Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has publicly revealed that Russian experts are developing robots designed specifically to minimize casualties in terrorist attacks. Oh, and also to neutralize those terrorists. What could possibly go horribly, horribly, terribly wrong? (via popsci)

Of course Japan has robots that smell your breath. Breathe into the female robot’s face, and if your breath is okay, she’ll say. “A somewhat tart, good smell—no problem.” If it’s not so good, she says things like, “Your breath is kind of stinky” or “This is bad; Unbearable”. (via Kotaku)
