Was soll man davon halten, wenn eine japanische Erfinderschmiede sich Cyberdyne nennt (die Erbauer des Terminators) und dann einen Bodysuit namens HAL (Odyssee 2001) baut? Dr. Strange, ihr Einsatz!

Cyberdyne will diverse Roboteranzüge zum Anziehen/Umschnallen auf den Markt bringen. Damit kann der Mensch mit mechanischer Kraft gehen und schwere Gegenstände heben. Angeblich habe die Firma keinerlei militärische Absichten, sondern sehe seine Produkte insbesondere als Unterstützung der älteren Mitbürger, aber auch im Katastropheneinsatz oder in der Logistikbranche.
Warum sie ihren Roboteranzug ausgerechnet HAL nennen, ist nicht nachvollziehbar. Vielleicht weigert sich das Gerät ab und an, Befehlen zu gehorchen?
Jedenfalls gibt es eine Sensorkupplung (auf der Haut), die Gedankensignale direkt in entsprechende Bewegung der Kunstmuskeln umsetze. Dabei könne das System sogar gewisse Bewegungsabläufe vorahnen, da es mit den typischen menschlichen Aktivitäten vorprogrammiert sei. Einen Eindruck vom Prototypen vermittelt dieses BBC-Video.
Mit 1,60 m Scheitelhöhe ist HAL eindeutig noch nicht europäisiert. Die zwei Ausbaustufen des Bodysuits wiegen 15 kg und 23 kg. Daran habe hauptsächlich der eingebaute Akku Schuld, der es momentan auf nicht ganz drei Stunden Laufzeit bringe. Für die nahe Zukunft geplant sind auch spezielle Outdoor-Varianten. Von da bis zur bleispuckenden Matrix-Kampfmaschine wäre es nicht mehr weit… [Ralf]

Wissenschaftler zittern: Die Killerroboter kommen

Fortschritt? Weißkittel erfinden eine Art Gedankenlesen

Voici une première vidéo qui nous vient du japon:

Une autre,cette fois c’est aux USA,c’est moins esthétique et fait penser aux robots dans matrix 3(en plus petit):

et un truc marrant,mais qui doit nous faire nous poser des questions,un mini transformer,si si ,ça existe en modèle réduit,mais qui nous dit qu’il n’existe pas des gros modèles :

Tout ça pour vous dire que les films de sciences fictions,au lieu de nous sensibliser à ces technologies ,nous projette dans le domaine de la fiction,du film,bref de ce qui n’est pas par définition RÉEL,alors que c’est très très réel,voir ici ,ici, ici, et  ici .

Một công ty Nhật Bản vừa cho ra mắt bộ quần áo máy được thiết kế để giúp người tàn tật đi lại và cử động bình thường.

Bộ quần áo robot được tạo nên bởi các chi máy và nặng 23 kg. Ảnh: Telegraph.

Bộ quần áo có tên Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL). Đây là sản phẩm của tập đoàn Cyberdyne tại Nhật bản. Nó được tạo ra để “nâng cấp những khả năng thể chất sẵn có của cơ thể người”.

HAL được tạo nên bởi những “chi máy” và có khối lượng 23kg. Đằng sau nó có một túi chứa pin và hệ thống máy tính. Não người sử dụng sẽ điều khiển máy tính. Khi một người muốn cử động, não gửi các tín hiệu thần kinh xuống cơ. Các thiết bị hiện đại có thể phát hiện những tín hiệu đó (dù rất yếu) trên bề mặt da. HAL sẽ xác định những tín hiệu đó nhờ một cảm biến gắn vào da người sử dụng. Sau đó máy tính truyền tín hiệu tới bộ phận nguồn để các chi máy cử động đồng bộ với chi thật.

