thing. Gets me off."
