	I'm going to show this to Bebe the Dog. She'll say she's not tall enough to reach the sink, thank you very much, may I have my treat now? I continue to be amazed at what Boston Dynamics produces. The founder was still at Carnegie Mellon in the Leg Lab when I worked on campus. The folks in the Science Library had a great view of the parking lot where legs got tested ... took a while to get working models.

	It's spooky how close the gait is to a natural animal.

	Yes, I was struck by that too...We are starting to see some very natural looking movements here and there in robots....more graceful...It won't be that much longer before the movements are indistinguishable from biological creatures.... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	And when they do, will the Dogbot have natural instincts to chase the Kittybot? __________________ Remember when reading my post: (-1)^½ m (2)^½

	Robotic pizza coming to your doorstep...wow this is cool, can't wait.... "A Silicon Valley startup created by a former video game executive is taking aim at Domino’s and Pizza Hut, promising to deliver mostly robot-made pizzas in a truck that cooks the pie en route to your house. " "The startup’s delivery vans, which are awaiting approval from the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, each come equipped with 56 remotely controlled ovens. Zume co-founder Alex Garden, a former executive at mobile gaming giant Zynga, tells Bloomberg that once the vans are operational, the process will work by having the robots load each oven with different orders. At approximately three minutes and 15 seconds before arriving at the delivery destination, the oven will be turned on remotely from the Zume office, and “boom, the customer gets a fresh, out-of-the-oven pizza delivered to their door.”" https://consumerist.com/2016/06/24/robot-pizza-company-wants-to-be-amazon-of-food/ http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/24/12025516/silicon-valley-zume-robot-pizza-innovation-automation __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life
