For those of you who don’t know, click on Tokio Hotel to find out more.
The lead singers face is morphed onto the body of a robot making him a Humanoid. Many musicians draw on the idea of robots for their music videos. Below is the link for Automatic. It focuses a human-like relationship between a male and a female robot. One of the lines in the song is “There’s no real love in you.” This comes off as being a critique on robots not being able to feel real emotions but then again this is a song from a young rock band whom of which I doubt they would be thinking that much into the idea of robots.
Their album title Humanoid is defined as having human characteristics or form; or resembling a human. Humanoids come across often in film and toy stores. Humanoid robots have the overall appearance of a human but are mainly robotic. Toy companies let kids buy their own personal robot toys from wind up robots to Transformers and even the interactive Robosapien.
My main point is that though fully automated robots don't exsist yet, there is still room to dream. Though one arises: Why is the human body being used as the template for robots?
Click on Automatic for the Tokio Hotel video that I was talking about.
