This article is another step to AI!

Robots robots robots, the world is starting to get these Artificial Intelligence technology, which is lead by the leading producers of robots Japan. The Japanese company Sakakibara Kikai introduced the the giant robot which is kind of like a toy for a kids because they designed it to be for kids. The price of this robot is $20,000, which is about 600,000 baht, I think that only the rich people would be able to afford this robot because who would spend this huge amount of money on this useless kind of thing. This price is only an estimate which this price came from the older version of this robot which was released in 2011, and the estimate for the cyclops would be around the same price. The robot is about 6 feet tall and is named cyclops because it has only one eye. These robots have free motion in which you are able to program in to walk anywhere you want. You are also able to control the hand movement of this robot as if it was part of your body because it will follow what you're hand is doing by holding the grips at the sides of you (Watch the video for more information .  This robot is very different from the other robots that got released earlier because it runs on batteries that are chargeable, in which others use gasoline which I think is very expensive, and it will eat a lot of your money too. The release of kid friendly robots is another steps to the age of AI, which make me think that we are going to reach the age of robots soon, in which they will be able to babysit our kids, or maybe be even a really good friend to us. Having one of this robots would be really cool because it will turn you into one of the first people to test the age of robots.

The strengths of this author is that his introduction of this robot is very short and precise, in which he gives us all the basic information's of this robot which I think gives people ideas weather of buying this robot or not. He also compares this robot to other robots which I think gives many people the opinion that this is the best robot for kids out in the market.   

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

There are quite a few disadvantages of this author in which he didn't give the full function of this robot, in which there are still many secrets that this robot can do and he didn't mentions it. There are also some complex words in which the aim for this article is for kids, so making it simple would get more attraction from kids, and they might influence their parents to buy it for them.

Discussion Questions

I would like to discuss how this inventions have an affect on the evolution of the Artificial Intelligence. The good side of this article is that these robots will make the present generation of kids have interest in robots, and they might be the future ones who are able to develop and own thinking system for robots, and they might be able to serve us in a level that they are able to understand our communications like in the movies. The bad side is that it's a waste of money buying this huge robot that has no use, in which you can only show them that you're cool riding on a robot.
