Robocup.

When the days of studio were still looming over my head, 
I don't think I could count the number of Nissin noodles I consumed.  

There were days where you were impatient and basically as dried noodle sticks 
but there were also days where you were so caught up in that failing CAD file
that you forgot the noodles were even there 
and it ended up being a cup of mashed potato like blob in soup.

As a staple chapter in every Asian person's childhood / university life,
I'm sure we could appreciate this nifty noodle timer.

Celebrating 40 years of saving student's lives
Nissin got Vstone to create a robot timer as a prize giveaway.

3 minutes is all you need to make that Al Dente cup of noodles.
Now you won't miss it with this timer.

It spits out proverbs, trivias and fortunes for the 3 minutes your waiting,
how thoughtful : )

end of life care-bot.

I don't quite know how to feel about this...

A padded caressing arm and a mechanical recorded voice
designed to guide and comfort dying patients with scripted message.

End of Life Care Machine


I'm pretty sure I'd rather have the people I love around me
rather than a metal arm telling me I'm going to die 
& massage my life away (literally)


But I guess the whole idea is that this robot is able to reenact human social behaviors...
Still, the whole notion is a little too cold and morbid for my liking...

...Thoughts?
