Beck Bots

Well, I had decided that for this month, my posts would be exclusively reserved for the experiment. The problem is, I have so much other stuff stacking up to post in December! And it's not really fair to you guys to make you wait. So, for the last week, I am going to include some other items I thought you might find interesting.

Item #1: I don't know if you have seen Beck's new video (which I wanted to put on here, but could not because it does not adhere to my standards), but in lieu of dancers, he uses four prototype robots from Sony. Well, I am bit of a robot freak! I LOVE them! And these four blew me away. I figured for sure that they were on remote and were actually filmed in small pieces, but I was wrong! Anyway, I was THRILLED when I ran across this video of the robots doing a dry run of their choreography. Check it out by clicking the link at the top of this post. I think you will be impressed. The programming that went into this would have to be insane and the joint articulation is AMAZING! Enjoy!

  • Be my guest! I am here to enlighten. And yes, it is a little freaky to see four robots move with more grace than I will ever be able to muster....such is advancement.
