ROBOT HALL OF FAME

THISS YEAR'S INDUCTEES INTO THE ROBOT HALL OF FAME INCLUDE . . . THE TERMINATOR???

I'll bet you didn't even know there was such a thing as the Robot Hall of Fame. But there is. --And this year, the Robot Hall of Fame inducted five new robots . . . both real and fictional . . . into its exclusive club, including:

#1.) The Da Vinci Surgical System . . . which is a robot that translates a surgeon's movements in order to make surgical procedures . . . such as heart valve replacement . . . as minimally invasive as possible.

#2.) The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.

#3.) The Roomba . . . which is one of those weird little vacuum cleaners.

#4.) The T-800 Terminator from the "Terminator" movies.

#5.) Huey, Dewey and Louie . . . which were a trio of gardening robots in the 1972 sci-fi movie "Silent Running". (New Scientist)
