We Welcome You, Robotic Pharmacist

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords -- especially when they're the ones dispensing meds. UCSF Medical Center's new robotic pharmacist is a massive drug-dispensing machine that removes the "human-error" variable from the sometimes-tedious task of measuring and packaging doses. According to UCSF, the robotic pharmacist hasn't messed up once in 350,000 dispensations.

All hail the robots! (Do you really want to upset the machine responsible for your simple human life? Didn't think so.)
