Social Engineering via Robotic Toddlers
Is there a way to build a robot to help toddlers and pre-schoolers learn proper social behavior without the parents intervention? A robotic friend so to speak; one, which will play with the child and explore colors and shapes. Perhaps build legos? Now before you say I am wacked, let's discuss this. The parents cannot be everywhere all the time. Also the child needs to learn to get along and share with others and be self-sufficient; a robotic partner and friend with a special behavior program. We could call this invention "RoboFriend" which would teach the child in the early years that sharing and being nice pays off and the RoboFriend will grant more social interaction and friendship based on the levels of interaction. Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming capable of such. I would say we are within two to three years for a workable prototype and about five years away from being available on the shelves at Wal-Mart; Made in China of course? Now then after I began this mission to discuss this item with you I did a little Internet Searching and we find MIT is well on its way to delivering a workable prototype of CODE NAME: RoboToddler. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050308134723.htm Now cosmetically the robotic toddler will be a completely interactive friend and much more than any doll you may have had growing up. The final touches will be that of a synthetic skin life like friend. Now before you get completely happy about this, remember this does not alleviate your need for parenting, it just means you know your toddler is not getting in with the wrong crowd. Think on this, the technology is almost here. "Lance Winslow" - If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs

Death by Robot
In the automotive business there is a saying; "parts is parts" in other words any delay is due to parts not getting their in time and the cost is generally higher because of the cost of the parts and not the repair itself. Now then when does a human die and become a machine? In the future humans will get extra parts to stay alive, but when does the human become a machine? And if the machine parts are better, faster and stronger.
Mobile Robot Technology Takes Burden Off First Responders: MobileRobots Inc. Makes Robots that Boldly Step in Where Humans Can’t Always Tread
It has been five years since 9/11 yet terrorist warnings continue to keep Americans in a state of anxious alert. Robotics technology created by MobileRobots Inc of Amherst, NH is helping citizens to feel less threatened by ensuring domestic security; MobileRobots creates robots that boldly step in where humans won’t, or can’t, tread.
MobileRobots’ robotic platforms have widespread applications for homeland security and surveillance. These platforms map spaces, patrol unmanned structures, detect moving objects, take photos, gauge heat (or other hazards), and serve as an automated response system, traveling immediately to a point of intrusion or disturbance.