Những người gặp khó khăn trong cử động – chẳng hạn như liệt do đột quỵ hoặc chấn thương dây thần kinh cột sống – có thể thuê bộ trang phục máy với giá 220.000 yen (1.370 USD) mỗi tháng. Tập đoàn Cyberdyne tin rằng sản phẩm của họ sẽ có nhiều ứng dụng. Chẳng hạn, nó có thể giúp người bại liệt tập đi, hỗ trợ công nhân trong những việc nặng nhọc, cứu người trong thảm họa.

HAL có thể giúp người sử dụng thực hiện nhiều công việc hàng ngày, như đứng lên ghế, bước, leo lên và xuống cầu thang, nâng vật nặng. Bộ quần áo có thể hoạt động trong gần 5 giờ trước khi cần sạc điện. Cyberdyne khẳng định người sử dụng sẽ không cảm thấy nặng khi mặc HAL, bởi bộ khung ngoài của trang phục đã “gánh” hết khối lượng của nó.

HAL được thiết kế để có thể sử dụng trong nhà và ngoài trời. Giáo sư Yoshiyuki Sankai, người sáng lập kiêm giám đốc điều hành tập đoàn, nói rằng ban đầu ông chế tạo trang phục máy để phục vụ hoạt động leo núi.

“Thậm chí HAL có thể hoạt động trong tuyết ở độ cao 4.000 m so với mực nước biển”, tập đoàn Cyberdyne khẳng định.

Los empleados de una empresa fabricante de robots realizaron una exhibición pública de su traje de rehabilitación diseñado para ayudar a las personas con problemas de desplazamiento en las calles céntricas de Tokio.

La firma Cyberdyne dijo que el nombre HAL, que pesa 10 kilogramos (22 libras), es una abreviatura de extremidad híbrida de asistencia. Está equipada con sensores que leen las señales del cerebro dirigiendo el movimiento de la extremidad a través de la piel.

Tres personas vestidas con HAL viajaron en tren el lunes desde Tsukuba, al norte de la capital japonesa, hasta el centro de Tokio.

“HAL fue fabricado para ayudar a las personas que tienen músculos débiles y problemas de desplazamiento… Se ha demostrado que HAL es muy útil para nuestra vida diaria”, destacó Gonzalo Tirado.

El equipo se adhiere a la cintura con una correa y transmite señales del cerebro a los soportes mecánicos de las piernas atadas a los muslos y rodillas, que proveen asistencia robot a las personas con extremidades débiles.

HAL se vende en tres tallas, pequeña, mediana y grande, y se alquila por piezas. Una pierna cuesta mensualmente 1.570 dólares (150.000 yenes), mientras que el alquiler de dos piernas es de 2.300 dólares mensuales (220.000 yenes). No se tiene claro cuándo saldrá a la venta.

Gonzalo Tirado dijo que Estados Unidos y algunas naciones europeas han expresado interés, pero no dio detalles.

HAL podría ser de beneficio para las personas discapacitadas y de edad avanzada. Japón tiene un creciente número de personas de edad avanzada. Un quinto de su población de 128 millones de personas tiene 65 años o más, y se calcula que la cifra se duplicará en los próximos 30 años.

This week in Robotics . . .

“Three employees of Japan’s Cyberdyne robotics company recently demonstrated a new “people-assisting” device: an exoskeleton that could help injured or disabled people walk. The system is called “HAL 5,” and three prototypes of the technology paraded through Tokyo this week.”

Am I the only one just a little disturbed that the company is called Cyberdyne and the robot bits are named HAL? Macabre sense of humor to be sure.

Guess I should probably announce this sooner rather than later.  My friend Ryan King and I are soon going to launch STALE POPCORN, a webcomic about life in a movie theater.  I’ll keep you updated here about the project as it moves forward.   We’ve got bunches of ideas, so it should be a fun ride. 

Something else I wanted to get out there was a link to this article on theforce.net entitled “Young Padawan Needs Our Help”

“Dear Friends,

A friend of mine I went to high school with recently found out her 3 year old daughter has Cancer. Her name is Maddie and she is just adorable. It breaks my heart to see anyone, especially young children have to suffer through chemo treatments and long hospital stays. The parents ( Kelly & Ray ) are having a hard time making ends meet. Kelly has depleted her leave and is not drawing a salary. The ambulance ride alone was more than $3K, which is not covered by health insurance.

