Personal Robots getting closer to reality August 11, 2011

Willow Garage, the maker of the profoundly awesome PR2 customizable robot, is offering a mroe affordable version of its flagship bot. It’s still over $200,000, of course. So it’s not quite a household item just yet. But, hey! That’s down from the $400,000 price tag it first had!
Soon, the robot butler will be here. If you think you don’t want a robot butler, here’s vid of a PR2 making cookies.

A robot to make you cookies. You seriously don’t want that??
