Robotics Quotes

People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why. (Peter Thiel)
Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far, far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on, based on preliminary successes. View quote
Daniel H. Wilson
There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe. View quote
Daniel H. Wilson
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. View quote
Daniel H. Wilson
The way that the robotics market is going to grow, at least in the home, is that we'll have a number of different special purpose robots. View quote
Colin Angle
Yes, I see the Mobile Base System really is the shoulder of the arm. The arm is right there, like a human arm. It's really funny to look at the similarities between a human arm and the Canadian robotics arm. View quote
Philippe Perrin
Robotics has already made significant inroads in electronics assembly, with sewing trades - traditionally many countries' first entry point to the global trading system - likely to come next. View quote
Michael Spence
The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs. View quote
Michael Dell
The reason it has taken so long for the robotics industry to move forward is because people keep trying to make something that is cool but difficult to achieve rather than trying to find solutions to actual human problems. Technology can be extremely expensive if you don't focus. View quote
Colin Angle
When I was building robots in the early 1990s, the problems of voice recognition, image understanding, VOIP, even touchscreen technologies - these were robotics problems. View quote
Colin Angle
If you look at the field of robotics today, you can say robots have been in the deepest oceans, they've been to Mars, you know? They've been all these places, but they're just now starting to come into your living room. Your living room is the final frontier for robots. (Cynthia Breazeal)
Technology and robotics are advancing and will reduce the need for workers in the future. View quote
Jan C. Ting
I would love to learn popping, locking and robotics, gymnastics and acrobatics; it is amazing to learn these things. View quote
Malaika Arora Khan
Ultimately, I hypothesize that technology will one day be able to recreate a realistic representation of us as a result of the plethora of content we're creating converging with other advances in machine learning, robotics and large-scale data mining. View quote
Adam Ostrow
Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play. View quote
Chris Gabrieli
Nobody complains that Bernini's sculptures are too darn real, right? Or that Norman Rockwell's paintings are too creepy. Well, robots can seem real and be loved, too. We're trying to make a new art medium out of robotics. View quote
David Hanson
Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy. So, if they achieve human level intelligence or, quite possibly, greater than human levels of intelligence, this could be the seeds of hope for our future. View quote
David Hanson
Machines are becoming devastatingly capable of things like killing. Those machines have no place for empathy. There's billions of dollars being spent on that. Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy. View quote
David Hanson
It's the first time an exoskeleton has been controlled by brain activity and offered feedback to the patients. Doing a demonstration in a stadium is something very much outside our routine in robotics. It's never been done before. View quote
Miguel Nicolelis
Hands-on experience is the best way to learn about all the interdisciplinary aspects of robotics. View quote
Rodney Brooks
I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence. (Sebastian Thrun)
Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior. View quote
J. J. Abrams
I had the honor of speaking with Asimov. The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics. View quote
Alan Parsons
I've been in navigation systems, robotics, restaurants, communications systems, touch screens, and now I'm back in games. I like to say I have five-year A.D.D. View quote
Nolan Bushnell
What I will be remembered for are the Foundation Trilogy and the Three Laws of Robotics. View quote
Isaac Asimov
