The EL-E robot you see here was cobbled together by a team of researchers, and it boasts the ability to go after the tiny dot made by your laser pointer, picking up that specific object with his crane. While small objects are preferable, I’m not certain what the algorithm will spew out when you lead it towards a human or a huge piece of furniture like that baby grand piano in your living

room. Well at least it is more obedient than the mutt you own, bringing you the AM paper without leaving teeth marks and saliva all by the headlines. Too add some humor, researchers have enabled the EL-E robot to yell out phrases like “Bob’s your uncle” whenever he completes a task.
