Biped Robots Science Fact!
The Straits Times has an article about the next Sony robot, the SDR-4x; Sony Making Two-legged Robotic Playmate. Funky features include standing on one leg, getting up off the floor, and running on batteries -- pretty much all you'd expect from an average monkey... The Washington Post has a lengthy story about the Honda contraption; Asimo: Honda's New Compact Comes in Peace. A variety of topics are discussed, including the poeple's reaction to such bipeds and the future they hold. In Democrat and Chronicle, there's a report of the AAAI robot competition, where the contestants have to serve hors d'oeuvres and answer questions -- UR Serves Up Winning Robot Host. Things could get nasty if the competitive spirit keeps up; beyond just jamming sonars, a surreptitious push here and there could make sure you have the best waiter robot present! |
