Apple’s latest robotics research has an apparent Pixar homage. Apple’s new consumer robotics research paper, argues expressive movements are key to optimizing human-robot interaction. For its study, Apple used a lamp as a ‘non-anthropomorphic’ example — referencing the logo of Pixar, the animation studio co-founded by Steve Jobs.

Replace that lamps shade with a translucent rubber and add a flexible plastic ribbjng that is connected to 2 z shaped fingers inside to give it the ability to smile. Then give it the ability to change colors based off emotions. You’ll then have the coolest scariest robot.

It’s a good design. I like it. I just thought I’d throw that out there in case they didn’t think about it. But im actually working on getting a cool work shop suitable for doing cool projects like that. But I don’t think there needs to be any competition about who can make the best lamp based robot. That’s just bound to happen naturally. They’re doing a great job so far.

What a great idea too.
Let’s make robots more “expressive” so we can earn more money.
Nothing more “expressive” than corporate profits huh?
Look at our “expressive” robots
Look at them dance and sing for our amusement. Each and every movement, profit sowed in every algorithmic demonstration…
It’s like a billionaire coping with their inhumanity, dreaming for something to take place of what was lost, long before they even knew they had it…

What Little effects this video presents, we must ask ourselves, what future does this bring?
Do we simply mock those who ask if we acknowledge these primitive ai’s into our society?
Or do we just see money.

Where’s the argument there?
Wheres the dictation of money vs real people’s values in a country that claims to be of the people, by the people?
