“People tend to think astronauts have the courage of a superhero - or maybe the emotional range of a robot. But in order to stay calm in a high-stress, high-stakes situation, all you really need is knowledge. Sure, you might still feel a little nervous or stressed or hyper-alert. But what you won't feel is terrified.” PeopleThinkingNeedsFeelsLittlesStillsMightOrderSituationCourageEmotionalStressCalmNervousRangeStakesTerrifiedRobotsSuperheroAstronautStressedHyperStay Calm Book:An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth Source: An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth
“So robots are good at very simple things like cleaning the floor, like doing a repetitive task. Our robots have a little tiny bit of common sense. Our robots know that if they've got something in their hand and they drop it, it's gone. They shouldn't go and try and put it down.” IfsKnowsTryingLittlesHandsBitsSimpleCommonGoneTasksTinyCommon SenseRobotsCleaningSimple ThingsRepetitive Author:Rodney Brooks
“Most robotic vacuum cleaners don't see their environment, have little suction, and don't clean properly. They are gimmicks. We've been developing a unique 360 vision system that lets our robot see where it is, where it has been, and where it is yet to clean. Vision, combined with our high speed digital motor and cyclone technology, is the key to achieving a high performing robot vacuum - a genuine labor saving device.” LittlesHas BeensVisionTechnologyEnvironmentAchieveKeysUniqueLaborCleanSpeedGenuineSavingDevelopingPerformingDigitalDevicesRobotsMotorVacuumsCleanersRoboticsGimmicksHigh SpeedCyclones Author:James Dyson
