How would you like this creepy little bastard staring at your ass when you’re performing squats? Or maybe holding your feet while you do crunches ? Or maybe you’ve got to be out of your got-damn mind! Bandit is helping the University of Southern California Center for Robotics and Embedded Systems conduct a study on exercise training. 70 volunteers of all ages (including 20 people aged 60 or older living in retirement homes) will have either Bandit himself or Bandit on video as a trainer, and the researchers will try to figure out if the physical presence of the robot makes a difference. That’s right, they named him Bandit . As in, “Give me all your internal organs!” Listen, you want me to tell you whether a robot’s presence helps you lose weight? It does — and I’ll prove it. SEND IN THE ROOMBA! *Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!* There, I feel four pounds lighter already. Oh, and I’m not cleaning that shit up either. Video of the little jerkbag after the jump.
