Robot Wars

Tuesday 26 December 2006

Sony’s robot is better than Honda’s robot, we think.

Another month, another bloody Honda ad. This time it’s the turn of Honda’s concept robot, Asimo, to make a star appearance. So far so dull. Why didn’t Honda show all the great stuff that little old Asimo can do… like run and fall up stairs? Instead the ad features probably the world’s most expensive museum tour guide. Whatever. We’re much more impressed with Sony’s QRIO — it can dance.

Sony has of course halted development of the QRIO.

What Goes On

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."
