I have just seen a programme about Asimo's.
The nearest human robot I have seen before
found this clip
Although I find them fascinating I also find it rather scary, they are saying they could be for sale as early as 2020.
They have even cloned a robot with real hair.
Do you think having human robots are exciting for the future?
I have mixed feeling about such things?
It is thought in time we will all have our own human robot.
If you had one, what do you think would be the benefits?
I would like one to do my ironing and housework.
But are we risking them doing our jobs, thus replacing us in the work place?

Would you like a human robot?
We all laughed at the geeks and the sci fi nuts - but they are the dreamers (and Scientists; Engineers; Physicists in real life) of ideas that eventually become reality.......because of our fascination with robots and other 'toys' which drive the commercial and industrial markets they will become a real and possibly terrifying reality - I Robot was based on Little Lost Robot by Isaac Asimov a short story in a collection under the film title - Read his stuff - it may seem silly but is frightening and was concieved many years before it was possible.....
Enough boring geek stuff - sorry - i'm an Engineer lol

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: a little further into the future:
I have been reading a little science fiction... all good stuff.
there was/is/will be a technologie developed to enhance the thought porcesses and physical abilities of the human.
A form of nano-technology.
Thoughts and 'computing capacity' will be sped-up to such a degree that verbal comunication will/may be dispenced with in favour of a short-range level of broadcast - mind reading effectively.
and similar technologies will also present to the viewer a chosen 'perception' of self... becoming surrounded by a 'visable' storm of icons and decorative wassnames to such an extent that our own character can and will be completely shielded and edited before the wider community has a chance to view or decide for themselves.. hmmm
The computing power of the individual will generate such heat in the cranium that there would be a 'fin' or design of 'radiator' required to disipate the extra heat, preventing the boiling of the original organic matter.
For most of this to actually work, the environment in which the new-person would have to exist will be mainly electronic in itsself... or at least an environment simpathetic to processes used.
The same nano-technologies would also be physically employed in this external environment, fully malliable by the thoughts of the person within it.
Think :chair: and one forms from walls/floor.
etc
I'm not really following the thread here am I?
I guess Im saying that it could well be posible that we eventually 'robotise' ourselves!
anyhow... do you think these robots might be abused?
might they not eventually think forthemselves and demand a 'rights'?

Well - the nanotechnology - eg The Borg - is a scary prospect
Robot rights - Cylons;
Enhanced Brains - Johnnny Mnemonic; E E Smith Lensmen etc
Scary isn't it - we seem to be the helmsmen of our own destiny, but who is the master?
Blimey that was deep!
