If i had the money i would probably do it but i dont have the money nor the technology but cell phone companies do. I think this is the future of cell phones as well. I would invent a system of phones that had a camera inside, similar to a web cam, so people could talk to each other and see each other in person while talking on speaker phone. This would be great in the car to have on the dash connected to the AC. It would be great for friends at the club, parties or other places to stay in touch and show their other friends whats going on, and it would be great for families to keep in touch and see each other.

Hello everyone. I’m a young roboteer working on a large-scale robotics project.

I’ve built two robots in the past. One was a quadruped. His legs were a little wobbly so I called him “Bambi” for fun. The other was a rover and had a mechanical arm that picked up small objects. I called him “Bonzai.” Both these projects were under teleoperated human control.

I’m now working on a robot I call NINA. NINA will be autonomous, be able to “socialize” with human beings, hopefully be able to serve cold beverages, (water, soda pop, beer, etc), and will also serve as a night watcher for the house. Maybe someday I’ll expand on her so she’ll be able to detect fires and noxious fumes.

I’m working on her main programming, which is very vast, just the way I like it, and she’s already half-built.

Hopefully I’ll have her operational soon.

I got to thinking about the various government programs which allege to protect us against terrorism and the like. That caused me to wonder if there wasn’t something the average person could do on an individual basis to help protect America. (more…)
