If you ask us, our theory is that the Daleks (http://www.engadget.com/tag/dalek) are rather huggable by nature, but they probably partied a tad too hard with these beer-toting fellas (http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/chassis-the-beer-pouring-robot-gets-paint-job-even-more-lovable/) before trashing the world. One such "Heineken Bot" -- crafted by the geniuses at Middlesex University -- turned up at Kinetica Art Fair in London. Daring humans can stop this drifting bot by hovering their hands above its sonar-sensing head, and then place a cup in its holder for some bevvy spat out of its keg. When you're served, the lonewolf continues to wander along its pre-programmed path, probably waiting for the assassination signal from Skynet. See for yourself after the break while you're still alive. Gallery: Heineken Bot at Kinetica Art Fair 2010 (http://www.engadget.com/photos/heineken-bot-at-kinetica-art-fair-2010/)
