The Robot Calculator is more then your average calculator. For starters, it's shaped like an older looking robot from years ago. Also, it features a magnet which can hold paper clips, has a note holder to keep your reminders safe and visible and has moving hands and feet. The calculator can either stand, lay flat of lay angled by bending it's arm a little. For those who want to work late in to the night there is a detachable push button night light. Of course, among all these extra features there is a calculator built in there too with the keys running across the robot's chest.
The robot calculator comes in three colours being white, blue and lime green. It costs $14.95 currently and they are available over at Physlink.
This chair costs ‚¬15K and puts it's self in control of where you are sitting. It is a robotic walking chair which is built of steel tubes, plastic and is chrome plated. Built by designers Karl Emilio Pircher and Fidel Peugeot it makes for a crazy type of chair for your dining room table. Imagine having dinner with someone annoying and also having the ability to just push a button and have the chair take them away. Cool!

A team over at Carnegie Mellon University are working on a robot that can walk on water. It will work in a similar way that a Basilisk does in that it can dash across water keeping afloat. A prototype is still being worked on although test simulations are showing positive. It makes you wonder if taking a trip from Dover to Calais in the future will be made in a robot which "dashes" across the water rather then on a boat or in the channel tunnel.
