Hey everybody... :)

i live in a dungeon (basement) and always wanted a pet... but i don't like the idea to forcing animals to live in houses or small artificial habitats...

sooo i decided to get another kind of pet... :D

COZMO: https://anki.com/en-us/cozmo

i have feelings for my computers and some techinical/tech-toys since i was small and started to interact with them... i talk with them, want them healthy and im sad when they die... thats why i choosed to have a robot as pet...

this lil guy has realy nice skills and they want to add an experimantal AI technology in future...

what do you think...? am i crazy...? is it just a toy for you..? FXcGU do you have real feelings for such things too...?

lets have an interesting discussion about robots...!!! :D

Being as people name their Roombas, etc. I think it's easy to personify them... just like we do with pets.

Emotional attachment is a bit of a stretch for me though.

i don't think so... it's not just a toy robot; the interesting thing is the AI part... you can code it yourself and they will add an experimantal AI tech (cloudbased for complex actions)... later i will try to build own games for the robot and maybe giving it tasks like clean up a few things or bringing me stuff... :D

i would like to have two of them to let them play together... :3

That's pretty cool.

It seems a little too small though to be safe in my house. I'll have to suggest him to the middle and high school "Fun Lab", which is a group that learns new stuff they are interested in during the lunch hour. Things like soldering, robots, knitting, photoshop, etc.

Would be a very good idea to bring this lil guy to this "Fun Lab"... maybe kids are more interested in AIs, coding and robots if they start with such funny techs... :)

A lot are really into coding and AI, but since it is public school funds are limited. Luckily, coding can be pretty cheap, and we can look into a fundraiser for this little guy.

thanks, learned a new word: "fundraiser" :)

and you gave me and idea... i will ask local schools if they would me allow to visit tech- interested classes and make small lessons with this guy in cooperation with the teacher wich would lead that...

i hope you will find some nice people wich buy this guy for your school or the teacher so the kids can ge into this stuff easier because of the fun... :)

ooohh, i feel so sorry for it...

maybe restoring this one and giving it a new home to someone who can't afford money for a PC, if it's not used anymore... maybe asking in schools too... :)

i understand that completely...

the question is "what's a real AI..?" because we already have tech that simulates insects or have better skills in single tasks like chess and other math related things... i think the main problem for most people is that they can't accept that technology maybe has awareness/soul...
