demo

Once robots can be set to work with a quick demo and some verbal commands, the country that can muster the most robots—rather than the most workers—wins.

In a demo, “What ate my grass?” showed rabbits munching in the garden.

As I’ve often related since then, that was the only time I ever walked away from one of those demos thinking, “That will change my life, and I must have it.”

“The garage at the Beacon house got a new door, was sound-proofed, and that became their practice space and where they tracked all of their demos.”

It’s not surprising that robot demos seldom show humans interacting closely with walking robots.
