Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I went to college in a small town. Most local establishments closed up long before the nightly urge to snack hit strong and so often, we'd be forced to head for vending machines to satisfy our hunger. The chips and crackers did the trick, but if we wanted a little interaction along with our snack we were simply out of luck. The students at Carnegie-Mellon University are quite familiar with the unconventional dining hours that they and the rest of their cohort keep and so are working to address the situation in a new and unique way. They're creating a Snackbot. The Snackbot will be a social and autonomous robot that will roam the halls of a multiple campus buildings, selling snacks and interacting with students. It is still in development, but project leaders expect that completion of the first fully functional Snackbot should come in 2009.
What do you think of this project? Would you want to buy a late evening snack from an interactive robot?

Hope it's installed with Lo-jack.
