A girl named Mandy promised this video would reveal the COOLEST ROBOT EVER! We were skeptical but later decided she was right. Sure it won’t shave your balls and get you off, but it will do a silly little dance. And it looks cuddly.

Here’s another spot where robotics author Daniel Wilson, the star (and creator) of both videos, gets smack-talked by an automated phone system named Diane. We think it’s just a cheesy way for him to represent his alma mater and show off his iPhone.

If you find yourself moved by the Carnegie Mellon alumnus’ emotional subservience to robots, check out RoboU. CM’s robotics unit could apparently use some new junkies.
