Robotic Hockey Player


(YouTube link)

Researchers at the University of Manitoba are working on a robot that plays hockey. They called it Jennifer, after player Jennifer Botterill. The robot was built by the Korean company Robotis, and the university has modified it and is working on its hockey and skating skills. As far as George Carlin's three activities of hockey, Jennifer does pretty well with a puck, she could use some work on her skating, but can she fight? The project team hopes to get Jennifer into the the DARwin-op Humanoid Application Challenge in May. Link -via BroBible

I recommend to google about russian early 20th century photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky. Most of his color photos are dated at the same time as Albert Kahn's. Really amazing as well.

The past still exists somehow with such pictures.
Eery. I would want to immerse in these, just endlessly looking around and wondering about these people and those places so long ago.

When I was a child I just could not imagine that in the time before my own appearance let alone so long ago in the world there also was colour. The Past was Black and White- Only the Present had colour and the colours faded away with time.

Just amazing. Wow.
