Robo-Teachers

No apples for these teachers. In South Korea, English-teaching robots are helping some students learn English. The country has a shortage of foreigners teaching English. The robo-teachers are helping solve that problem.

Robo-Guard

EMILY may not look like a lifeguard, but it could save a life. EMILY is a robotic, four-foot-long buoy. This floating device can swim through riptides at up to 24 miles per hour. That is much faster than human lifeguards can swim. EMILY gets its power from a tiny electric pump. B)

Green Machine

Say goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won't pollute. The three-wheeler can travel about 130 miles on a full tank of air.

I have seen Robo-guard in yahoo news. It is very fascinating that a robot can actually (is made for) created to save life in the pool or sea...it is an amazing invention indeed. Korea and Japan are leading in this field.

yeah, these are useful creations, i just wonder about how much they are sold in the market. there will come a time that companies will just get this robots to work for them instead of humans. B)

I'm fascinated with the thought of this. But I can't find the exact artilce your referring to your post.

All my searches resulted with "Green Machine: _______________________________"

that is a bad idea. the more we go to the future, the more the population increase. the more people need job. So if if robots are to be hired instead of humans, then more and more people will have no work.

alice29 · February 5, 2011

yes i'm afraid that's what gonna happen in the future. so people should start working on creating their own robots to sell to different companies or just rent it for a week B)

@pjbabia

I don't think so. I think human must think smart so with technology which is so developing, there will be new jobs in the world. I think human is creative so it won't be replaced by robots.

alice29 · February 20, 2011

i guess robots will just use for complicated jobs, so humans can be protected at all times to avoid or lessen accidents. robots can easily be replaced but not humans. :rolleyes: they don't have souls just wires lol.

neng · February 21, 2011

yes i think they will do that, those jobs that are risky they will be replaced by robots themselves because human life is at stake

Andry · February 21, 2011

@alice

Yes, robot only moved like our program although they had Articial Inteligent, that was made by human so robot can't completely replace human.

alice29 · February 21, 2011

of those three i posted here i think the coolest one is the robo-guards. i can even use it because im not a good swimmer just in case but guess it's too expensive. i hope inventors should focus more on this kind of life-saving robots. :rolleyes:

Andry · February 22, 2011

@alice

Yes, I think that will be so expensive right now so I think we still didn't too much need it. As long as we can do something by ourselves, we didn't need robot :D

neng · February 22, 2011

well we are moving forward so efinitely robots are also updated, here in my country there is already a school for robot making for kids

alice29 · February 22, 2011

yes i'm not wasting my money now for robots because it's still expensive lol. i'd rather spend it on food. but if i really have much cash then i'll get one. you're right andry we should be dependent to these things, but somehow we still need them if we lack of something.

pjbabia · February 22, 2011

we already know that humans made the robot, then robot makes another robot, such as highly technologicalized vehicle or automobiles. but still human created these robot making robot.. very complicated to think about.

yes if we could do a thing then i think you should be doing it for your own good not relying on solely to robots

Andry · February 22, 2011

@pjbabia

I don't agree with you. I think there is no robot which can create another robots. As I knew, robot is created by human to do some actions which can't be done by human or action which didn't like human to do :D

alice29 · February 22, 2011

what is this robot making robots pj? maybe you are referring to a machine creating more robots. is that it? yes that's correct neng there are courses on robotics now. i think that's cool. :smile:

Andry · February 22, 2011

@alice

I think you're right maybe which pjbabia think about is machine which created robot. Yeah off course it could happen but all of them will be controlled by human as the brain of all :)

alice29 · February 23, 2011

let him reply and explain what he said andry lol. yeah human is the greatest creation of God. you can't just imagine how our brain works. it sends signal to every part of the body. cool. robot have chips acted as the brain.
