A University of Tokyo and Technische Universität München robot named PR2 was recently upgraded with a new semantic search capability. When it was asked to fetch a sandwich, the robot went to the fridge to look for one, could not find one, so it took the elevator down, went to Subway next door, ordered a sandwich, and brought it back. That is pretty cool.
On another note, rather than preparing for the zombie apocalypse, maybe I should switch to a robot apocalypse instead. It will be only a matter of time before they rise up.
