Robotic Quotations

If you're into a leather-jacketed crime fighter and his artificially intelligent robotic supercar, tune into 'The Good Wife.' If, on the other hand, you prefer the misadventures of a freelance itinerant trucker and his simian sidekick, check out 'The Walking Dead.' Or DVR them both and go talk to your family.

Shortly afterwards, I did a third one to repair the robotic arm of the station. This arm plays a very important role in the ongoing expansion of the station as well as in the deployment of solar panels.

I do feel like 'The Dark Knight' is a great film, but that Batman in there? He's almost like Robocop to me. He's almost robotic looking; he's got this surgical approach to everything... He's almost not human. That's supposed to be his whole point: he's supposed to be the most human of superheroes.

I see robotic technology getting rid of the dangerous, the dirty, and the just plain boring jobs. Some people say, 'You can't. People won't have anything to do.' But we found things that were a lot easier than backbreaking labor in the sun and the fields. Let people rise to better things.

When you're too robotic and scripted, the students tune you out. So I always tried to use different learning modalities - kinesthetic, auditory, visual, whatever might bring learning to life.

You can make the assumption that most human drivers are not out to kill pedestrians. Well, maybe in some parts of Boston they are. But with a person at the wheel who you can see, you behave accordingly. With the robotic car, how do you know what assumption to make?

The era during which only governments could put hardware on the Moon is coming to an end. There are 26 private teams competing for the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize - to be awarded for sending a robotic spacecraft to this nearby world that can roam at least 500 meters, and send back data such as a photo.

I was really overwhelmed by the amount of roles that I got offered that were carbon copies of what I did in 'Up in the Air.' I got every offer for every ambitious, unfeeling practically robotic character.

People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.

People who've had a stroke often lose arm function, and it can take a lot of hard work to get it back. The robotic arm allows patients to perform guided and assisted movements over and over again--up to 1,000 repetitions an hour--to improve range of motion, strength and ultimately function in the arm.

Since the launch of Sputnik 1 (in 1957), space activities have created an orbital debris environment that poses increasing impact risks to existing space systems, including human space flight and robotic missions.

SEQuester(tm), the patented star product in this new generation of super filters, is intended for the genomics market of automated DNA sequencing laboratories. The product offers sizeable labor savings in the processing of DNA samples and fully enables robotic sequencers. We have discussed tentative agreements for brand alliances and manufacturing through well known distribution channels in the DNA products industry, an overall market worth an estimated U.S. $4 billion.

I did a sort of Gregorian chant yesterday. Nobody really told me what they thought of that. Today it was more of a robotic thing.

Fossil finding will be a very difficult job on Mars. I don't think robotic missions will do it. It will take astronauts and even then it will be a tough job.

What you really want is a hand tool that has robotic capability so that a surgeon could be in the middle of a procedure and be able to bring in the robot.

He was a robotic quarterback a year ago. He's been able to pace himself over the course of the year by understanding the length of the season. All these things are why you're seeing the difference from this year to last year.

He felt a bit robotic with it all. It wasn't working for him,

Patients breathe. If you've got a lung tumor, the patient's going to move, so the tumor is going to move. You have to have an intelligent robot capable of moving along with the target. So this robotic system really expands radiosurgery for use throughout the body.

I will be the first to put my hand up and say it's partly down to management skills and partly the price of milk, but it's also due to the nature of the robotic system.

I think there is a move afoot to move money for science and robotic missions into the human exploration program and this is just part of it. There is a strong push to reduce the number of missions.

Robotic toys can be very interesting, but it is important that the toy not 'dictate' how the child should play with it. Rather, it should take its cues from the child and enhance, teach, and enrich the play experience. We incorporated some of these features into a robotic baby doll we built for Hasbro in 1999.

I think people who have all kinds of debilitating mobility issues will benefit from robotic augmentation. That is, even before we get into organ replacement and organ printing and synthetic biology and so on and so forth.

I think it's safe to say people are going to be interested in Kim Kardashian's love choices for the next 30 years. But they can take a minute to think about the new robotic arm that could replace the one they lost to cancer. Then they can keep thinking about Kim Kardashian.

Most kids should be familiar with building blocks, and this incorporates robots into the familiar. You get to play with building blocks with a robotic arm that you can control from a distance.

We are not saying sit on ones hands for the next year at all. We're saying precede vigorously with the development activities for a robotic mission. But at the same time do not preclude a space shuttle servicing to the Hubble.

This work has the potential to completely change the minimally invasive surgery landscape. This is just the start of things to come regarding robotic devices at work inside the body during surgery.

To be one of the world's top space robotic arm operators is a necessary skill for an astronaut, but it doesn't have much carry-over.

We want to support solar technology and do our part to be a responsible business. By combining solar power and robotic cutting equipment, we are able to maintain our high-end snowboard reputation and show the younger generation that solar energy is the future.

The Robotic Lunar Exploration Program is a critical element of NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. Data collected will help determine where we go, and what we find during our first human missions to the lunar surface.

You have to be aware that there are some unknown unknowns out there, ... a few well-defined robotic missions (to the moon) will give us most of the answers that we need.

What field geologists typically do - and Spirit is a robotic field geologist - is you climb to the top of the nearest hill and take a look around so you get the lay of the land and figure out where you want to go,

There's going to be quite a period of mourning once we lose one, just one. We know these creatures, these robotic creatures on Mars, pretty well now. It is going to take some digesting to get used to them not being there everyday.

In California there is a company that has a robot that does surgical procedures, and we linked out technology to the robotic arms with two microscopic cameras and was able to watch the live prostate surgery in 3-D. This is 3-D floating in the air where you can put your hands through it.

If science is the driver, what scientific activities are going to dominate? Decisions on this will affect the structure of the science effort as a whole, the landing site selection, the nature of robotic predecessors, the types of experiments developed, and a host of other issues that require sustained thought and planning.

Not to be affected would be a robotic response, ... We're human beings. Now, having said that, there's a necessity for reporters to get the facts.

No, the maxim is not true, robotic dogs are definitely the thing to work with, K9, aren't you. Probably better than real dogs I dare say.

The Fed has been kind of on autopilot here for quite a while, ... Now all of a sudden they're going to have to start doing some work. I don't think a robotic response is appropriate here.

The Earth has a very low tolerance for this greedy egotistical corporate robotic human behavior. The Earth senses its artificial ingredients and will use its immune system to combat it.

The uncertain current status of the shuttle return to flight as well as uncertainties in the early stages of development of the robotic mission lead us to believe that the key technical decision points are at least a year in the future. Keeping both options open would be a prudent direction for the agency to take.

And it was just more robotic statements about the Japanese yen.

This mission will greatly expand our scientific understanding of Mars, pave the way for our next robotic missions later in this decade and help us prepare for sending humans to Mars." ()

There's a kind of robotic logic at work in his memorandum that runs roughshod over important distinctions between nonviolent and violent felons.
