TinyVille Dollhouse (2001) by iRobot, Bedford, MA. TinyVille is an interactive dollhouse, inhabited by a virtual family with their own individual personalities (the perfect home for your miniature replica Roomba). The family is represented by sound and lights moving within the house, and they can talk and play games with you. The doors and windows have touch sensors, and the audio comes from specific rooms. It even has a 'tilt' sensor to detect if the house is tipped or shaken. The more you interact with the house, the more you learn about its occupants. The family are initially frightened of you, as to them you manifest as an invisible ghostly presence, but they will eventually come to trust you.

I think Alan Tudyk is an underappreciated actor and I'm rather chuffed he is the lead in a series of his own, Resident Alien. It's a great watch and I'm very much looking forward to Season 3 ❤

I love me a duo where one hates artificial intelligence but then changes their mind due to the innocence and pure-hearted ways of a new AI friend.

Fifty years," I hackneyed, "is a long time."

ChemBot "Jamming Skin Polymorph" (2009) by iRobot, Bedford, MA. The shape-shifting ChemBot moves around using “jamming skin enabled locomotion.” Its silicone skin includes twenty bladders, arranged in a regular icosahedron, filled with air and loosely-packed particles. When the air is sucked out, the decrease in pressure constricts the skin, and the remaining particles solidify in place. Under the ChemBot's skin is an incompressible fluid sac and an actuator to vary its volume. A combination of unjamming selected bladders and inflating the interior sac causes its skin to bulge outwards, making it roll around.

"If covert access to denied or hostile space is required during military operations, the effectiveness of unmanned platforms such as mechanical robots can be limited if the only available points of entry are small openings. The goal of the Chemical Robots (ChemBots) program is to create a new class of soft, flexible, meso-scale mobile objects that can identify and maneuver through openings smaller than their dimensions and perform tasks once entry is gained." – Chemical Robots (ChemBots), Dr. Gill Pratt, DARPA, Defence Sciences Office.

Did anybody else have a childhood crush on Sonny from the 2004 iRobot movie or are you normal?

[cosmosinmycoffee]

I think we as a society collectively did not learn enough from the movie iRobot
