From coffee machines on wheels (a la R2D2) to a skeletal looking “super compliant “robot named Ecce, robots have come a long way.
According to a recent forum at Swissnex San Francisco, even further improvements are close to fruition.
Rolf Pfeifer, director of the Artificial Intelligence Lab at the University of Zurich
detailed the importance of soft robotics in increasing their physical functionality.
He showed the example of an octopus robot constructed of materials that demonstrate a greater understanding of soft materials that take advantage of passive dynamics.
Pascal Kaufmann (University of Zurich and CEO of Starmind) highlighted the example of Cronos, the first humanoid robot in Playboy Ukraine. He also invited the gathering to an upcoming robotics conference in Switzerland, promising to reveal some additional, um, advancement enhancements in the world of sex toy robots.
