Having spent some time on Friday at an exhibition watching a detailed demonstration of the very latest Sony AIBO, and wanting one.......wouldn't one of these Sony QRIOs be cool also. Tokyo Japan, December 18th, 2003 - Sony Corporation today announced the development of dramatically enhanced motion of Sony's humanoid robot, enabling integrated motion control for walking, jumping and running. By applying this technology to QRIO, which is one of Sony's technology platforms, Sony has successfully created the world's first* running humanoid robot. Click on QRIO's Story, then one of the four storys you are given, for a demonstration. |

That is VERY cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have got to get myself one of those, the more I look at the details I want one, heheheheh....... ..if only they were for sale :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think it'd be very affordable. I'd like to know what it's worth, actually. |
||||||||

About a tenner down the pub :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
£50,000 was to be the selling price |
||||||||
|

|
very nice. although its too bad the battery only lasts an hour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does it give blowjobs? if not, it's worth fuckall to me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it gives handjobs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I assume that's a human looking robot (I can't find a Link to those stories you mentioned) but didn't Honda have a robot out like that that could vaccuum and stuff years ago? |
||||||||

You have to wait for the Flash intro to finish then, there are four options, Choose 'QRIO's Story' then you are presented with a further 4 options :) |

jesus christ...that thing would scare the shit out of me....i'd be shit scared in case it murdered me or my family in my sleep or something! call me a wuss, but that little movie frightened the shit out of me....."QRIO wants to make friends....he recognises faces and voices and carries on conversations...!" fuck that....get a girlfriend and have some sex!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i have one, it's not that great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and my QRIO stole my girlfriend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so other than run and jump, does it serve any actual useful PURPOSE? like fetching me beverages? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Having seen the latest AIBO in a 20 minute Sony presentation, I'm well impressed with the technology. Get QRIO a lead, and he could walk AIBO, to exercise him! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps you can teach it to get you beverages... and possibly roll a joint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since no one has mentioned this yet... ...how about buying a couple and letting fight till the death. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahahahhaha - I've seen them dancing in formation though, but that doesnt quite have the same vicious ring to it, does it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that shit is crazy and i really want one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm perfectly capable of doing that myself, thank you very much :) although, it would be nic ... nevermind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
If Sony can get me one to my local store, I'm gonna get me one of those AIBOs this weekend - I've decided! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much do they cost? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll explain later. Basically they will get one in from Sony for me, and it will be in the store next Thursday. BTW..get to school! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Too much!!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah yeah...leaving my comfy home in 10 mins. now.....HOW MUCH?!?!!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Promise you won't shout at me? :$ 1399 bucks. Not all in one go though, an interest free credit deal. I couldn't afford to buy one outright. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"He's an ugly little spud isn't he" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, certainly no oil painting, is that Sony kid! :D Looks quite miserable actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you know theyve already build robot sharks, that can look, act and swim exactly like a real shark...i was amazed when i discovered this, i mean they are taking so long making humanoid robots, it never occured to me they have made perfect robot sharks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holy fuxx0r1ng shite... *imagines what I could do with £1399* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Enjoy class - see yah later! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could buy 116 large bottles of Smirnoff for that, or 58 bottles of that and 58 bottles of Kaluha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And you probably would :P Share it with Emma though! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She works doesn't she? Pfff, get your hands off-a my vodka, fucking woman. What are you buying? A new improved dog? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The new improved dog ERS 7 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Madman :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now that I've had plenty of time to consider it, and have talked about it with friends, I've changed my mind on getting this. Although they are cool, I could buy something more worthwhile for that kind of money. Cute though, eh? :) |
