Microsoft Research Actually Has A Cool Idea


Video: Career in Computer Science - MS Research

Just imagine, a robot small enough to fit in your backpack, intelligent enough to follow you around like a puppy and useful enough to read your emails, record video and project computer interfaces for you to interact with. Is this the future? A robotic companion to anticipate and serve my every whim? I HOPE SO!

This clever video was created by Microsoft Research to promote careers in computer science. Man, maybe majoring in fashion design was a mistake after all.

That is a cool little bot. Although would have been cooler if it was the Sony QRIO flying around.

a robotic companion to replace the women who aren't in my life to begin with! *hangz head in shame*

Fashion is never a mistake.

I'm glad you like the video.

He looks like the Tranism-symbol to me... No wonder you like it!

'tis cool though!

OMG you're right! He is TRANISM!

This is definitely cool, blows my mind !

One of the researchers just contacted me. He assures me it's just a concept to encourage people to study computer science. He also mentioned a Microsoft Concept Center at their headquarters in Redmond where the public can visit. I'm interested in going. Who's with me?
