WTF of the Day: Robot Kills Man

Robots: Man Designs a Robot to Kill Him -- And Succeeds

It begins....

An elderly man in Australia who didn't want to be placed in a home for assisted living built a robot to end his misery. He downloaded the specs for a robot that could point and shoot a gun, built it himself, then took it out to his driveway. There, the robot shot him down and killed him.

This is something right out of I, Robot. I'm almost more freaked out that someone actually designed a robot that could point and shoot a gun for personal, non -military use.
