Remote-controlled robot can clean your house and fetch your dry cleaning
We’d pay $400 (£258) for this robot slave just to hear the catchy tune on the video again.
Besides the annoyingly memorable music, the Nobot N1H1 can also offer practical assistance around the home, such as cleaning and fetching your objects, according to its Irish developer Jack Thorogood.
‘We combine the robot unit with a marketplace of operators so that every Nobot owner has a humanoid minion on tap, whenever they need one to do their bidding,’ he promised while trying to raise money on indiegogo.com.

If you need an electrician then just ask Nobot, or if your dry cleaning needs fetching then send him.
The technology is not based on artificial intelligence like a few others that hoped to be released.
Thorogood and his partner, who are based in Dublin, decided to go down the route of human controlled androids instead.
‘We have seen enough robot fail videos to know artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t easy,’ he added.
