Wheelchairs and Cute Creepy Robots

In the article “Cute to Creepy Robots: Touring the Edge of the Uncanny Valley,” appearing in the Gadgets section of Device Magazine, Dorina Graham (2010, May 4), writes in part,” Uncanny Valley . . . Here we take a tour of modern robots from cute to creepy as we walk along the edge. . . .”  The most awesome little guy in the bunch is R3. With a $41,000 price tag, life-sized R3 was designed for helping the elderly or disabled.

Graham’s article is adorned with with great images of low-tech to high-tech robots, humanoids, and androids. From NASA, GM, Osaka University in Osaka, Japan, and other places around the world, these mechanical marvels of engineering science can be seen and heard playing musical instruments, playing soccer and football, or at work as bartenders, cooks, receptionists . . .  hey, now just wait one minute here. There goes our jobs again! Well, it is for a good cause. Many can benefit from these new technologies.

Graham goes on to write, “Mistakes Begin . . . Walking along the edge of the uncanny valley.” Most know about “Adaptive Technology (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia),” but have you heard about “Riba,” short for Robot for Interactive Body Assistance? Developed by the Riken research center in Japan, Riba is a medical assisting robot specially designed to be the world’s first robot to lift people from wheelchairs and beds.

Here a SportAid we know wheelchairs. Since 1988, SportAid has been the world leader in sales of racing tires, wheelchairs, racing suits, wheelchair cushions, roho cushions, wheelchair tires, and racing chairs.

Rest assured, we will be watching emerging technologies like Riba and others to ensure that we offer the latest adaptive technology that interests our customers most. SportAid.com for “Wheelchairs and Stuff”!
