The Robot That Thinks Its a Cell Phone.
Posted by DavidCoulson on Monday, 26 October 2015Its like a Digi Pet yet its your phone. Well not really a Digi Pet but Sharp has made the first smartphone that also operates as a small robot. RoboHan, although not sold in the U.S. yet, looks pretty amazing. Now I want to add that holding a miniature robot to your head just looks stupid but who is to say that his thing couldn’t just serve as a home communication device. Much like our old landlines. From the promotional video I found some really interesting aspects of RoboHan that I am not sure how to feel about. Further more, I am not even certain that these functionalities even exist. Such as allowing your RoboHan to sit on a table and talk to your guest while taking pictures. I just personally want to see the thing dance. This all kind of reminds me of Spike Jonze’s 2013 film “Her” where Joaquin Phoenix’s phone has personality traits of a living person. What do you guys think about the is robo phone?http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/5/9459967/sharp-robohon-robot-phone-japan
