What's Cooler than a Seal? A ROBOT Seal!

When I think of robots, I don't normally think of seals. But someone else did! That's why on this Futuristic Friday, the spotlight is on the robot seal. What a super-cool invention!

This Real Seal gives his...(I'm sorry I can't help it)...seal of approval to the robot seal.

Apparently a group of scientists got bored with the human model and decided to put their thinking caps on. I imagine their aha-moment went a little something like this:

Scientist 1: "Hmm, human-looking robots are so 2010. We need something fresh."

Scientist 2: "Yeah...something a little less human...and a little more...oceanic."

Scientist 3: "We could do a fish?" 

Scientist 1: "No, no, no. That's not cool enough."

Scientist 2: "What about a crab?"

Scientist 1: "No, no. That's not quite it either." **thinks** "Oh, I know! We could do a seal!"

Scientist 2: "Oh, yeah! And have it play basketball!"

Scientist 3: "Yeah!"

Scientist 1: "Perfect!"

And they all high-five one another.

Or...something like that.

Anyway, to see the robot seal for yourself, click here. 

I think if I could, I'd invent a robot hedgehog, and I'd create a little track for it so I could have a real-life Sonic experience.

So if you could make a robot animal, what would you create, and why?

Have a great weekend, everyone!
