iRoboChan Will Mess You Up!
Posted 07/30/2009 at 1:36:55pm | by Danny Estrada

Oh yeah, that is right, more robo-goodies from your friends to the Far East... unless you are on the West Coast... then they would be your friends to the Far West. Either way, we have a top secret video that was retrieved by one of our level 5 Mac|Life reconnaissance agents. In this top secret footage we see RoboChan, a quite harmless looking humanoid robot.

The body itself is fairly basic, constructed from the parts of the Kondo KHR-2HV series, which as been used by humanoid models for years (See examples:Naomi Armitage, Motoko Kusanagi, Data, Marcus Wright etc.), but what has our experts on edge is the use of new hardware powering the electro-cerebral-fusion-cortex, the iPhone 3GS.  

 

As you can see in the video they have RoboChan preforming some basic tasks. Of course our top scientists have deduced the true nature of these so-called "tricks." Here is a breakdown of the "tricks" and what their real purpose is:


1. Alarm clock = S.M.U.R.F.D (Self-Mobile Unit Rejuvenate For Destruction).
2. Dance = Fully trained in every martial art.
3. Interaction = Fully automated human interactions (no awkward robot moments...Data we are looking in your direction).
4. Teach & Playback = Able to fully copy and imitate any target, good for covert missions.
5. Holding Spring Onion = Able to cook seven course meals, also fully trained as a fencer, all while using a spring onion.
 
We know that in the video the tech may look a bit primitive, but were are fully aware of the hidden capabilities of these units. We are keeping an eye out for the God Father, Tamakin; the Planner, Ogutti; and the Electrical Hacker, Gantaku. If these agents are spotted, you are instructed to make an official Mac|Life StrikeForce arrest, and bring the operatives into our base. Once here, they can begin constructing an army of Mac|Life humanoids to replace our interns.
