Robo Sapiens 2003 (Video)

Robot
The video promo reads:

"Ever since Isaac Asimov wrote his robot series of science fiction novels (though Czech writer Karel Capek coined the word first, in his 1920 play R. U. R.), people have looked at robots as both a threat and a blessing. The threat is that robots would be come conscious and act on their own volition; the blessing is that robots could accomplish many boring, repetitive and dangerous tasks for us."

The video itself (included below) is a little long, but well worth watching if you're a robot fan like we are.




Thanks to "daveski" on the RoboSavvy robot forum for alerting us to this video.
