Human desire

For many fans, the question of the fonction and the purpose of creating humanoid shape is central in the robotic creation. This poll answers and show us what is the preoccupation of future buyers. Research for A.I will be only developped for human pleasure?

Miss client

My very good friend Thierry Spencer opened a blog dedicated to Miss Client, the companies females characters helping you on the websites. For the first time on the web, it was possible to vote for your favorite girl. Beyond the basic idea of election, one more time the question about the limit between reality and virtuality is still on.My wondering is the same as in my short movie OMBRE, "Does the artificial intelligence using us to grow until it will no need us any more ?"

Marketing confusion

This video is confusing me, what's the fact for the presence of fanta into this demonstration.No need to have the cans, is it because the robotic ingenieers are drinking Fanta? Is Fanta a sponsor of ABB or ... Robots are drinkings Fanta?
The message is at first " We are making the most precise and fast robots" and becoming " Fanta is the drink of the future"

This is the end

One more time, robot is suppose to help people but it seems also less human fonction is good for robot invasion. Will we be lazy, more and more until we could not survive by ourself.The posthuman could begin like that, with a regressive form of life. First step is " Why walking when a robot can do it for you? "

robotic and design

I wanted to confront those two images because there an interesting question about the robot and the design. The reference was from the begining the human shape and recnt research are turning to the zoomorph style. As always the fonction make the design. For this reason human shape will probably be abandoned. The reason is humans are building robots to replace human workers, who were never considered as men but machines. In the first video, robot replace the bride, this reminds us the status of women as house wife, old style. Cooking, cleaning,washing, a perfect robot for macho men. The elegance and the fragility of is far from this fake bride.
In the second video, we have a fascinating movement, reminds us why we stay in front of an aquarium, looking at the fish movement. Looking even at industrial robot is also hypnotic.It's an open design, a fantastic bestiary, directly conected to our imagination.

Motoman robot Okonomiyaki maker

This robot is a showing an interesting point. Okonomiyaki is a moment of pleasure and social relation communication trought selfcooking. Making Okonomiyaki by robot is cutting this relation between two people or a community like familly. Robotization is concerning the world of hard work or human assistance. This one is deprive human of pleasure. The pleasure and food is very well connect in our brain, it is very negative to cut it off. In this case I considere Okonomiyaki robot as a bad robot. How a new and young couple could see if they match if someone is making Okonomiyaki for them?

man-machine

Beyond the performance of flying man, the shape is really nice if you consider it as a single form of life.

Simple life

No need to say more, Lowtech the concept ;-)

HONDA ROBOT ASIMO CONTROL ATR SHIMAZU

My favorite company for robots is Honda for many years. Following their adventure in robotics is like being connect with a powerfull vision of the future. In the same time I don't believe in humanoid form of robot. Controlling a robot with human mind could be also observe from the point of view of the robot. This could be a way for robot to examine the fonctions and the structure of the human brain. Like sports beginners robot is following the exercice. Imagine if the robot was teasing the man, could we understand.

gynoïd

More men will Be confused. Japan has demographic problem for many years, is it serious to make has perfect girlfriend for otaku and other unsocial men' s population.

The end of the wheel

super size cockroach could be faster than a sport car for example and could keep running in different environnements. Legs for robots can also become arms. Wheel was the fondation of the human civilization because we needed to move quickly to communicate. Speed communication today does not need to. In few years the car will be out like many individuals systemes. A global system is under construction, if the wheel disappears, the human civilization could follow.

Trbute to Maywa Denki

Maywa Denki is a japanese company founded by Nobumichi Tosa whose mixing robots and music. As japanese way they work for products even if they have a real artistict vision of their work. It's seems just toys or funny and stupid installations but it's because their vision is light not heavy.
Hope you'll enjoy it.

electric world

Electricity is probably the energy of this century. The problem is : " If we can or not use it naturaly through the solar panels regarding the carbon's pollution". The biggest revolution might be the electric car, no because of the energy itself but the noise. Electric car is suppose to be silent. Can you imagin highways without noise, city quiet as a peacefull landscape. Sometimes I'm listening at the city voice at night. You know the big city is alive when you ear the continius noise of the streets. Electricity could change our perception of our urban environnement.

Sorry for foreigners friends this first novel is in french. If someone feel translating he is welcome.

Two ways to synchronise.

To be synchronise is the first step for primitive society and evolution. I'm just wondering if "Kick the robot " is not a tendancy, remember Big dog.

This modular robot from the University of Pennsylvania that can reassemble itself after being kicked into pieces.

Before posthuman

Before posthuman, there will be a period of cooperation between human and robot. As the 80's for video games we have to say thank you to military developpements. If we considere the necessity of eyes for robots moving in human environnement, camera is the simplest way. Military robots are developing this vision but there's more interesting question " What's the future of making a movie ?" When you can be free of analogic technology. If you could have a digital camera directly on your eye, a drone recording in 3d space . On youtube today people are looking to others through mobile movies recorded, not fictions. Reality is becoming the new fiction, people are recording their life as a fiction. When you record images with the new technologies, no need to have a team, you're the selfshooter. There's also the question "recording for who", a public or the web itself. When I say we are the eyes of robots, I feel like the dog for blind person. We'll need more and more robots to work, to assist for us but will robots need human at last.
