Science Friday Does Robots

Written by William Cox

Monday, 05 May 2008

The Automaton blog is reporting the NPR featured robots on its weekly "Science Friday" talk show.

Can't find anyone to hang out with? Maybe you should invite a robot into your home. In this segment, Ira and guests talk about developing robots with personalities -- moving on beyond the mechanical arms found in today's factories, to devices that could interact with people on a social level.

According to Automaton,

Guests include Helen Greiner (chair and co-founder of iRobot), Peter McOwen (a computer science professor from Queen Mary, University of London), Dean Kamen (inventor of the iBot, Segway, and founder of FIRST), and Grant Cox (member of FIRST champion team The Thunder Chickens).

I haven't had a chance to listen yet, so let me know what you think.
