We Used a Robotic as a Test Subject (Again)

It's a little-known fact that in the early days of robotics development, scientists used an actual human being as a test subject, but that's a topic for another time.

Our robot, "Robby" (Robby-3000 Model: "Slightly-Average"), was subjected to various tests, including:

• Extreme ironing
• Unlimited rounds of '80s pop music
• Torture by an endless loop of elevator music
• Unsolved Sudoku puzzles

Robby's results are currently being reviewed by the Robotic Ethics Committee, and we'll keep you posted on any updates.
