Design of the times

On last night’s James May’s Big Ideas he took us on a journey through modern day robotics. I’m a big sci-fi fan and often forget that robots aren’t as sophisticated as Data from Star Trek or Jude Law in AI:Artificial Intelligence. Despite my initial disappointment in 21st century robots there was one robot that caught my imagination in the programme, mainly due to how adorable it is, but also because of the slick design and incredible functionality.

I introduce Asimo:

He does occasionally go wrong and I actually find this next clip quite upsetting:

It's just a small Japanese boy in a robot suit, nothing special!

I saw this same this with James May, it was interesting but during my investigations of ASIMO I could help but think how creepy he is and that I have probably watched I Robot one too many times!

He's so cute though, with his little face and innocence. I get really upset when he falls over.
