Robots in Arts & Entertainment

This article delves into the fascinating world of robotics within arts and entertainment, featuring Pleo, the innovative baby dinosaur robot created by Ugobe, designed to mimic the behavior of a week-old Camarasaurus. Co-created by Caleb Chung, Pleo offers interaction through learned intelligence and self-developing personality traits. It also discusses Google’s Driverless Car project, led by Sebastian Thrun, which has revolutionized transportation with advanced lidar technology. The article examines the costs, benefits, and ethical issues surrounding these technologies, such as safety concerns and the reliability of human-machine interactions.

  1. Robots in Arts & Entertainment By: Ian McLennan and Robert Dewald

  2. Pleo the Baby Dinosaur • Designer: Caleb Chung (co-creator of Furby) • Designed to emulate a week-old baby Camarasaurus • Company: Ugobe (original) – transferred to Jetta • http://www.pleoworld.com/Home.aspx

  3. Google Driverless Car • Project led by Sebastian Thurn (director of Stanford Artifical Intelligence Lab) • Won 2 million dollar prize from Department of Defense • Uses a series of cameras and lidar (lasar radar) to ”see” its environment and react to other vehicals as well as stop signs, stop lights and other traffic signs

  4. Design (Pleo) • Camarasaurus had ideal body shape, stocky head and relatively large cranium (brain cavity) • Learned intelligence • Self-developing personality

  5. Interaction with owner $350 retail price – not too expensive Substitute for real, living pet (easier to take care of) Costs and Benefits (Pleo) • Software malfunction • Lacking true, animal instinct • Unnatural reaction to environment and unreal personality development

  6. Increases human safety Decreases human error and chance of an accident Costs and Benefits (Google Driverless Car) • Technically illegal in California if there isn't a driver in the car • If the system mess up on the road, human life is lost, not the robot systems life

  7. Social & Ethical Issues • People & Machines • Reliability • Authentication
