Nissan's ProPilot self-driving chair brings more to mind than just a novel way to wait in line. If you're having déjà vu,Watch Baddies Vol. 4 Online you might be experiencing flashbacks to Pixar's 2008 dystopian film WALL-E.
The plot follows a waste-management robot tasked with cleaning up Earth nearly 700 years in the future. On a spaceship far away, humans have devolved into helpless creatures ferried around on floating chairs while small armies of service robots attend to their every need.

Though not nearly as cute as the movie's titular hero, the recycling robots at ZenRobotics can sort all kinds of waste. The A.I. sorter plucks recyclable materials from a conveyor belt of assorted trash and deposits them into corresponding piles. The company claims one robot can sort 4,000 pieces of recyclable material per hour.
When WALL-E finally makes its to the Axiom, the enormous spaceship on which humans now live, he's surprised to find a society where robots wait on people in nearly every way. Naturally, this includes food service.
Today, restaurants and hotels around the world have made headlines for turning to gimmicky robotic waiters, a business decision that's offered mixed results. In China, restaurant owners have been forced to let their robotic waitstaff go due to a distinct lack of competence. On the other hand, hotels around the U.S. have adopted robot concierge staffers who successfully deliver items directly to guest rooms.
On the Axiom humans enjoy their meals in liquid form, a concept not so far off from what drives products like Soylent, the beverage that touts itself as an efficient liquid replacement for solid meals. The company launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013 and has since raised more than $22 million in funding to create meal-replacement products.
Of course, though it's made a splash across Silicon Valley, Soylent isn't the first nutritional beverage, nor is the concept a recent one. This piece from The Guardianmakes a convincing argument for why the product is simply a tech-bro version of SlimFast, a beverage that's been on the market since 1977.
...but we never said it'd be pretty. Unlike the Axiom robot salons where hair, makeup and gossip services are top notch, the Beautification Machine isn't quite therewhen it comes to perfect lipstick application. The machine and art installation will paint your lips red and apply black liner, but don't expect it to nail your smoky eye. It sure looks fun though.
