Ever since we laid eyes on Rosie the Robot from "The Jetsons," all we've ever wanted is a sassy robot maid to help us around the house. The Patin concept from Flower Robotics in Japan isn't quite a fully functioning android who can dust and make our meals, but the robot does feature a swappable peripheral socket, making its potential pretty vast (not to mention exciting).
Would you pick up a little robot like this one, and if you did, what kind of accessory would you want for it? Khail would probably want a Patin with an optional pizza oven attachment, and Ashley would definitely pick one that makes pancakes. Easy.
