Quote of the Day: Obama v. Robots

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

As president, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering.

And I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything.

We Are Autobots

i-be-autobot-0

Behold WeAreAutobots: via webcam, it turns live video of you into a Transformer by way of facial recognition.

It is pretty cool, even if only for a few minutes.

Let the experiments begin:
• It doesn’t transform two people at a time.
• It works on my neighbor Rachael when I duck out of the way.
• It does not work on my neighbor Rachael’s dog.
• Oddly, it does work on a drawing of a face on my stomach!

“Autobot Belly! Transform and roll out!”
