A Robot Too Scary To Show Kids?
Well, it’s true. “Mo” the robot gets no love. Apparently his “Terminator” good looks don’t rub off on everyone well…
Behold Morgui. The robot was built by Kevin Warwick, a well-known UK roboticist at the University of Reading, as a “rapid reaction” bot — it has sensors in its eyes that let it track where people are in the room and stare at them. Apparently this has so totally freaked out observers that Reading’s ethics committee told Warwick he couldn’t show it to minors, or use them in any experiments involving Morgui.
