June 10, 2005—Quick, which one is the robot?

Repliee Q1 (at left in both pictures) appeared yesterday at the 2005 World Expo in Japan, where she gestured, blinked, spoke, and even appeared to breathe. Shown with co-creator Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University, the android is partially covered in skinlike silicone. Q1 is powered by a nearby air compressor, and has 31 points of articulation in its upper body.

Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans.

Surrounded by machines that draw portraits, swat fast-moving balls, and snake through debris, Q1 is only one of the showstoppers at the expo's Prototype Robot Exposition, which aims to showcase Japan's growing role in the robotics industry.

But given Q1's reported glitch-related "spasms" at the expo, it may be a while before androids are escorting tour groups or looking after children—which may be just as well. "When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it's creepy," Hiroshi told the Associated Press.

I'M TELLING YOU! ROBOTS ARE GOING TO CONQUER ALL HUMANS! D:

Five Five Five.

Nasabi ko dun sa isang post na bumagsak ako sa first quiz ko sa Commat2... pero di ko nabanggit na iyon ay ay written part lang nung quiz.

Habang tina-type ko ang blog entry na ito, kakatapos ko lang sa aking programming quiz.

Matrix multiplication. Sa totoo lang, ngayon ko lang ito na-gets. At ngayong araw ko lang din ito nagawa ng tama.

HAHAHA.

Seeing red again

The Red

They say freak
When you're singled out
The red
It filters through

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

Seeing red again
Seeing red again

This change
He won't contain
Slip away
To clear your mind

When asked
Who made it show (Who made it show)
The truth
He gives into most

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

Seeing red again [x7]
Seeing red

They say freak
When you're singled out
The red
It filters through

Para bang ang lahat ng problema na posibleng mangayri ay bumagsak sa akin.

Sa linggong ito, kasama ang sa Math115 (Mathematical Analysis 3 na tinatawag kong "math na pang abno") last week, lahat ng mga naging exam ko ay sumablay. Ang mas malala pa dun, baka lahat ay sumalpok sa dalawang itlog.

Polar coordinates ng karimlan. Sinumpang vector matrices. Maling maximum height na umabot sa mga maling acceleration at velocity.

At kanina naman, symbolic logic na masyado kong minaliit. Porke given na kasi ang mga rule of inferences, binasa ko na lang at "inintindi" ang mga nasa notes ko. Ayan tuloy, apat sa anim na tanong ay hindi ko natapos (ngunit 'di nangangahulugang blanko).

Ang mas masama pa dito, isang buwan pa lang simula nang mag-umpisa ang term. Habang patagal ng patagal, lalo akong humihina. Paano pa kaya ngayong nag-uumpisa pa lang e nagkakalat na ako.

Wala na, masyado na akong bobo. Hindi na ako yung nakilala ng mga tao noong high school. Masyado na akong pabaya.

Hay buhay.

*****UPDATE!

Ako ay naka-58 sa Commat2 1st quiz!

Weeeee~

At first, I thought it was a joke, but as I scroll down through the pictures, I had a sudden change from "LOL" to "Hmm..."

Here's one of the book scans:

ZOMG HIGH GROUND = HAX

*post Star Wars Episode III post*

http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=150

Obi Wan: "It's over Anakin! This high ground adds a +5 to my agility!"

Anakin: "HAX!'

LOLZ XD

Also, I thinkDarth Vader has a point. I mean c'mon, Obi Wan slashed his legs and the lava burned his fucking skin (yeah I think that scene was hilarious), so that would make him a handicapped Sith. But sadly he would be excempted from the parking ticket if only he leads the Empire in a wheelchair.


"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seriously, that made me twitch. :
