Back in the day calculators was the big part in being automatic then came bigger machines that helped in mass production of products. For the next generation they have to look for the more intricate design of robots. We discussed in class how they have a robot designed by toyota I believe that can play the violin coming out this year.
I did more research on that and they have robots that do more than just play instruments. they have quite a few. They have about five or six different kinds. One that does a tradition Japanese dance, another that plays the trumpet and rolls, another that is like a futuristic wheel chair that moves faster, and finall one that is a futuristic wheel chair with Legs.

I still can't believe some of the things that we have come up with today these by far are the best. However, it makes me wonder if I Robot the movie was a look into our future society.

The robots are so cool. Japanese do a good job on robots.
ReplyDeleteScience fiction movies have an uncanny knack for predicting future realities. Let's hope I, Robot; Blade Runner, and Terminator are at least partially wrong.
ReplyDeletewhen it comes to robot I totally feel that movies like I robot and artificial intelligence can really become a reality for the future. The whole robot era has only just begun.
ReplyDeletethe robots that can play music are really interesting. the idea of watching a robot band play is strange. it would help a lot of musicians over come stage frieght. you could use them at first to see how the crowed reacts to your music. the future is unpredictable so who knows what will happen.
ReplyDeleteI thought that too when I was watching I Robot! It is so interesting, but at the same time, it is kind of scary to think that maybe that could happen to us.
