ROBOT ROUND-UP IV: ROBOTHESPIAN

by Hazed

Real life imitates Fed with our next robot story of the week. If you have visited the Droid Theatre on Venus and heard Burbage give his soliloquy from Hamlet, you will definitely have a sense of d éj à vu as you read this.

Introducing Robothespian. It has LCD eyes that convey emotions and feelings to match what it says, and emotive LED lighting in its body shell, which make it a great communicator. Who knows, before long it might even be able to replace some of the more wooden actors we see on TV at the moment!

And I'm sure Hollywood studios would love to stop paying actors such exhorbitant fees... replacing them with robots might be the solution.
