panasonic-dish-washing-bot-thumb-525x394-26515.jpg

I guess it only takes one arm to do teh dishes. This prototype robot from Panasonic is mounted on a rail in the back of the stove and sink area.

Thank god – maybe it won’t strangle us either when we use too many dishes.

Graves suggests you do a water-absorption test [...]