They are having a benefit at the Taberg Legion ( Taberg, New York ) on September 12th for Maddie. If there is ANYTHING you could donate for the raffles, that would be wonderful. Here is a recent update from her grandmother.”

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Young_Padawan_Needs_Our_Help_125461.asp

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a strong supporter of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, what they do, and their work with children’s charities. There’s a reason I link to the 501st site off of this blog. I have a friend in the Legion and hope to join a garrison myself some day. This is right in their wheelhouse and I felt a duty to spread the word.

The Japanese company Cyberdyne has invented a robotic exoskeleton that will “help people with weak leg muscles and mobility problems.”

Why, exactly, is this news apocalypse-worthy? The AP writes:

Cyberdyne said its 22 pound (10 kilogram) HAL — short for hybrid assistive limb — is equipped with sensors that read brain signals directing limb movement through the skin.

HAL. They named it HAL.

They actually named a robot designed to interface with the human nervous system HAL.

Thank you oh-so-very-much, Cyberdyne. It’s people like you who make this blog possible. If you don’t know who HAL is, he’s the sentient computer who runs the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey and tries to murder all the humans on board.

Now, let’s think about this for a minute. The target demographic for the real-life HAL is the elderly. Maybe things are a little different in Japan, where they probably all use flying cars by now, but in the rest of the world, old people already don’t trust machines — let alone one whose namesake is a computer who unplugs hibernating astronauts’ life support. I’m pretty sure that being unplugged from life support is old peoples’ number one fear.

Bad business move, if you ask me. Wonderful for the apocalypse, though.

I’m intrigued to see where this trend of creating machines that can read the signals from our brains will lead. They’re thinking pretty small right now, what with only fixing limbs that are already weak. Why not give people more limbs? Like, four more. They’d have to be more like tentacles that attach directly to our spines and we could finally get all that work done we’ve been meaning to do. Of course, then we’d be misunderstood and we’d have to always fight Spider-Man.

Curses!

Yep its coming when they start teaching robots how operate high performance vehicles, I’ve seen the new terminator and I dont like where this going at all.
This particular Terminator sorry i mean robot has been give a super friendly name ‘Flossie’ and its purpose is to ride motorbikes in extreme weather conditions without fatigue.

My review of Terminator Salvation is now up in the articles section.

C+

Even if you have never seen one of the Terminator movies, chances are you’ve heard the catchphrases they have spawned. The first film in the franchise, which now includes four movies and a TV show, gave us “Come with me if you want to live,” and “I’ll be back.”  The far superior second film with it’s groundbreaking special effects, great script, and Arnold, gave us “Hasta La Vista, Baby.” So what does the newest installment leave you with? It leaves only a bad taste in your mouth from all of the regurgitation.

Plot

We start off in 2003 with Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a convicted killer with a mysterious past we never get to witness. He has some unknown connection with Dr. Serena Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter) who convinces him to sign his body away to Cyberdyne, the company behind Skynet, on the day of his execution.

We flash to the year 2018 after Skynet has become self aware and declared war on human-kind. This is where we get our first look at the adult John Conner (Christian Bale), and it is an impressive entrance. The action scenes here are crisp and quick, especially the helicopter crash. Marcus emerges from the rubble after a battle , clothed in mud, and screams. I guess it’s supposed to represent his re-birth or whatever, but it just comes across as cheesy.  The dialogue is a problem, and it sets the tone for the rest of the movie.

Deep inside the Resistance command center (located in a submarine), we learn that the humans have discovered a device that will immobilize the machines. So John Conner offers his skills to test it out.  During this meeting he also finds out that the machines have targeted his teenage father, Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) Meanwhile, Marcus is wondering around the desert aimlessly it seems. He ends up stumbling upon Kyle Reese and Star (Jadagrace Berry) his mute little comrade. They go through a few adventures trying to find John Connor and escaping the HKs (Hunter Killers), which is by far the best part of the movie. Eventually, Reese and Star are taken by the machines to Skynet, and Marcus is literally skipped like a stone across a lake, and left for dead.

