HAL the Camel Jockey

Email This Entry

Posted by Nick

According to this report, they are now using robots as camel jockeys in Qatar.

Score one for the human rights brigades. They've been raising hackles that Arabs strab four year old kids to camels to 'jockey' them. It's cruel and dangerous and I'm happy to see the practice end. I wonder: will the kids be controlling the robots with remote control joysticks?
