Ha, well I was initially gonna come out with 'they'll invent anything these days', and question who would want a towel folded for them.

Perhaps it is quite an achievement, and could prove to be something of a turning point in the world of robotics - but then who knows?

Terminatorsmights be just around the corner.

The yanks can make that robot and send men into space, yet they still can't make a decent motorcycle - fascinating

Fascinating! I was expecting something else though, more like how to fold a towel into daft shapes.

Noel Sharkey, the guy they bring in to talk about robotics, was my tutor for artificial intelligence at Uni
