I saw The Price is Right the past Wednesday morning. And if you haven't seen that one, you'll never guess one of the prizes that were up for bid. Or... maybe you will.
It was a robot! A tele-presence robot. How cool is that?!
Jonathan from Let's Make a Deal appeared on the robot's monitor to describe the product.
You know, I thought one of these days a robot would be a possible prize on The Price is Right. First, for 2016 it may be another tele-presence robot or maybe a robot vacuum cleaner from iRobot. Next year, it could be a Meccanoid kit, or from Aldebaran Robotics, NAO or Pepper.
Offering a product as a prize is certainly a good way to market it. Good for robotics businesses too, in this case.
Who knows? Maybe in 2017, robots may become an occasional prize on The Price is Right or Let's Make a Deal. This Wednesday was just the beginning.
What are your thoughts on this little TV event, dear readers? What would it mean?
