World's First Robotic Servants

If, however, you're ready to stop shopping for that Hyundai Elantra and want to automate (and lighten the mood in) your home, MobileRobots is accepting orders for holiday delivery up until Nov 8 (after that you pay a rush fee).

They can navigate your home on their own, follow you around, avoid obstacles, be operated via remote control and over the Internet, and charge themselves.

The fake eyes that someone glued on the fridge door only add to the hilarity.

For about the price of a new car, you can get in on what one company hopes will be the next holiday buying craze: Robotic Servants.

I could almost take the company seriously if it wasn't for "Brewskibot", one of three chuckle-worthy bots being introduced today.

According to the release, "BrewskiBot brings up to 2 six-packs in its mobile frig.

MobileRobots, which in its dozen-year history has sold thousands of mobile surveillance bots to factories and businesses, is now trying to repurpose its Patrolbot as a home assistant.

It's really one of MobileRobots' rather homely Patrolbots with a miniature Koolatron fridge stacked on top of it.

It's not that these robots aren't smart.
