Scientists create climbing frame that looks for children to play with (Video)

We’re well aware that the next generation looks set to live in a robot-dominated future.

But rather than the tough love approach of forcing them to flee charging robot cheetahs or eat passable but probably a bit bland robot-made sandwiches, one group of scientists have an altogether kinder tactic.

The team at the Interactive Architecture Lab have developed a robot climbing frame that uses GPS to find groups of children to play with.

See, it’s not all bad.
