Meet the world's first personal trainer robot - Bandit
Posted: 20/11/2009 at 08:18am by Rich Leigh, founder of Fat Free Fitness
Developed by students at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering, 'Bandit' is a personal trainer with a difference. He/it is a robot that has been designed to instruct people through workout routines using vocal encouragement and articulated arms, aimed to demonstrate the principal behind different exercises.
The fact that he's essentially one robotic, apparently sarcastic (and particularly creepy) version of Chucky minus a mop of ginger hair doesn't help poor Bandit make a good first impression, I'm afraid.
Check this video out and tell me you'd like this little guy taking you through a session... I think the fact that he has lips that look like they're made out of those red pencil sweets 8 year olds regularly overdose on is a reason to be weary!
