Robots

Robotics has evolved so much in the last decade. This link landed up in my in-box courtesy someone who knows I am a certified robot-nut.

Check out these robo pics in particular:

#23: What a terrific idea! No more anorexic, unrealistic "models"... these robots are way better!

#25: Gotta admit, creeps me out. Insect-robot hybrids with the head of an insect and body of a robot?!

#28: Honda and Asimo have done it again, w00t! Thought controlled robots? How incredibly awesome is that!

#33: Stunned to see this one! Looks like Eddie is a descendant of Kismet, one of my favorite robots sitting right here in my backyard at MIT. Kismet was Dr. Cynthia Breazeal's PhD thesis at the Media lab.

Kismet's ancestors are showcased @ the MIT museum. Very exciting to see generations of robots evolve.

It would be a dream come true to commercialize one of these robots, combining my twin passions of robots and entrepreneurship.
