Description:
How can you best chill-out from all national day adventures? Of course, by forgetting how annoying and disturbing people can behave, and go and visit the many cool robots that show their skills at this world exposition. This week is even pretty special. From June 9 until Sunday June 19, there is a Prototype robot exhibtion, at the Morizzo & Kiccoro Exhibition Center - that's where the 88-meter-high Ferris wheel is located. Sixty-five types of unique prototype robots are exhibited by the company Nedo, and they show everybody what in 2020 should be practical use. It's always interesting to see a glimpse of what our future lifestyle in 15 years will be!Watch my latest video (6,6 MB): "The robotic revolution"If you want to see more robots, let me tell you that Bram and Bjorn, two Belgian guys I met in our pavilion a few days ago - researchers at the Faculty of Applied Sciences from the VUB university in Brussels - have been visiting the expo for a week and came in particularly for the many robots here at the expo. They keep a personal diary about their experience (only in Dutch for the time being, but it will be later translated into English) with a lot of small video snippets of the different robots they saw. For people who want to further dive into robotics, their website is certainly worth a visit...About this subject, see also my previous article: "Videoblogs about robots"
