snowman the woo robots and what all he does is pretty interesting considering his background!!![]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat myself. Imagine the work it took to make the cart pulling robots. They look professionally made.

although some may think this is strange and some won't beleive it will ever happen it will , its just another evolutionary step in robotics ( not for all but for some . )  down the road this will happen . although the comedian throws alot of jokes in the interveiw the author still yet passes the interveiw .

The design and functioning of robots will not be a problem either now or in the future, the real problem will be creating a power system that will substain them for any length of time. Batteries only function for a limited amount of tie and the more a robot can do the the more power it requires.  Sad but true and all the robots display on this site today are connected to electrical power lines and not bateries.

bill i beleive also what may help more is even if robots have short battery time ( some lithiums are longer ) what may help the most is quick charge batteries that way the robot is not (down ) out of commission very long in between . quick charge systems i think will be as much of a key and self charging where the robot will tell you he needs to recharge unless after a certain time p.m. and hook itsself up to a plug in charger in the house as some robots show they are capable of doing .

We've had a little vaccume cleaner robot past couple years.
He runs around the house and does both rug and hard floors.
Everytime he hits a furniture or wall he'll change direction.
Uses rechargable batteries.

Sandee[:X], go get that will you?


here's a close up


here he's heading toward the chair.


And here he's after me.

You have one of the newer ones. My son bought one of the first models that came out 4 or 5 years ago. The battery will not hold a charge anymoe and the sad news is that a replace battery cose almost ss much as the whold machine did. In the  begining my unit cost $100 to buy and the batteries for it also cost $100 so it just sits in a dark corner gathering dust.
