Title: Evolution of Robotics, Programmable Robots, AI Winter, Surge of Personal Robots,

Hi Ai friends - here is my first (of 5) talk with Irene Lyakovetsky of SaugaTalks - there is a lot of my history of building robots (50 years ) to the present day.

Welcome to the forum.

You're really brave to do interviews,  I never have the guts.    Comp viz and motor generation, together could make a pretty cool toy come to life.     Most people that post here are chat bot software developers,   but theres also a few people doing robot bodies as well.  But pretty much 95% of us all are working on something, the same as you,   It's been a bit quiet lately here, but it might spur up again in the near future.

Depends if anyone gets anything exciting done, I guess maybe.

Robot building is fun!

Here is my inexpensive robot prototype, fully programmable to automatically lip sync computer generated speech:

Years ago Dave Morton and I (as seen in the background) were chatting about it over on: https://www.datahopa.co.uk

I may see a few of the same or similar electronic components Tony uses, but he also has more advanced components which are very cool.  My prototype is simple to practice programming robotics.

I always say my own opinion its not the components that are fancy, its how they are put together!! =)
