Robots for Daily Life

by admin on July 27, 2010


ANCHOR: Robot designers gathered at Robo_Japan 2008 in Yokohama, Japan to showcase their latest developments. NTD’s Yukichi Negishi brings us there. STORY: Within the last decade, cell phones and computers have become a part of modern life. In the near future, we might see robots not only in assembly lines but just as much a part of our daily life as cell phones, cars, and computers. Tomotaka Takahashi, award winning robot creator, hopes to see robots in our life not just for convenience but also as our friends. [Tomotaka Takahashi, Robot Creator]: Robots are going to be in your home and your family member pretty soon. We tend to think about the practicality or usage robots, but we never think that way (about) your family or your boyfriend or girlfriend. Please treat them as your friend. Current robot designs mostly resemble male qualities like stiff movement and dont have many feminine qualities. Creating feminine robots is one of next steps to making robots a part of our daily life. [Tomotaka Takahashi, Robot Creator]: I think first of all there is no female type robot because there are technical problems. The first one is its harder to put all the parts inside the body. I [have to] use smaller parts and also design. Second one is that most of researcher in the robotics field is male, so we dont know how to realize female type robots. You know, it has nothing to do with wear skirts or having longer hair. Tomotakas mini climbing robot helped the electronics company

nahh….some humans may go fat but there will still be some in the population that wont. Then by the process of natural selection, the strong survive and the weak falter.

CapChronic July 28, 2010 at 4:43 am

yea i guess that makes sense plus everyone wants to look good… so alot of people would still hit the gym…

333redmon July 28, 2010 at 5:24 am

not neecisarily the fault in the humans in walle was the fact that they found a train of thought that made doing nothing a perfectly sound idea. Its within our capabilitys as humans to find a reason to do something. The ability to do something just because you want to is the most powerfull of all. Therefore giving up that ability by living in a fully structured life we are giving up what sets us apart from the billions of other creatures.

If robots took everyones jobs on assemmbly lines and numerous other jobs no one wants to do….. we would end up like the humans in the movie Wall-E

i would love to have something like the little robot that was standing on one leg and looking like it was flying. it wouldnt need to do anything special. just tell the time when asked have a cute voice or mabe go fetch something.

but what would be really cool is if it could link wirelesssly to your gaming console so you could go up against it . i know it would be just like going up against a cpu but still.
just sitting on your couch relaxing playing video games with your ROBOT!!
