Bacarobo 2008 — Japan’s Stupid Robot Championship
Today’s Robots.net features “Japan’s Stupidest Robot”—the University of Tokyo’s YKRN robot that won the Bacarobo 2008 competition (baka = stupid, robo = robot). The championship has Three Stupid Robot Principles:
1. The Stupid Robot must be mechanical.
2. The Stupid Robot shall not be useful—it should be worthless as possible and not have any useful function for society.
3. The Stupid Robot shall make people laugh.
