Robot

A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patent assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones such as General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own.

The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is robotics. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. These robots have also created a newer branch of robotics: soft robotics.

Robots (2005 video game)

Robots is a platform video game released in 2005 by Eurocom to coincide with film of the same name. A few voice actors reprise their roles from the movie, such as Stanley Tucci. However, Ewan McGregor doesn't reprise his role as Rodney Copperbottom.

Summary

A robot named Rodney Copperbottom decides to leave his home at Rivet Town and head to Robot City to realize his dream of working for his childhood hero, Bigweld. He makes a flying robot called Wonderbot out of scrap before he leaves. At the city, he goes to Bigweld's factory, but realizes that Bigweld is mysteriously absent, and finds out that the factory is currently being run by a robot by the name of Phineas T Ratchet, who hatches an evil plan to create more futuristic robots like himself and destroying old robots made out of scrap. Rodney also meets a gang of colorful outmodes called the Rusties, who are also affected from the change Ratchet has made. A robot named Jack Hammer tells Rodney that there are many scrap parts in the sewers of Robot City and that Rodney can go collect the scrap in order to keep the Rusties alive. After doing so, Rodney and the Rusties go to Bigweld's Mansion to find Bigweld. Bigweld agrees to help Rodney and the Rusties, and sets off with Rodney to stop Ratchet and save all robot-kind.

    Robots

    by: Dan Mangan

    Oh I don't know what you've been told
    But I don't get out much these days
    Waking young and feeling old
    The days are no longer my own,
    To piss away the waking hours
    But don't, don't don't, don't let them go
    oh don't, don't don't, don't let them go to waste
    The fire in my eye is fleeting now
    Your robot heart is bleeding
    Tried to be the Robot King
    And settled for the robot boy
    Ring the bells that still can ring
    And sing your stupid head off
    To the ones who are not listening
    But don't, don't don't, don't let them go
    Don't don't, don't don't, don't let them go to waste
    The fire in my eye is fleeting now
    Your robot heart is bleeding out
    And I spent half of my life
    In the customer service line
    Flaws in the design
    A sign of the times
    And that little voice
    In the back of your mind
    Just wants you to know
    Just hopes that you know
    Robots need love too
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by
    Robots need love too
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by
    Robots need love too
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by
    (Background)
    Robots need love too
    They want to be loved by you
    They want to be loved by you
