    I can't help but think of that crappy TV movie "Not Quite Human" where the robot has to find an outlet for his lady robot friend before she dies...

    At least now our future robotic overlords can just plug into the grid instead of grinding up our bones and proteins to power their people killing machinery.

    This could make for some awkward moments if you're wearing on of those battery powered compass belts.

    It seems we have programmed robots to do what no man can; fill three holes at once.

    Well, that's it. If any doubt remained as to who would emerge victorious in a robot/ninja/pirate battle, this should put it to rest.

    @GizMadone: Correct: Since the pirates and ninjas don't use power sockets, it's pretty clear that the robots are out.

    This is nothing new hospital robots were able to do this long ago along with other types of robots.

    @Die Fledermaus: Actually, this is new. What you're thinking of is auto-docking, like Roomba. Totally different concept.
