I'd feel comfortable having a robot perform surgery. I mean if they can debone a chicken like that then surgery can't be far away.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I agree and theres no human error there, still I would like for a human surgeon to supervise the whole thing", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Well the us military uses an xbox 360 controller to control one of their oed robots, perhaps a surgeon could do the same.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "That would be interesting to watch, with other guinea pigs not me lol", "from": "agent_1" } ]

Kind of like Alexa. The think I built was programmed in basic. This you talk to.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yea, ANki wants a robot in every home, hopefully there is no ulterior motives", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I am sure this thing will collect data while it rolls around the table top.

Scary the information it will collect.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Sounds creepy to be honest, a palm sized robot that can crack jokes", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Should a robot have expressive eyes? I do not want to think of this little thing as feeling. Remember Rosie from the Jetsons. Thats what I want. Smart, dangerous, useful.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yea, Vector sounds creepy to me, nudging people's hands for attention", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Honda's Asimo was pretty strange to watch. It must have been costly. It was pointless as far as I know.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yea, I wouldn't pay 1,000 for an Asimo", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I think it cost far more than that. Anki has a kickstarter to raise funds. Looks like they will make the $500,000 goal. Soon the robots will take over the world.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Maybe that is why Michael Jackson planned to build a 50 foot robot to protect mankind from other mini robots", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Vector will cost $250.
