Meet Karakuri. Creepy looking isn't she? She's a robot Tea Server, apparently based on a design that's almost four centuries old. According to the blurb, the robot doll "approaches surprised [for which read "freaked out"] guests with a full teacup on a tray; it stops walking when the teacup is taken, waits quietly, bows, then slowly turns around, smoothly scooting away with the empty teacup on its tray." Send her to the doorstep with the sweeties on Hallowe'en and she'll scare the bejaysus out of the kiddies. Yay for her!
The little robot will set you back $169.95 ready made and $89.95 if you fancy having a go at putting her together yourself.
