Snackbot!

In May of 2008 CMU professors Sara Kiesler, Jodi Forlizzi and Paul Rybski were awarded $500k in Microsoft Human-Robot Interaction funding to develop a robot that would sell snacks, be social, and travel two dormitories at the university. The latest prototype of this hard work has surfaced. (Thx Hizook)
