Last Year Wired put out there list of 50 Best Robots. I not sure what criteria they used to generate and rank this list, but it’s a sure bet that you will not guess #1
Here are some favorite bots and their rankings.
#19. R2-D2
R2-D2 and C-3PO - the Abbott and Costello of space - may be the most popular robots in history, but it's the littler one that really steals the show.
#04. ROBBY THE ROBOT
Few robots can trace their origins to Shakespeare. Robby, from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, was inspired by Ariel in The Tempest
#03. SPIRIT AND OPPORTUNITY
Some robots sit in labs for researchers to tinker with. These two bots are on frickin' Mars
