Do you remember the truckbot that surfaces from moment to duration and recently got an acrylic body upgrade? Well, that little robot seems to be continuing its slow (but steady) progress towards becoming supreme abundant to take by the world (and perhaps enslave humans), and now it seems that it supports voice control, which takes advantage of Android’s native voice recognition engine, allowing the robot to be controlled via speech commands. To form the deal

sweeter, only a restricted line of cipher was needed to take advantage of the functionality, and the phone will listen for speech and ask you to repeat whether it can’t understand the directions. What next? Laser canons?
