The Future and Robots and Drones, Oh-My!

While this post doesn't relate directly to what I want to build in the class, I have found a lot of inspiration in these  videos about the future, robots and drones...

First, is an article looking at the predicted future of 2050. As all predictions go, some of these things will most likely come to pass (automated driving systems for sure), and others will not... (the segue thing has been kind of a bust). With the rise of drone technology, I think the advent of flying cars may indeed actually come to pass in my lifetime.


While on the topic of drones, here are a few videos that I have been looking at demonstrating their possibilities.





Both videos show drones flying in groups and following unbelievable commands. The third video shows a drone flying around with a glass of wine on it... this made me think of a future with rooms or bars that contain drone tables that follow you around.

Now from Drones to robots... lots of varieties here.

Robots to do things, such as exploration...

and the humanization of robots. The Zeno, is especially interesting.
