Attack Of The Robots!

Was thinking about this during a recent 60 Minutes segment covering Boston Dynamics' "Atlas", a fully autonomous robot that uses AI.

Much like dinosaurs, I've always been incredibly fascinated by robots and anything mechanical in general. I remember watching this PBS documentary (that I sadly haven't been able to find online) that talked about them and showed off Honda's Asimo, which I've always desperately wanted to own. But sadly they made it more of a company mascot over the years and never intended for it to be mass-produced

Then there's Sony's Aibo! An adorable robo-puppy that had the ability to learn. Unfortunately way out of the price range of a 10 year old (but one can still dream!)

What about you guys? Any favorite mechanical thingamahbobs, real or imaginary?

I really like how much this mechanical industry has improved over the years. From literal dog mimicking robots being used in multiple ways, to making a fully immersed robot for helping humans. One could had only imagined this, yet here we are now. I still want a dinosaurs robot that can be rode on.

As always, I'm just waiting until we get the giant mechs

Giant mechs, first we’re building some for “industrial purposes” and the we’ll be making this

I've also previously talked about my love for Metarot/Medabots. Love the idea of tiny robots, especially ones that can battle each other

One that I also don't see talked about much Cubix, which I thought was a pretty neat Korean anime

Armored Core. It's mecha technically, but still cool none the less

I do like robots. My favourite is Wall-E. So much so that I tried building him. I had a tiny solar-powered robot that looked like him. It only needed a flap on the front and different wheels. Too bad it broke after a while.
I also have one of those brickheads of Wall-E

Why yes, I do love robots. I for one welcome our new robot overlords!
