Human Behavior

Recently, entering a community I had to answer questions file as always. The surprise was the last question:
«R u human ?»
This question was against the robots. The real question is « The war began ?»

Big dog

This robot is maybe one of the most scary creature. I love it because of the shape and the noise completely out of soft design. It's like a nightmare. The interesting fact is the creators did not try to make it similar as a dog, no head, no tail, no stupid nickname.
If you consider robot with out human point of view may be this one is vision of a possible future.

Astro boy

In 1951, Osamu Tezuka created Astro Boy. Few years ago I met Honda's chief engineer of robotic departement who explained me why they created Asimo at first. Mr Honda wanted a friendly robot like Astro Boy in the 70's. In a room there was the manga collection of Astro boy ( mighty Atom ). The engineers had to read it and copy the concept, all were car engineers and became robotic engineers because of the project. I believe many people like me became robot's fans because of it.
The funny thing is when I asked the chief engineer if Asimo was an homage to Asimov, he asked me "Who is Asimov ?"

Coming soon : Astro boy, CG-animated movie, 2009