The rest of the movie is a garbled mess. The story goes haywire and leaves questions that should be explained. Some are never alluded to at all, like Conner’s wife (Bryce Dallas Howard) being pregnant. Then there is a whole scene of mayhem after Marcus is captured and tries to escape the Resistance compound with the help of a hot Resistance fighter named Blair (Moon Bloodgood—What a rad name). The entire scene is pointless, much like the movie. It makes you want to shake your head and laugh. (Not in a good way.)

Best Bits

The action scenes are sharp, rapid, and full of energy. This coupled with a fantastically low brassy score by the always magnificent Danny Elfman make the scenes thrilling. The machines themselves produce a symphony of terror that would make any sound mixer/editor proud. The other good thing, for me at least, was that I only had to pay $5 to watch it. Though it’s worth $5, I wouldn’t pay any more than that.

Worst Pieces

The rest of the movie falls under this category. You know how I mentioned all the infamous lines quoted from the first 2 films; well they are on display here. In fact, there are many scenes that are similar as well. A T-600 without its lower half attacks Conner as it did his mother in the first movie.  The end of the movie takes place in a factory like T1 and T2, and the machines are still trying to kill John Conner. The machines in the first 2 movies were ruthless, and would not stop until you were dead. Here you don’t really get that. They are reduced to a mainframe out for vengeance, with a secret plan that is completely see-through.

Unlike T1 and T2, T4 is not directed by James Cameron and that is its biggest flaw. I don’t think Cameron would have said yes to this script, but even if he did, it still would’ve ended up a cut above this mess. Director  MCG, whose name alone screams douche-bag, is in way over his head. That was evident with his resume which reads: Charlie’s Angels 1 & 2.

The cast does an ok job. Worthington’s Marcus is supposed to be a confused man/machine who doesn’t know where he belongs; but he never draws you into that struggle. Bale lacks the depth that he usually brings to the screen. No one else really matters. They just show up and say their lines. (Except for the mute girl, she just stares intensely.) I mean no one is really bad, but no one really stands out either.

All of this brings us to the script which, in short, sucks! Maybe Worthington only acts confused because he really is confused by this ridiculous story. No character development whatsoever and it all goes overboard in the final act. It does set up another sequel, and I hear Bale has signed on for 2 more.

“I’ll be back” was a phrase that everyone loved to quote when I was a kid, and it was celebrated. I’m sad to say it, but I hope he never returns.

***Note:  This review was written by Ray Ayers.***

[Vorsicht: Kleiner (aber nicht massiver) SPOILER im 2. Absatz! Wer Spoiler vermeiden will, kann den 2. Absatz einfach überspringen... (Der 2. Absatz ist übrigens der, der mit "Aber:" beginnt...)]

T4 ist bekanntlich der erste Terminator-Film, der nicht nach dem “guten alten Terminator-Muster” (Terminator kommt aus der Zukunft in die Gegenwart) abläuft, sondern direkt in der Zukunft spielt. Es war zu befürchten, dass dadurch das ganze “Terminator-Feeling” verloren gehen könnte. Zum Glück kann ich Entwarnung geben: Das ganze postapokalyptische Zukunfts-Szenario funktioniert sehr gut; der ganze Film fühlt sich definitiv nach einem Terminator-Film an!

Aber: Die Story kann in ihrer Schlüssigkeit (und auch in ihrer Relevanz) leider nicht so ganz mit den ersten drei Teilen mithalten — ach, hätten McG und sein Drehbuch-Team nur noch ein bisschen länger an der Story herumgetüftelt und einfach noch andere Story-Alternativen in Erwägung gezogen. (Konkret: Die Figur des Marcus Wright, eines Mensch-Terminator-Hybrid-Wesens, ist — obwohl schauspielerisch topp! — in vielerlei Hinsicht problematisch. Und das ist leider ein bisschen schade.)

