What Are These Robots Doing on the Subway?

We caught some video of these minuscule robots getting off a subway, and we’re intrigued. What are these little dudes doing on the train? Is there some sort of convention in town we should know about? Yet another robot dance party where we didn’t quite make the guest list? Are they heading home after a long day, or getting out for a night on the town? Or have we come so far that robots are now just every day working slobs like you and me, trying to squeeze time for a cup of coffee into their morning commute? We know there’s more than meets the eye here, and we’ll tell you more about it in the coming days. In the meantime, though, check out the video after the jump and let us know what you think!

You can be sure we’ll be bringing you more on this one as it develops. In the meantime, enjoy a slideshow of some of our favorite recent developments in robot technology, as well as a few we’re looking forward to learning more about in the next couple of days.
