The REAL Wall-E Robot

Visit www.ez-robot.com for more of my robots This is the a robot built by DJ Sures using the EZ-B Robot Controller and the EZ-Builder Robot Control Software. Visit www.ez-robot.com for more information on how to build your own Wall-E The original toy was a U-Command Wall-e that was modified. The tracks are driven by two modified servos. The arms, neck and head are controlled by standard servos. The camera is a 2.4ghz wireless camera. I put this all together with a hot glue gun, a dremel and a lot of inspiration from a great movie. My video does not due this Wall-E robot justice, his personality is far more interactive and humorous in real life. I may make a longer video another day … He is definitely the star of the show!

Are We Destined to Become Robots

Are We Destined to Become Robots

When you go through the drive through at a nearby fast food restaurant do you want a robot to take your order? Wouldn’t you rather talk to a human that greets you like a person? Do we want our children to address us as yes sir and ma’am? Does anybody actually want to date the computer from the original Star Trek series? What about something more than marriage?

Are these things to become our destiny? Will robots have personality someday? There are no answers to this phenomena only a lot more questions. How far is this to go? What will become of the human touch? Do we want robots to ask us how our day has went? With robots will anybody ever stand out from the crowd? Will there ever be a Purple Cow with robots?

Will robots be able to Service Customers some day? I did a lot of R and D on robots in the early days and I even attempted to build one now they are everywhere. I work a part time job at a local fast food establishment to get out of the house and I was actually told that if I continued to converse with customers they would have to let me go.

So many people have told me that they didn’t like the robots in all the establishments in todays times. To be honest I did not care much about the job because pay was sub standard, no breaks, always on my feet. I enjoyed being a person though. I pride myself as being the Purple Cow of people, the one who stands out from the rest. I apply this same principal in everything in life. I do not ever wish to become a robot.

I have never seen a computer, much less anything else, that had a personality of any sort except for that which a human person has programmed into them. I have been programmed by life that I have lived can this be put into a robot? do not mean to just ramble on but I am trying to see advantages of the destiny that is becoming of us. Can a robot personality become unique? can a robot have a personality?

I just went to the local WalMart. There was only self checkout available. no one asked me if I had found everything I needed. It only wanted my money then it was goodbye. Now I did see a bagger that had on a funny Top Hat. I bet a robot will never have on of those. At least not intentionally.

In the living room my kids are plating XBox live and are talking about killing a warthog and being mutilated by Banshees. Can a robot ever do this? What about just a computer? Boy, I am just filled with nothing but questions these days. Will robots someday become self aware and recreate better robots?

Why did I write this that is the question everybody should be asking themselves. I just wanted to give everybody something to think about
