Leaps and bounds in Robotics


 Sony have made a robot called QRIO, and it can:
  • Run
  • Jump
  • Dance
  • Keep balance
  • Protect itself if it falls
  • Get up again
  • Fight?
  • See with stereo vision
  • Recognise faces and voices.
  • Converse
  • Show emotion

I say fight because "If pushed by someone, QRIO will take a step in the direction it was pushed to keep from falling over." We all know that push and shove can lead to an all out brawl.

Prediction: within 10 years people will be mugged by robots.
