Robot child for sale
We think it looks like a Dyson with a head. The price
tag of around £8,000 means they will not be making everyone happy/nervous,
only those with more cash than sense. So what can it do? It can learn lots of
words, say hello, talk back, guide you around your own home, surf the Net, take messages, act as an alarm clock, messaging service and home security bot. It can not
hoover, wash, polish, cut the grass, set the DVD recorder, call work and make
excuses, bake bread, get you a beer or make a bacon sandwich. As such, we think £8,000 is a lot for an answering machine that follows you around.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to ask for permission to use the information you provide (pictures and text) regarding the "Wakamaru" robot. We would like to use this material in a new exhibition hall located in County Hall - London, where demonstrations of real robots are about to take place.
We are willing to use any kind of acknowledgement to reference your site, your gallery, or any person in charge. If you finally agree to give us the permission to use your material into our robot exhibition hall under a particular acknowledgement, please send us the reference details.
If you have any other proposals on how we can use your material please contact us.
Thank you,
Theodoros Theodoridis
PS: If somebody else is in charge for this request for permission can you please send me his/her contact details?
