@BooBear: That's what I'm saying. This robot dude is way too eager to please. He better not scuff up my Air Jordans or Imma go all Postal, UPS & FedEx on him.

GrillbotThis little steel-brushed robot takes the elbow grease out of cleaning the barbecue. Stick it on the grill, hit the button, and watch Grillbot quickly clean those grill bars, automatically regulating its speed and direction, moving around the grill until the timer is up. You don’t even need to wait for the grill to cool.WinbotThe Winbot sticks to your windows, travels 15cm per second and washes away the dirt and grime completely autonomously. Hit one button, stick it to the window and off it goes.FamibotIf there’s one robot that at least likes to think it does it all, it’s the Famibot. The little tub of electronics will play music, take photos, live stream video and act as a home security camera, all while purifying the air around it and acting as a smoke sensor. It travels around 20cm a second and will last five hours on a single charge.BudgeeBudgee is the ultimate little pack mule that’ll follow you around by tracking your Bluetooth phone and carry all your shopping, laundry or gear. You can change the colour of its eyes, how far behind it lags and directly control it via a phone or tablet. Budgee will be on Kickstarter in the near future for $1,299 a pop.EvaAnyone can take charge of the bot and command it either directly, or through a pre-programmed route to anywhere with Wi-Fi, and chat at eye-level with friend, colleagues and even the boss.Survey RunnerOne of the robots designed for and involved in the nuclear clean-up operation in Fukushima, Japan, the Survey Runner can climb stairs at up to a 45-degree angle. Its camera can map the inside of dangerous places, aiding in rescue and other operations within dangerous places like the inside of a nuclear reactor.FURo-SPossibly the creepiest robot at CES this year, the FURo-S is a service robot with a simulated human face for a head. Carrying a screen, the robot is designed with advertising or shopping in mind, and reacts to people through its facial, gesture and voice recognition all with an emoting face.Vex IQThe robot-building kit that fits together a bit like lego, incorporating sensors, motors, programmable brain and remote control, Vex IQ is aimed at teaching kids how to programme and build robots. There’s even a global challenge that operates a bit like Robot Wars, except participants have to build a robot to complete a challenge, rather than fight to the death.MiPA collaboration with University College San Diego, the MiP robot is a self-balancing robot that looks like it is running around on a tiny Segway. The robot can be controlled via a Bluetooth smartphone and is designed to be hacked and built upon with an open software driving the mini dancing robot. 4951

LifeBotIt kills you, then it takes over your life.  When your boss asks it a question, it replies "Do you want to be next?" 4951

Maybe the old Saturday Night Live skit wasn't too far off when it aired one selling robot insurance. That would definitely cover scuffs to Air Jordan's or medical bills when it runs you over from behind. You know they warned us all about robot attacks and with these things roaming around, SNL just might have been on the mark, just a couple of decades behind. Emoticon 4951
