Title: study people with robots?
Post by: Admin on September 29, 2007, 05:34:43 PM
Im sure many of you have seen this robot already . . . but I really like this video . . .

Would anyone be interested in having a 'robot invasion day'? Meaning, everyone takes their robots out into the public, and you record peoples reactions to the robot?

I remember I once had this remote control robot that moves around with claws, and so I RC'd it from far away so no one could see me, just the robot. I remember having it move up to this girl (she watched it curiously) . . . and as soon as it touched her shoe, she screamed! hehe, wish I had that on tape . . .

I think it would be funny for everyone to post their videos together in one post . . .

If anyone has a robot and a video camera that is interested, let me know and we could arrange for a particular day. Might be a good publicity stunt to get more 'normal' people interested in robotics . . .

hehe I loved the video, I hadn't seen it already.

I'm not sure if I'd want my robot unprotected (RC or not) in a public place.
Dogs, small children, dumb children, etc. could inflict damage to my precious robot :(

Even people who don't mean to harm it, could easily break something anyway... You know how curious people want to touch and feel stuff.

Use a robot like this one, in ATTACK mode!

I'm in, if the timing is right. We are working on a hexapod as a school project. And as soon as the body is constructed it would be a blast to RC it among people to see their reactions. Im guessing we wont be finished before Christmas though...
