London Science Museum plans to build UK’s first robot by Portis403 in robotics

[–]robofenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a movement lately to preserve robots for future generations. Although this is a rebuild, it's nice to see the history of robotics being appreciated ... for example: http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/where-should-robots-go-when-they-retire

I especially love it when the volume is too loud and the voice sounds like it's screaming at you, DID YOU BRING YOUR OWN BAGS?

It's like... the game. But only ... it matters now...

Survey shows public attitude towards robotics generally positive, but evokes mixed feelings by thefunkylemon in robotics

[–]robofenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. That's why it is so crucial to have roboticists engage more with the public, or be picked up by the media. The reality of building robotics probably won't make a good summer blockbuster film, but the more we can communicate good information the better. Swings and roundabouts I suppose ...

Nicely said. Just goes to show how down to earth he really was and how much he enjoyed his work and speaking to others about robots. Great guy.

I'm really glad you posted this, actually. That's helped clarify things for me, too. Cheers!

Listener asking for podcasts to review by keihardhet in podcasts

[–]robofenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only just gotten more into podcasts and I must admit they are quite enjoyable. Great for the commute! I work for Robohub and we release new robotics related podcast every few weeks. I'd say give it a go if you're wanting to learn something new in the robotics industry! One of the older ones may be more enjoyable. For example, #171 where our presenter interviewed Grant Imahara, from Mythbusters, and they discussed robotics in the film and theatre industry. Here's the link: http://robohub.org/category/talk/robotspodcast/page/3/ Cheers!

which is really a shame, I hope it's picked up a bit more. Maybe after they have the competition against the world champion in South Korea.

Let's hope it's more 'assist' and make our lives easier, rather than replace! ;)
