As part of my ongoing series chronicling the downfall of the human race via cute Japanese robots I present to you a little walking Japanese robot playing soccer (or football if you’re a normal person) that is also being controlled via an iPhone. That’s right. An iPhone.

So not only do you have to worry about little robots destroying your life one day, your iPhone will probably be in on it as well. No doubt putting up Facebook status messages like:

“Little Robot has just pwned Josh’s balls. LOL!”

“I think the Romba has eaten the cat. I CAN HAZ CATZ!”

“I just told the garbage disposal to eat Josh’s fingers. No more touching me with those dirty things! I know where they’ve been!”

Be very afraid.
