LittleBigPlanet 3 experiment: It’s like Twitch plays Pokémon but with a robot

Here’s a little something odd to start your week, courtesy of Sony.

The PlayStation 4 creator has hooked up a robot to a DualShock 4 controller, which the machine is using to control LittleBigPlanet 3. Don’t worry, Sony hasn’t created an android smart enough to play a 2D platformer (which is obviously the first step in a human-exterminating revolution). Rather, the robot is submitting inputs sent by observers from this site.
