After a quick vacation week Michael R. brings a meditative view back to the show with a Robotic Monk designed to welcome young visitors to temples in China.

Beginning with a pair of life-like robots, Michael and Michael take a look at a tortoise that is designed from the ground up to provide robot-to-human feedback on how to interact with it, turning red, and even withdrawing its head under its shell when children bang on its shell, and alternately dancing a bit when the children pet it. Another robot is designed by MIT’s CSAIL team for undersea adventure — swimming naturally as other fish do, which can allow it … Continue reading
