A Robotic Begger
DONA is a robot that interactively solicits donations from passers-by. How? It engages people in a pet-like interaction. People rarely respond to adult humans in need but babies and animals? It’s very hard for us to resist. A wonderful exercise in behavioral science, sociology and robotics. Hit the jump for the video. I want one of these soliciting donations for my own personal project. It has to do with clothing and pandas. Any takers?

I want one so I can get an iPAD, but I think the robot might cost a little more:)

Are all jobs destined to be replaced by robots?
Min Su Kim says
Hopefully not. I think the things replacing current jobs are machines, not a robot. The definitions are not clear enough for both though…

Back when we believed in building things, robotic innovations involving making cars. Now robots mooch, reflecting modern values. Just ridiculous.

What happens when you kick it over and steal its cup?

Almost good. But, I reckon ' A Robotic Begger ' is not the proper modifier.
but no big deal, Good job dude!
