defrogI get press releases.
Sometimes they’re not what you think they are.
Like this one from Honda talking about their new “Personal Mobility Device”. I thought they meant a mobile phone or a netbook or something.
Turns out they meant a robotic unicycle based on its ASIMO robot technology.
Cute, but when it comes to robot tech and mobility, I’m more impressed by this “Miruko” wearable robot eyeball with face-recognition software that can be linked to an iPhone for potential “navigation, surveillance, and augmented reality entertainment applications”.
Eyeball in my martini,
This is dF
