I am sure me is not the only robot lover here.

Would you like to share your favorite robot music, video, picture, art, toy, fashion, food, recipe...etc with me? Thanks.

Let's start with Kraftwerk's ----<Die Roboter> Cool

Yeah I've always had a bit of a thing for the artificial. Been trying to find that Korean android, think her name is Ever 1? went to a robot show in COEX but it was mostly industrial stuff.

Here's an entertaining vid tho, some classics. Song is strangely appropriate as well

One money making robot. Not really robot, but one interesting vid on penny stock investing on E*Trade. The robot is the automated part running on your limit order parameters. I'm going for it.

Here is me on my trip to Switzlerland to help launch the new Insight Hybrid in Europe at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. I asked Honda to fit me fuel cells to go farther with a smaller carbon footprint.

I didn't follow all the links, here, but did you guys see the Amazing Dog Robot? It's INSANELY COOL.

Wow...funded by military, so no doubt it'll soon have laser-eyes and a grenade launching pooper, but what can you do?

Thanks, lots of good stuffs.

Blurgalurgalurga, are you sure that is not a huge paralyzed rotob fly?

Robot_teacher, judging from how she walks, I am sure your new girlfriend is pregnant.

kiknkorea, its awesome.

Underwaterbob, that has been one of my new favorite vids, the idea is gold, I saw some black humor there. but it could be made more fantastic......

robot and oldtactics: how are you doing~! Wink

Prideofidaho, you must have made a mistake, that is not robot man, that is robot smurfs. Laughing

Trioxin_Failure, I have seen that b4, it really turns every robot lover on.

mole, I love robots partly because they show no human desires... a sex machine or a killing machine is just too much for me.....evil Twisted Evil

it's full of stars, waht is robot cigar?

What are we all going to do when this technology is perfected enough for humanoid robots to do all our work for us? How will young human adults find jobs? Well, this problem has already surfaced with computers becoming more advanced where you don't need 1000 young accountants or analysts; you only need one to three member senior management team with PC's. Since the mid 1990's many companies don't have employees, they computers automating a stupid and simple process making mega bucks for 1 to 3 business partners. Forget entry level jobs. In effect, faster computers and more complext software acts as virtual robots to do many functions that used to require many 20 something year old people to manually enter. Times have changed a lot since the early 1990's and they'll be greatly changed in 10 years from now when the physical robots start working for us.

A robot is simply an automated machine or only software, that can do perform a function replacing the need for human efforts and services.

Ugggh! Everyone's going to hate me for being a robot. Embarassed

Robots as a workforce replacement won't really be feasible until they're cheaper than third world laborers. Confused

Just in case... I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
