Guillaume Apollinaire Quotes

Building a robot that has legs and walks around is a very expensive proposition. Mother Nature has created many wonderful things, but one thing we do have that nature doesn't is the wheel, a continuous rotating joint, and tracks, so we need to make use of inventions to make things simpler.

It isn't obvious and it took us a while to demonstrate that we could actually design a machine that bends.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on... It's perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.

If that's there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.

Some people think technology has the answers.

With the advent of computing, human invention crossed a threshold into a world different from everything that came before. The computer is the universal machine almost by definition, machine-of-all-trades, capable of accomplishing or simulating just about any task that can be logically defined.

My explorations of the technical world started with Legos, with which I was quite creative in constructing moving objects with the basic building blocks that were then available.

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.

I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.

I love technology. Matches, to light a fire, is really high tech. The wheel is really one of the great inventions of all time. Other than that, I am an ignoramus about technology.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

Through machinery, man can exert tremendous powers almost as fantastic as if he were the hero of a fairy tale. Through machinery, man can travel with an ever increasing velocity; he can fly through the air and go beneath the surface of the ocean.

For me, I don't think there's anything more human than technology. That's a big thing separating us from other animals: we make things, we build things, we create machines.

As a tech optimist, I believe productivity woes can be solved through cleverly imagined and implemented technology.

I guess you could blame it on being raised by comics and television, but I've always loved robots in any shape or size.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

I actually learned about Cyborg through the cartoon shows, and I think that's how most people learn about Cyborg.

I'm not a robot - I don't do the robot stuff, yeah.

AI cloud is just very, very nascent.

We live in a time of astounding technological advancements. There are deep-sea drones and live-streaming virtual reality.

I think that there are so many problems that we have as a society that AI can help us address.

We are more like vehicles, a part of our mensch machine, our man-machine. Sometimes we play the music, sometimes the music plays us, sometimes... it plays.

My government has taken significant measures to enable the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in our country.
