What do you build when you have too much time?
#47
The funny thing about robotics and people's perception of robotics is that the two have never really been aligned at all.

Everyone wants a Robot that does the washing, cooks dinner and chops wood, and for the past seventy years Hollywood has been promising just that.

What we get instead is a computerised washing machine, factory produced "ready meals" and processed compressed wood logs.

These things are what real world robotics R and D has come up with. Purpose built single function machines rather than a multipurpose human replacement,

Just as well too, if you think about how ruthlessly business throws away people when a new more efficient machine is invented, imagine what would happen if a true "Hollywood" robot became available. Who would need us?

So please leave Leaf arm and legless Rotfl Rotfl

Best Regards
