Camera weilding robot

It’s not what you’d immediately envisage, but…

It’s a little robot that sits there doing it’s facial-recognition thing, combined with it’s rule-off-thirds thing, happily taking photographs of whoever happens to be around.

I think this is a really neat idea – not for parties, but for absorbing local colour – for sitting at an outdoor table in a square on holiday somewhere, and letting the robot unobtrusively take photographs of the most interesting things it can find… which are almost always the people milling about, but pointing and clicking at them is a bit intrusive.
