Fuji Heavy Industries AV-T3 autonomous cargo transport robot
It’s a bloody PC on a bench. They’d better not have received millions of dollars of development money for coming up with this piece of rubbish.
Behold – the most superfluous screen yet discovered.
And look at that wheel. You could disable it by putting a yogurt pot on the floor in front of it.

So, that’s what happened to the Telebugs, thought I hadn’t seen them for a while…

I call deliberate face on that Scooby. Plus it gives the impression that it’s only pleasure in life is mowing down humans.
Mitsubishi better design a cargo transport robot pretty quick or the fanboys aren’t going to have anything to argue about. Personnally I’d expect the Mitsubishi robot to have the edge on poor surface off-camber corners, but to be less ‘usable’ day-to-day.

I reckon it will have the sort of low ratio gearing that means not only would it run over the yoghurt pot, it would crawl doggedly and remorselessly over pallets, too-slow employees, kittens etc. All with that dead-eyed smile on it’s blood spattered screen. This is why the Terminator films should be viewed as 100% fact rather than a series of increasingly overblown, expensive and not as good as the last one exercises in dead-horse flogging.

That vehicle behind with ‘MHV”, is that the battery?
