Killer Robots

Yes, we continue to train the robots to hunt us, and this time on the social networking sites.

Ibn Sina Robot is joining Facebook, seeks friends

Named for a medical doctor, the Ibn Sina Robot wants to shed his scholarly ways and you know, hang out, make friends, have a bit of fun. The prototype robot is based on a PeopleBot machine from ActivRobots. It features face recognition and language modules that allow it to carry on real-time conversations with its database of friends. The plan is to put the bot on Facebook where according to the BBC it will "foster meaningful realtionships with people.".

At least it kinda looks like UBL, so we won’t trust it right off the bat. But if they make it look like a 15-year old girl the gamer boys will be in trouble.
