Post your Robot EXPO Stories Here
Humanoid robots were all over at the EXPO in Shanghai China.
You still have a chance to go there and see, until October.
Behind the glass were several humanoids in the French Exhibit.
The man beside me knew more about the robots than me. He
pounded on the window and frantically waved. It got the robot's
attention which turned around to face the man and looked directly
at him and waved back! Coincidence or not, I don't know anymore.
These humanoid robots can do more things, have more fluent
motions and are more life-like than anything I have see before.
They also seem to be growing up, taller and taller, over the years.
No longer are they 12 to 15-inches high, but several feet tall!

I'll post something about that when I get back.

Probably not, none of my 'bots run off a Prop - AVR here so far. I am working on trying to put together a couple of demonstrations of development kits for the people to get ideas. I am also looking into the possibility of teaching a class for beginners.
Good to hear you enjoyed the robot displays; I wish I could have seen them.
On the other hand I'm also glad you confirmed the conditions, and I did not expose myself to that heat, humidity and line up, as I just can't handle that. Whenever I stepped outside from the air conditioned buildings, I would literally be soaked through in three minutes, and that level of discomfort is just not for me. I'm positive I would have been sent home in a wooden crate in the cargo bay.
Cheers,
