Another Robot Plus a Toddler

A boy and his robot

Here is another robot that was at the Boston Museum of Science.  I was cringing a little bit while I watched this because what this video does not show is that the robot was being controlled by other kids.  Unfortunately, I do not remember its name but I believe it was for bomb disposal. The toddler really had a fun time watching it pick up the bottle of water.

Here Have a Robot

Aldebaran Robotic's Nao at Boston Museum of Science

This is Aldebaran Robotic’s Nao.  This cute little fellow was at the Boston Science Museum and I managed to get a video of him moving about.  I was quite impressed at how well it moved.  If you listen carefully you can overhear someone asking what positions the robot could stand up from.  Unfortunately, due to the large amount of noise you can not hear the robot saying hello and singing.
