Go to Post Well I have to admit, most of the people on our team are geeks. I think that it's a title of honor considering it might as well be "boss" or "head supervisor" or something along those lines. - Cyberguy34000 [more]

Re: Personal Robot Building

the original concepts of a robot, like B9 on lost in space back in the 60s, has been lost in the technolgy race

instead of one robot that can do lots of things in a human-like manner, we now have lots of little robots that do one thing

answering machines
PDAs that act as schedulers and play cards with us
cruise controls on our cars
GPS that tell us where we are and how to get places
cell phones that take messages and communicate with text, or photos
Dish washers, clothes washers, garbage disposals, auto coffee makers
computers that play chess and collect email for us all day

so whats left for a robot to do?

not much really. Deliver mail at school? pick up trays in the cafeteria?

I would like to see a good lawn-mowing robot, which would be cool because it could be slow and take all day, and be really quiet

a robot that walks the dog? Extra points if it comes with an auto pooperscooper :^)
