Inspiration This Week. Robots
My last post on inspiration focused on the clever use of discarded water bottles to create electricity free air conditioning. This week it is robots. And in particular, the Atlas research platform. https://www.bostondynamics.com/atlas
Why? Largely because my 8th grade son Soren just started a 5 year public school track focusing on Engineering and programming, earning college credits along the way. Ever since he started programming at 9 years of age and then hacking raspberry pi kits, Traxxas, Nerf guns... he has said he wants to work at Boston Dynamics. I honestly forgot about his obsession with Boston Dynamics until today when Soren came home from school so psyched about his classes in school.
Bigger purpose. I believe robots will contribute significantly to the overarching solution of saving Earth from climate disaster. https://www.popsci.com/technology/estonian-firefighting-robot/ is one example post problem...certainly many more will help prevent the problems, like Fred which helps clean up the ocean.
What inspired you this week? Let me know.
