Over at Wired Gamelife, here’s a nifty video of the ever popular Kuka industrial robots, who seem to be moving more and more into entertainment (you may remember them from a Jon Bon Jovi concert or perhaps from Wired’s NextFest).

The robot is making a light sculpture in real time for the
Xbox Game Halo Reach. Players log in to Facebook and get to plot one tiny speck of light in the location of their choice.

It is a nifty little project that the kids can squeal about, but I can’t help but think it’s really just a massive plot to direct the correct coordinates for total earth destruction by the alien forces watching us from behind Pluto. I would categorically refuse to participate in the destruction of human kind at the hands of faceless superfuture beings, but IT’S SO SHINY! Also, giant robot arm! YES!
