Rise of the Humanoids Robodex 2002
Rise of the Humanoids PC World has a feature on an upcoming exhibition named Robodex, where Humanoid Robots Strut Their Stuff. It discusses the use of humanoids for much more than entertainment, and how the field has progressed rapidly. The Daily Yomiuri is also featuring Robodex, in their article entitled "We, Robots". It lists the robots that can be found there, and details some of their features. Allusions to the holy-grail of robots is made, and expected by 2040... so sit tight, it may be a while! ZDNet has a bit more detail about the HRP-2P in particular, as the Humanoid Robot Goes to Work on Linux. | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Wednesday 27 March, 21:11 Reply
Dino-matic That big blue tricerotops robot must be the most surreal thing I've seen recently. I bet if Salvador Dali was still alive he would have one plodding around his studio. - Bob http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1898000/1898342.stm | motters 136 posts.

Dino-Crazy The great thing about this robot is that it doesn't look like one... ok, it doesn't look real, but in a more plastic toy fashion. This is a good thing. 'Dinosaur' Could Protect Homes and Offices | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Thursday 11 April, 07:06 Reply
