'Robosnail' reveals the wonders of goo

The project carries a twofold purpose: first, to understand how the snail's mode of locomotion works, and secondly, to observe how liquids behave at a very small scale, a field known as microfluidics.

No word yet on how it tastes in a lovely garlic and butter-based sauce.

I think you'll do better getting it to fetch you some wine. Just ask for the grape juice and by the time it returns, the aging process should be complete. 'Course your show will be over by then.

I would love to see Irona from The Jetsons clipping Robosnail about while cleaning the house...."Robosnail! Too slow, too much goo! Now I have to mop up yet again!"

Would you be stressed out, to know that there are robots in the OR?

I would prefer a robot in the OR to a drunk, coke-sniffing egomaniacal surgeon any day. I'm not saying they are ALL like that, just saying it has happened, and not to me, thankfully. I recall a big scandal in the 80s regarding surgeons using coke to settle their nerves...
