*'''''[[Machine Man]]:''''' "[[Byte of the Binary Bug!]]" part 3

*Feature: Robot Round-Up, featuring comments from [[w:Kenneth Baker, Baron Baker of Dorking|Kenneth Baker]] on the likelihood of robots to clean floors, cut grass, shop in supermarkets, and even perform surgery ("How long, I wonder, before we have the first robot Prime Minister?" asks the feature writer); [[w:Robert Williams (robot fatality)|Bob Williams]]' death by robot; Tomy's [[w:Omnibot|Omnibot]], pictured alongside [http://www.theoldrobots.com/verbot.html Verbot] and [http://www.theoldrobots.com/dingbot.html Dingbot]; [[w:Edward Ihnatowicz|Edward Ihnatowicz]]'s [[w:Senster|Senster]], a robotic sculpture that reacts to movement and noise, paired with an anecdote that it would be found first thing in a morning looking straight down at the gurgling central heating pipes under the floor, before focussing solely on the feet and legs of the girl walking around to open the exhibition; the very vague "company in Long Island, New York [that] designed a completely robotised hamburger bar" that closed after the machinery produced fast food at a quicker rate than the sole human employee could bag it up (the only task the robots could not perform); and a similarly vague "Californian company [that] has now built a robot drinks bar", again with one human barmaid to take orders and serve the robot-prepared drinks
