Humans tell robot to bite it

Dento-Munch is the kind of moniker I like to hear when referring to robotic naming standards. It's retro, it's descriptive and it's ever so Tim Burton-esque.

Uk instruments developer Vicon have developed The Dento-Munch as one of the most accurate human chomping simulators. With 6 degrees of chomping freedom, it is designed to help us discover just how bad our bite can be on our delicate choppers & dentures. I want one to do all my teeth grinding so I don't have to.

CareBot: Outsourcing your responsibility

It's seems only fitting right now, while you're sandwiched between towers of tinned Aldi peaches waiting for the Swine Flu pandemic to subside, to introduce GeckoSystems' hilarious new addition to the robot family, CareBot.

CareBot is an automated nursemaid designed to follow you incredibly slowly around the house and provide the kind of medical advice you would ordinarily get from your mum. CareBot will nag you to feed kitty, tell you what's on tellie, and deliver surly passive aggressive retorts if you tell him to bugger off. Presumably further generations of CareBot with get judgy on who you bring home and wander off to sulk if you don't buy them flowers on Mothers' Day.
