Evolution Robotics New Robotics Company from Idealab
Evolution Robotics Idealab have launched a new company, Evolution Robotics, that is specialising in the production of robotic harnesses for Windows laptops, giving them the ability to see and move. The result is one of the weirdest looking robot designs I've ever seen! Quite what you might do with them at the moment is a little beyond me -- what would you do with a laptop that can move about on its own? In an interview with Wired, Bill Gross, the man behind Idealab, when asked for his prediction of the future of the robotics industry replied "Up until now, robotics has been more of a fringe thing and a manufacturing thing. But 20 years from now, robots are going to be both pervasive and invisible, embedded in so many different places. It won't be the C3P0 that we envision, but it'll be some type of robotic device." Let's hope he's right. | Rob Saunders 47 posts. Friday 26 July, 06:01 Reply
