Put a robot in your crew

Robots are called to perform all kinds of tasks in a more efficient way and at a lower cost than most humans. There are many pros and cons about this replacement of human labor for robotics, depending on who takes the floor and based on which social values support the arguments, but there is one sector in which robotics has a perfect labor market niche: Space exploration. Their endurance, lack of vital support requirements, [...]

During the last few weeks we have been working together with members of our jury, University [...]

First Santa Claus-robot interaction: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Cinema has helped, from its very beginning, not only to capture real stories, but also to unleash our fantasy, introducing all kinds of mythical characters and fantastic situations. These categories include, in addition to characters from popular culture or mythology, of course, robots or automata, fictional characters product of technology. Already present in classical mythology, the first robots appeared in proper literature in the early 19th century with The Sandman (Ernst Theodore Amadeus Hoffmann, 1817), [...]

Robotics in Star Trek or how to keep humanist utopia through technological singularity

The other day I woke up startled. I had just dreamt about an acquaintance of my childhood and teenage years with whom I had neither a special friendship, nor was she part of my life, but I liked her. It was a peaceful sleep, we were chatting about trivialities when, just before I woke up I remembered that she had died some years ago. I am still unable to identify what thoughts or memories took [...]

Carlos Salgado, illustrator and designer responsible for designing Pilgrim 7000, the humanoid robot starring in the film Autómata.

From the Cold War to robotic rights with Short Circuit

Anyone who lived during the 1980s, the last decade of the Cold War, has felt in their own flesh what it means to be concerned about an imminent war based on sophisticated and powerful missiles between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the presidential term of Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) the US achieved military supremacy over its enemy by a large investment in military technology, paying the price of an impoverished country with great [...]
