So a simple remote controlled vehicle carrying a flotation device is called a robot? Damn, that means I've been building "robots" for 30 years. Remote controlled boats, planes and even duck decoys. It's a neat idea but not exactly a robot. Are drones also robots?
Yea, the oversell is a bit silly. Wonder how many thousands in 'public donations' one of these swallows up.
PS - allegedly from a rc hobby thread its $10 000 per unit. something to do with costing in the certifications on top of an old 2010 manufacture $3500 cost estimate.
"Journalists" are not exactly the brightest most of the time.. Anything that has a motor is basically a robot.
