Thanks, little guy.

And even cooler, you actually don't have to be in the same geographic location as the robot to control him.

Or is it crap?

I would like to tell you all that you are all actually cyborgs, but not the cyborgs that you think.

Yeah. Because I'm a robot right?

I can actually adjust the angle of the camera on the device.

They change from person to person.

So we can't wait to get you all robots, and we can't wait to see what you build.

We don't need mechanized workers.

So what's a good definition for cyborg?

I saw a brokendown piece of machinery.

The future of personal robotics is happening today, and it's going to depend on small, agile robots like Romo and the creativity of people like yourselves.

In fact, who would like to drive a robot?

So we think that if you're going to have a robot in your home, that robot ought to be a manifestation of your own imagination.

So just by a show of hands, how many of you all have a robot at home?

So that's why I study cyborg anthropology.

And actually of those hands, if you don't include Roomba how many of you have a robot at home?

In the parking lot, mechanics are exchanging the last cold spark plugs for warm ones.

The reason we're so focused on building robots that everyone can train is that we think the most compelling use cases in personal robotics are personal.

I, as a cyborg anthropologist, have suddenly said,

So I wish that I could tell you what the future of personal robotics looks like.

They're so popular these days because they're mechanically simple.

So all of these wi fi enabled robots actually learn from each other.

We create robotic workers that we treat like assets, to lever and just throw away.

Now, the nice thing about complicated mechanical devices is if they do suddenly go haywire

This robot can't be creepy or uncanny.

So I can see everything that Romo sees, and I get a robot's eye view of the world.

When people kill each other because of hatred, it's terrible far worse it will be when they learn kill each other just mechanically.

And then if you have something you like, you can download it onto your robot and execute it in real life, run the program in real life.

You're not RoboCop, and you're not Terminator, but you're cyborgs every time you look at a computer screen or use one of your cell phone devices.

So he actually streams two way audio and video between any two smart devices.

And then if you have something you're proud of, you can share it with every other person who owns a robot in the world.

And it's a crime that our education system is so serious because education is serious that we're creating mindless, robotic workers to put bolts in pre drilled holes.

Now this is a free app on the App Store, so if any of you guys had this app on your phones, we could literally right now share control of the robot and play games together.

Now a remote access spambot has targeted her company's servers with a denial of service attack.

All of the alternatives to oil depend on oil powered machinery, or require materials such as plastics that are produced from oil.

So we really want to build a robot that anyone can use, whether you're eight or 80.

What silk biologists do is we try to relate these sequences, these amino acid sequences, to the mechanical properties of the silk fibers.

This allows you to drag and drop these blocks of semantic code and create any behavior for this robot you want.

But what we do know is that it isn't 10 years or 10 billion dollars or a large humanoid robot away.

You can imagine an eight year old girl, for example, who has an iPhone, and her mom buys her a robot.

That girl can take her iPhone, put it on the robot, send an email to Grandma, who lives on the other side of the country.

You're all thinking now, these guys are having way too much fun, and you're probably also asking yourself, why exactly are they building machine athletes?

And by leveraging the power of the iPhone's processor, we can create a robot that is wi fi enabled and computer vision capable for 150 bucks, which is about one percent of what these kinds of robots have cost in the past.

The airplane landed at Narita Airport.
