Comments on: Willow Garage TurtleBot advances open source do-it-yourself robotics http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=4503 examining transformative technology Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:23:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Gina http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=4503#comment-1011695 Gina Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:33:13 +0000 http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=4503#comment-1011695 The video shows the TurtleBot serving food. But it looks like the TurtleBot doesn't have arms so there will have to be someone in the kitchen to greet it, make the food and place the food on top before heading out to serve you. I can't wait for more, although it might be a little nerve racking have a bot turn on and off a hot stove.... at least for the moment. I am confident that one day it will safely happen but not just yet. I did enjoy this video, it had a retro homespun feel, partly due to the casual video style but also due to the accompanying muzack : ) GIna "Nanogirl" Miller www.nanogirl.com The video shows the TurtleBot serving food.
