I have been fascinated with robotic since I was a child. But it was never easy to build a robot – a very expensive hobby to say the least. But with Lego’s mindstom I saw hope and I am waiting for Mindstorms NXT to be released.
I am more into software, as that gives you options and some possibility of “AI” to a robot. That being said I was pleasantly surprised by Microsoft’s announcement today about their Robotics Studio.
I know there will be challenges putting the two together, but I for sure want to get back into building robots. Once a technology crosses a certain threshold, things become “obvious” that were previously novel and abstruse. Aren’t we living it on the Internet?
