This is really cool. A robot analyzing its surroundings and shying away from everything that comes too close may not sound like much, but it's a damn hard trick to pull off. Great to see machine vision and robotics finally coming to the point, where the machines can react to their environment so... animal-like. (or alternatively, Silent Hill-like)
This tech has a million and one uses, but I'm sure someone will eventually make a gadget that looks like a human baby with chocolate smeared around its mouth, and the user is supposed to try and feed it, while it does its best to avoid the spoon. I can already see the pre-Christmas ads in my mind...
I like the cat-avoiding-to-be-petted comparison better. :(
