Five robots from both science fiction and technical reality will enter Carnegie Mellon University's Robot Hall of Fame in Pittsburgh this fall.
The tin-filled hall of fame will add Honda's Asimo bot, Shakey the Robot, Astroboy, C3PO and Robby the Robot.
The panel of robot lovers who selected them included sci-fi legend Arthur C. Clarke, the BBC reported yesterday. The android superstars will officially take their place in the Robot Hall of Fame at a ceremony in October. They will join last year's inductees, the Mars explorer Sojourner, the assembly line Unimate, Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and R2-D2 from Star Wars.
