Journalist Robot Looks To Replace Us Bloggers
March 19, 2010
While we can scoff and laugh at researchers’ attempts to come up with journalistic robots now, there’s probably going to be a real threat to our jobs from them a few years down the line. The researchers at the Intelligent Systems Informatics Lab in Tokyo have come up with a robot that seems intent on becoming a journalist. The robot is capable of autonomously exploring its surroundings, and whether it notices any changes in the setting, it will snap a picture via its on-board camera, and upload it to the web with a short essay. To produce things creepier, the robot doesn’t mind questioning folks nearby for knowledge, so expect to get an interview with that robot whether it happens to be in your vicinity. You may scoff at it now, but we’d like to keep an eye on that, job shield, you know?

We’ve mentioned the Transfer Jet technology to you a while back, but in case you forgot, it’s a short-range point-to-point communications protocol, allowing you to transfer files wirelessly at speeds of up to 560Mbps by holding the devices close to each other. Earlier reports indicated that Sony would be integrating the technology into its Memory Stick Pro cards, and now that has become a reality. At a press conference held in Tokyo, the company introduced an 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo with Transfer Jet. You can certainly expect to see 16GB and 32GB sizes to follow suit. Will the technology catch on? We certainly hope so.
