Linux-based Bluetooth Robot 104
foobar2k writes "Sony Ericsson is showcasing their Rob-1 bluetooth controlled robot, which interestingly is running Linux. You can control the robot using your bluetooth enable mobile phone!" It's sort of a phone-controlled camera drone. From the product page: "This limited-edition Bluetooth(TM) camera on wheels really has an eye for things! Use your phone or PC to steer it. Bright lights at the front of ROB-1 lead the way."

Too bad there's not a mod point for porn potential, the shot of their demo panning up and down on the woman gave me the idea that this would be perfect for all manner of perversions. It's like an X10 on wheels.

Since they are on the phone anyhow, they can just talk and control the car driving blue tooth robot at the same time!
If they can just give this robot the brain power of a cockroach, I'll feel safer on the road!

So now ROB-1 can patrol the corridor and look out for your boss while you're in your room trying to break your Tetris high score.
I'm sorry, but this has no useful functions except as an upskirt cam(lets hope not), hallway monitor, or geek-chic-it-runs-linux-and-rolls-on-wheels status symbol.
Wait a sec...
Nevermind, forget everything I just said, this fits the Slashdot demographic just fine.
