High-Throughput…Blogging?

Robo-Blogging

The future of blogging...humans not included

I was taking a look at Engadget earlier today and happened upon this post. That tiny little robot featured next to the laptop is not just a trendy desk accessory, but a full time blogging machine. The NetTansorWeb is Wi-Fi enabled, contains a small camera in its head with which to scout the human race’s weaknesses take pictures of its surroundings and post to a blog with short comments!

At my previous job my department worked with high-throughput machines in a variety of experiments, speeding up compound screening and assay development. Now if only someone could transfer some of the “smarts” the NetTansorWeb seems to have to my qPCR machine. I certainly wouldn’t mind some short comments along with my results. Until then I look forward to seeing what these robots will be blogging about… maybe we can add one to the payroll.