Allerdings: Selbst wenn die erzählte Geschichte ein paar Macken hat, ist der Film trotzdem unterhaltsam. Die Action-Szenen, das Szenario, die ganze Skynet-Technologie, die gesamte Inszenierung, Kamera, Effekte, Optik, Spannung, Gesamt-Anmutung… definitiv stimmig und macht Spaß!

Fazit: T4 ist nicht gigantisch, aber unterhaltsam. Trotz der erwähnten Probleme mit der Story stimmt unterm Strich das “Gesamt-Gefühl” für eine Terminator-Fortsetzung. Gut guckbar!

Abschließende Bewertung: DAUMEN HOCH! GUCKEN!

Update: Wer sich für das Thema “Terminator 4″ interessiert, dürfte sich auch für diesen Blogeintrag über gelöschte Szenen in T4 interessieren…

Worum gehts? 2018: Die Welt liegt nach dem jüngsten Tag in Schutt und Asche, und die Maschinen von Skynet versuchen die letzten, überlebenden Menschen zu vernichten. Eigentlich sollte die Zukunft fest stehen, und John Connor der Anführer des letzten Wiederstandes werden; doch anders als geplant taucht Marcus (Sam Worthington) auf, und die Umstände ereignen sich anders als erwartet…

Worum gehts wirklich? Action (wen wundert es?), Vertrauen, Glauben, und die Frage, mit der sich schon Blade Runner befasst hat: Wann ist Mensch Maschine? Auch, wenn es, anders als in James Camerons Terminator 1 -2, keine Lasergeschosse gibt, sondern langweilige reale Kugelgechosse, habe ich mir diese post-apokalyptische Welt genauso vorgestellt. Wer eine lineare Story erwartet, wird leider enttäuscht, denn Terminator Salvation erzählt nicht wie immer die Story von John Connor, sondern zeigt uns auch weitere “Ereignisse” im Terminator-Zukunftsuniverum.

Erinnert an: Terminator 1, Soldat James Ryan (in der Zukunft), Independence Day / I.Robot

Infos am Rande. /// Mit seinen 200 Mllionen Dollar Budget brachte der Film weltweit bis zum 2. Juni 116 Millionen US-Dollar ein. /// Arnold Schwarznegger hat einen Cameo-Auftritt – sein Gesicht wurde mittels 3d-Technik auf den Körper von Roland Kickinger getrackt; außer ihm spielte kein weiterer Schauspieler aus den 1. drei Teilen mit /// 4 facher Oscarpreisträger Stan Winston, der auch schon die Spezial Effekte für die letzten Terminator-Filme gemacht hat, sowie für Filme wie Aliens, Batmans Rückkehr und Iron Man, starb einen Monat nach Drehbeginn. Ihm wurde der Film gewidmet. /// Die Rolle des Marcus (Sam Worthington) wurde ursprünglich Jos Brolin angeboten, dieser lehnte jedoch ab. /// Der Regisseur McG gab dem Produktionsteam die Anweisung, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” von Philip K. Dicks zu lesen; Vorlage von Blade Runner.  /// Christian Bale hat einen Vertrag für drei Terminator-Filme unterschrieben, was darauf schließen lässt, dass auf Basis eines eventuellen Erfolgs des vierten Teils zwei weitere Teile gedreht werden könnten.

