Robots

Alright I only have two to show you today but they are way cool!!!! This first is one made by Toyota. Yeah i didnt know they did cars either, but i guess when your loseing in an industry like that its to time to evolve. Heres a video of the Robot Violinist. It's kind of freaky how agile this thing is. Toyota says that it will be released in 2010 to be used in homes and hospitals!!! (Except it will be able to do more than just play the violin) Awesome!!! I havent been able to find a price yet for this thing but from other info i've gathered on other robots i'm gonna put it in between a range of $40,000-$70,000. Yeah! This isnt gonna be one of those average home appliances that everyone has.

AMAZING!!!! Man i cant wait to see what else these things can do. (BTW i know toyota makes cars too...lol)

So they made a bathroom cleaning robot too! (not toyota someone else) It looks amazing! I'm so getting one...if they change how it looks that is. It looks kind of silly, but at the same time amazing! Say hello to LADYBIRD!

This 39 inch tall, 53 inch wide robot is equipped with heavy duty scrubbing tools, water tanks and brushes. Its got these obstacle detection sensors that allow it to manuver safely around other people while performing its duties! And!!! Thanks to microphones in its antennaes, it can have simple conversations with restroom users. The robot also has access to the latest informtation about traffic conditions on nearby roads, and to get the infor all you need to do is ask!

To conclude this segment. I think robots are very cool. But! after seeing how smooth and human like that violinist robot could move, kind of scarey. I dont want no robot cars like in the Pedestrian to rome the streets any time soon. I think we just need to be careful with how robots are used so they dont take over us. Ok i dont really believe that, but after seeing iRobot you just have to consider the option.

Just remember the 3 important rules and all will be fine:

1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with

the First or Second Law.
