Hello, my friends,
I'm happy to announce the second half of the practice on November 9.
Title of the practice: Our future lives living with robots
Category of the practice: Discussion
First you will watch a video of “Meet Spot, the robot dog that can run, hop and open doors.” at our online meeting for the second half practice on November 9, which will be conducted online.
That science fiction future where robots can do what people and animals do may be closer than you think. Marc Raibert, founder of Boston Dynamics, is developing advanced robots that can gallop like a cheetah, negotiate 10 inches of snow, walk upright on two legs and even open doors and deliver packages. Join Raibert for a live demo of SpotMini, a nimble robot that maps the space around it, handles objects, climbs stairs -- and could soon be helping you out around the house.
Then I would like you to discuss following items.
1. Have you ever been given any services or assistances by robots?
2. Show your unique proposals for social applications of the robots to make our lives convenient and happier?
3. Do you have any concerns or worries about being with future robots?
I hope you’ll enjoy the practice.
Makoto NISHIMURA
