Robotic pets?
I thought this was interesting, the development of robotic animals/pets, in which are able to perform tasks otherwise done by humans. This particular example I found which is still under construction was of the BIGDOG, which can carry heavy loads. The you tube video speaks for itself though. What I was most interested about is the future of this type of technology. Being a person who doesn’t think of themselves as a cyborg and would not embrace cyborg technology, I would be happy however to embrace this type of robotic technology in order to make life much easier as companions which have serious usefulness!
