Where’s Waldo?: Waldo the pill-dispensing robot apparently went berserk
this past week at UCSF Medical Center, sending a doctor and patient running
for cover.
Whacked-out Waldo is one of three battery-operated, rolling robots that
dispense pills at the hospital. The other two are named Elvis and Lisa Marie.
All three are about the size of a large TV and are programmed to roam
from floor to floor, distributing medications to nursing stations.
At the end of their rounds, the robots are supposed to roll into the
basement pharmacy for refills.

they are coming for you! no not you…. YOU! no, the one on the right, yes you. don’t move just cause i said the one on the right either.
