Robots are taking over.



Those first 10 seconds or so are pretty boring huh? Yeah, until you realize that thing is not human and that is is a robot. The android was made by Geminoid, a research lab located at Aalbord University in Denmark. Their website says that it is the first of its kind outside of Japan.

Geminoid's first android was built in 2005. Imagine what they are whipping up in that lab right now. Six years is a long time. Apparently six years from now, we're going to have Wooly Mammoths roaming the earth again.

Between this robot and the ping pong juggling ones I posted two weeks ago, I think it is time we bring back one of my childhood TV shows, Robot Wars.  Now that's a good idea.

Someone is bound to win the nobel peace prize sometime soon for some ridiculous robot invention. This android is incredibly impressive. The lab is still working to expand its research and improve on the its next project. They released another android in spring of 2010. At this rate, in the near future no one will have jobs and we will all bow to them.
