Comments on Fujitsu Teddy Bear Robot Prototype Spotted
It's lovable, it's cuddly, its - robotic. (Read
the complete story)
| "Also reminds me of the teddy bear in the AI movie, I think Speilberg made awhile back." ( 4/5/2010 6:36:20 AM) |
| "Thanks for reminding me. In his 1969 story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long (the basis for Steven Spielberg's A.I.), writer Brian Aldiss imagines Teddy, a perfect robotic companion for a young boy. And a mother.
"Stand there, Teddy. I want to talk to you." She set him down on a tabletop, and he stood as she requested, arms set forward and open in the eternal gesture of embrace.
 (Teddy the robotic companion from A.I.) " |
| "It also looks a lot like the teddy bear robot from the movie "Screamers". I wonder if you can get the Fujitsu model with lots of long metal fangs?" ( 4/13/2010 5:13:09 PM) |
