Six Legged Grace Rescue and Graduate Conference Bots | |
Six Legged Grace
The Straits Times has an article about search and rescue prototypes: Rescue Comes on Six Long Legs. It looks at nimble legged robots that can locate survivors in a catastrophe. The developers are putting the devise through final trials, before potentially being put to work with the Singaporian authorities. On the same site, there's a story about Grace -- Graduate Robot Attending Conference. In fact, she's All Grace, But She's Just a Robot. The prototype has basic social skills; it can interpret simple gestures and make many expressions with a digital face. Apparently, its female appearance make people feel more comfortable around it... What's that you say? "Geeks"? Yes, no doubt, but talented ones! |
