  1. 1) I the Link doesn't work.

    2) That people like robots that have human characteristics. meaning, they like that they have skin, sensors like nerves for us.

    3) That they have skin like material. and they have nerves like us almost. Kind of creepy I think but cool at the same time..

  2. 1. The link didnt work for me.

    2. I think it would be cool if it could interact with us and help us out with things in everyday life. But i wouldnt give it a job of too much importance, cause you never know if something might go wrong.

    3. From looking at the last link provided, i kind of thought that robot was creepy. It looked so real that i didnt even notice it was a robot at first.

    3. http://5z8.info/open.exe_xqyp the telenoid robot seems like a good idea, but it seems like a sort of creepy thing to talk to.

  7. 1. The link was broken :)

    2. I think robots could help us with our daily lives like the elderly get dressed and help them with walking. Robots could also help us and be our servants, until they take over the world that is.

    3. I remember I saw asimo in wisconsin. It was cool it could run and walk and even climb up stairs! It was really cool. He could even play soccer! http://asimo.honda.com/

  8. 1:LINKO NO WORKO!!!!!

    2:With the right developers your can create your ideal robot and make it do pretty much anything you tell the robot to do. People have already made robots and they basically do things on command.

    3:Topio the robot!!! http://goo.gl/PXeJ4 Topio is the ping pong playing robot which is totally awesome. Anytime you get bored just take topio outside and play some ping pong!

  10. 2. Robots preform physical functions. I think it would be very cool to have robots with the ability to up hold the law. (insert link to Robocop)
    3. I am a huge fan of Boston Dynamics and their robot Sand Flee is no exception http://youtu.be/6b4ZZQkcNEo

  11. 1) Robots are used to do robotic stuff like shoot lasers and crap.

    2) I would love to have a robot that unties my shoes and puts them neatly in my room. I think that would be super awesome. And the robot taco deplorer is pretty awesome.

    3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiNq4dt97Ug

    http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/engineering/robots/3051166

    Just think about all of the coolness of battling robots against robots or robots against humans. I think that would be really interesting to watch that.

  12. 1. hmmmmm.... I think the link doesn't work... :)

    2. When I think about robots, I think that one of their main functions would be to assume normal human duties. Or, responding to command, kind of like a slave! Some other ideas are making life for us easier, and even the MILITARY! From a website I found, http://goo.gl/4bjH5, and I believe "Point Men" are really interesting.

    3. http://goo.gl/qjhyn I found something called a robotic car and I was amazed because wouldn't that be so cool! Granted, it's not very practical... I found it awesome to think that maybe one day people won't even be driving anymore!

  13. 1. Website is down.

    2. Robots are created with an application in mind. These can be simple novelty like getting a dog robot to act like a dog, or to do a task over and over again. For example, the automotive industry relies on robots to build and weld sections of a automobile over and over again.

    3. The M430IA industrial robot caught my attention. This three armed robot uses optical sensors to complete simple tasks usually delegated to humans. This increases production and acts efficiently. It is above it's class and can use optical sensors to perform its tasks and not just touch sensors.

  14. 2.The uses that robots have are infinite , I mean the list goes on and on. One thing that I think would be amazing if we could accomplish is the use of "nanobots" in medicine.
    3. I really like the robotic arm. That think would be really cool (and really expensive) to have as an alternative in prosthetics.

  15. 1.) Error 404

    2.) Robots are created to perform at someone else's will. Programed to obey every order given by its creator or its owner.

    3.) I had not like the ping pong playing robot. What is the point of having such amazing technology if it is going to wasted for such stupid crap?

  16. 1) I like how the robots are able to be move stuff around and do the robot dance. Looks like its hard to do.

    2) A robot like these would probably be able to make me some sandwiches with my future wife. Besides that, they might also be able to teach me the robot dance.

    3) I really enjoyed watching the human looking robot that some oriental guy was fooling with.

  17. 1. THE LINK DON'T WORK FOR @#$%.

    2. On the pic I saw a humanoid robot. I could use one as a servant and give me arizona ice tea whenever I want.

    3. The asian robot was really creepy! Skin with nerves? This is like the next step to giving robots free will, thats when they take over the world.

  19. 1. asdfghjkl;

    2. Robots can be used/programed to do the everyday job of a human.

    3. There are three main areas that NASA's team of researchers will develop. One is called 'collaborative control,' during which the human being and the robot will speak to one another and work as partners. Another area that NASA Ames researchers will develop is to build robots that have reasoning mechanisms that work similarly to human reasoning. And third, the researchers will conduct field tests of people and robots working together.

    2. Robots can perform the tedious everyday tasks that no one likes to do. Cleaning, cooking, yard work, ect.
    3. http://goo.gl/RZFRG This is a ping pong playing robot which shows the ability of coordination. If theses robots can move and coordinate themselves, it will lead to and almost human capable robot.
