Spoiler alert. It’s April 1. But this is actually happening, just not quite the way SF educational robot startup Wonder Workshop describe it in this wonderful video about their new release – WonderPaw. Wonder Workshop launched their first robots Dot and Dash with a very successful Kickstarter in 2013.

San Diego based cognitive science startup CleverPet have released a ‘games console for pets’. CleverPet won the 2015 Robot Launch startup competition and was in the first Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator program. They are already teaching dogs (and cats) to be gamers. I think coding is getting closer.

Our future could be full of undying, self-repairing robots – here’s how

Could it be that future AI systems will need robotic “bodies” to interact with the world? If so, will nightmarish ideas like the self-repairing, shape-shifting T-1000 robot from the Terminator 2 movie come to fruition? And could a robot be created that could “live” forever?
