When it comes to Cool Hi-Tech gadgets, I think that nothing can actually beat those cute little robots that help around by doing lots of cool stuff. I mean, what could be more hi-tech than a machine that imitates an actual human being? Let me give you a more accurate example. The PR2 is one of those Cool Hi-Tech gadgets that I was talking to you about because it is a machine that can fold towels. Of course, this little fellow still needs some improvements but it’s actually quite funny looking and useful.



The PR2 is not available for purchase but I think it’s going to have a lot more success in the hotel business rather than people buying it for their home use. I think it’s going to be a little too expensive. Even if it has managed to score 100% in all tests and trials, it still needs some work because the speed is simply terrible.

If we first checked out the robot that can fold towels but it still under testing and improvement phase, how about a robot that is actually out there, in a restaurant in Thailand and it serves the customers just like a regular human writer? With big and round eyes, this robot actually looks kind of cute. It sure seems friendly. I have always seen robots as mean killing machines, but yet again, I watch too many movies. We are not sure in what conditions this robot is designed but since we haven’t heard about anyone else using it, it must have been especially ordered by the owner who, by the way, spent $930.000 to get this restaurant up and running. I also wonder if he also takes your order or does he just deliver it to your table. And how does he know which table to deliver the meal to?



The next and last of our Cool Hi-Tech gadgets is another robot. But this one is a bit different as it does not resemble any human being and it is something that can actually save a lot of lives. The Hoya robot is a very small little gadgets that can go into burning buildings and since it has an integrated camera, it can offer images of what is going on inside. It took 2 years to develop this little robot which is under testing by 50 different fire stations in Korea. The robot is able to show imaged on a 54 yard radius and with the onboard lighting system it can also record images in the dark. It can also check a building for gas, smoke and temperature. Not only that, but it can stand to temperatures that reach even 320 degrees Fahrenheit.  Aside from all these cool features, the robot is also water resistant and it can resist to drops of even 6 feet. On a full charge, it can operate about 30 minutes.  I wonder how many lives is this robot going to save…
