Yet Another Bad Idea Out Of South East Asia

China unveiled a sword-fighting humanoid robot this week. Why, is anyone's guess.

Turning that vacuuming robot into a lawnmower seemed like an extraordinarily bad idea roughly the equivalent of giving a chimp a handgun, so this thing is just plain asking for it.

Yes, yes. I know that advanced robotics like this can be applied to other fields, but that's no reason to arm the damn thing.

What are they thinking?
