Now you can have your very own Lost In Space Robot (This name is Robot B9 by the way). For the low low price of 24,500. It comes with a Robot (Duh), Remote and is programmed with all the audio from the TV show. If I was rich, I would so own him.

It amazes me what they can do with a Munny. Check out more pictures here.

Here’s HPR-3 Promet Mark II, a 160cm-tall robot that can probably snap your spine if you don’t get him a beer case every day. The new 149-pound robot from Kawada is liquid-proof.

The future is now… Meatbag.

Coca-Cola has a new promotion in Tokyo featuring a giant robotic Coke machine know as “Vending Machine Red” that is making appearances around town. It has been a big hit with the culturally obsessive Otaku. As part of the campaign, Coke has created a great series of Vending Machine Red commercials, done in the style of a 1960’s Japanese Tokusatsu live-action television show.

Now if it can shoot Coke cans, that would be kickass. You can check out more video here

Japanese toymaker Take-G made these. Pretty cool work.

WowWee’s lovable Robopanda has been making the rounds since CES earlier this year, but it looks like it’s just recently wound up in the hands of the FCC, which could possibly signal a US release sooner rather than later. As you can tell by the mugshot above, it doesn’t appear to be too happy with its unfamiliar surroundings, but it did manage to pass through with flying colors, and has the test reports to prove it. Also up for your perusal is Robopanda’s user manual, which doesn’t appear to have any surprises but will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with it in advance, cause you just know you’re gonna have to get one.

Looks like a Robo Care Bear. They are going to kill us with hugs…

The story behind the Broken Heart Robot is described thusly:

“On his home planet of Xerbix 319, the Broken Heart Robot was one of the rare robots built without a purpose. Sadden by this, he fled Xerbix 319 and traveled the galaxy to seek out his purpose.”

“Along the way, the Broken Heart Robot met many interesting characters on various planets, moons and asteroids, and eventually landed on a small planet known as Earth. Though he has yet to find his purpose, he may just find a few new friends to help him with his quest!”

The Broken Heart Robot is available in standard, glow-in-the-dark, and clear editions. Each box is signed by the creator.

I know Erika is going to love this. You can get it over at My Plastic Heart.

Asahi Robocco Beerbot can stores up to six cans of beer in its belly that also function as a refrigerator. Now the cool part starts here, when you dispense a can of beer, the robot will serve it to you by pouring it into a glass mug.

By far the coolest robot since Twiki from Buck Rogers

As we all know, the human-robot divide can be a tough one to bridge (what with them secretly plotting to destroy us and all) — but there’s a new robot out there that’s willing to tackle the problem, and he’s ready to lend a hand to anyone doing research on the subject (for a price, of course). With a head full of servos, RoboMotio’s Reddy robot can contort its face into a broad range of expressions, including joy, anger, sadness, surprise, and disgust, which the company says makes it ideally suited for various human-robot endeavors. RoboMotio appears to be a bit wary of Reddy getting too “emotional,” however, choosing not to give him legs or any other means of movement, although those willing to take the risk can attach him to “many standard or non-standard mobile robot bases.” Of course, robots can’t make a living on goodwill alone, so RoboMotio’s also talking up Reddy’s potential for various marketing and entertainment applications, which means you could be running into him any day now.

at least he will feel really bad when you get kill in the robot uprising.

Imagine if someone, somewhere managed to find the exact formula for producing the most perfectly awful example of the uncanny valley (say, for a horror movie or something). Now, accept the fact that this organization is the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, and that they managed to produce the most disturbing machine you’ve ever seen, without even realizing it. The 33 kilogram CB2 is literally beyond words in its freakiness, not only in its nailing of the uncanny valley, but in its description. Apparently it emulates “the physical ability of a 1- or 2-year-old toddler, can turn over and stand up with assistance,” has 51 compressed air-powered actuators, and has 200 tactile sensors in its “skin.” It sends so many shivers up our spine to think of the CB2’s lifeless putty coating as “skin” that it’s a wonder we’re even able to continue typing. Seriously, just so that we can stop and move onto something else a little more human (heck, even a motherboard feels homely next to this), go check out the video after the break of the horrifying little thing writhing about on the floor.

This is by far the creepiest looking robot yet. You can check some video here of it in motion.

Kondo KHR-2 HV, the robot that plays soccer, fights with other bots and dances salsa, has got

some new clothes. First up is a shiny polycarbonate carapace that makes him look much more studly and buff than his previous square-headed incarnation. All the pretty little Ho’Bots will be bumping up to him as much as they can, mark my words. His Robocop fabulousness costs $152.There’s also a couple of paper soccer strips for him to wear. They cost $10 each, but you’ll probably have to replace them regularly as his screaming fans will rip ‘em off him after he scores the winning goal in the match. You can see them in the gallery below. Plus, after the jump, a glimpse of what he was like when he was just a squarehead.

It looks a lot like Twiki from Buck Rogers. I want one.

I would love to wear this for the Transformer movie. Nah… Just kidding.

I normally don’t give a damn about robots, but this Domo character is a real card. I mean, look at his eyes—they almost look like real eyeballs. Gnarly!

The eyes aren’t just for show, either: inside are cameras that essentially “see” Domo’s surroundings. This means that he (he?) can do things other than “normal” robot operations, like work on an assembly line or write about gadgets (putting our monkeys out of work. Sorry monkeys). The little guy can even recognize human faces. Frankly, that’s pretty creepy.

Some we will have to bow down to are robot masters.
