Free-roaming robot characters at Disneyland

This article, Free-roaming robot characters at Disneyland, powered by nightmare fuel (Tomorrow Daily 189), originally appeared on CNET.com.

It's our last show of the week, and it's chock-full of crazy stories. Disney Research is working on robots that look like their famous characters, and would roam through their theme parks. We're sure that's a great plan that definitely won't terrify any children, guys. Totally. Fool. Proof.

It's probably cheaper in the long term than paying people to dress in big headed suits.  :autism:

There were roaming robots at HK Disneyland 5 years ago. Not 2 legged humanoid robots though.