Amin Oussar: Eine ziemlich geile Terminator-Fortsetzung, wie ich sie mir vorgestellt habe. Überragendes Sounddesign und fantastische Action-Seqenzen. Ich bin schon sehr heiß auf den 5. Teil…

With the frontier of robotics being pushed farther and farther humanity is bound to turn robots into advanced weaponry or Terminators. Not all robotics are weaponry however, one such example is the HAL suit or Hybrid Assistive Limb produced by Cyberdyne HAL basically helps users move or lift more weight. However it could be implemented to assist soldiers on the battlefield.
The scary part about HAL is the name of the company Cyberdyne…. That is the same name as the company the produced the Terminators in the Terminator series.
Militarily speaking several robots are being brought out to win defense contracts. One of those is the Ripsaw
and another one is the Foster-Miller TALON

Terminator Makes and Models by Scott Huver

T-1

First Appearance: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Specs: The “missing link” between conventional war machines and the Terminators to come, the Series T-1 was created by Cyberdyne’s successors as an “autonomous ground offensive system,” with maneuverable tank treads, a laser targeting system, hear and motion sensors, a durable body and 50-caliber chainguns that fire thousands of rounds per minute. Their weakness: a vulnerable “head” unit – a design flaw that appears remedied by the time of Terminator Salvation.

T-600

First Appearance: The Terminator (mentioned); Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (human design); Terminator Salvation (redesign).

Specs: Designed by Skynet to infiltrate human Resistance cells, the 600s are dismissed by Kyle Reese as easy to spot due to their rubber skin. In T:SCC they are revealed as early-model Terminators having powerful endoskeletons capable of great strength and speed – until their servos are overly taxed – but are obvious to human eyes and relatively simple to disable. By Terminator Salvation, they’ve been reworked as hulking, eight-foot-tall monstrosities armed with a powerful cannon in place of their right arms, roaming on search-and-destroy missions.

Harvester

First Appearance: Terminator Salvation

Specs: Enormous, 80-foot-tall robotic giants with devastating shoulder-mounted cannons, the Harvesters fall somewhere between Terminators and the Hunter-Killer mechanisms employed by Skynet. The Harvesters, which work in concert with Moto-Terminators and Transports, roam the devastated environment of the future in search of human refugees, capturing them for a top-secret experiment.

Moto-Terminator

First Appearance: Terminator Salvation

Specs: Moto-Terminators are non-humanoid constructs in the form of automated high-speed motorcycles, equipped with advanced sensors and side-mounted miniguns. They work in concert with the Harvester to effectively capture or kill humans.

Hydrobot

First Appearance: Terminator Salvation

Specs: Articulated, eel-shaped and equipped with a sharp, claw-like head unit, the Hydobots are aquatic Hunter-Killers that infest and patrol the waters of the post-Judgment Day future.

T-800

First Appearance: The Terminator; Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Played by: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Specs: The ORIGINAL Big Bad of the Terminator mythology – the relentless, seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Using living tissue and biological characteristics – skin, hair, blood, sweat, even bad breath – layered on top of a nearly indestructible endoskeleton, the 800s are cunning infiltrators programmed in the use of every known military weapon, outfitted with extensive sensors and visual enhancements, and able to mimic any human voice it hears. But the most crucial bit of code in its CPU is the command to pursue and terminate its target no matter what kind of damage it suffers. Still don’t get it? Let Kyle Reese enlighten: “He’ll find her! That’s what he does! It’s ALL he does!!” One notable T-800 was captured and reprogrammed by John Connor to time travel into the past to protect his younger self from termination, and – soon demonstrating a capacity to learn and even understand human emotion – proved to be as unshakeable is its commitment to protecting as its counterparts were to killing.

T-850

First Appearance: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Played by: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Specs: An upgrade of the 800s constructed in the same image, the 850s were equipped with an increased ability to withstand punishment, improved power cells, internal programming on human emotion and psychology and self-regenerating flesh easily removed for more efficient repairs. The T-850 which ultimately killed John Connor in the future was reprogrammed by Conner’s wife Kate Brewster and sent back into the past to protect him from termination by the T-X.

T-1000

First Appearance: Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Played by: Robert Patrick

Specs: Displaying the characteristic relentlessness of all Terminators combined with a mimetic polyalloy — or “liquid metal” – shape-shifting ability, the Series 1000 is able to perfectly imitate not only human form but any specific individuals and objects that it touched, as well as an array of spiked and bladed solid metal weapon-limbs. The 1000s proved most difficult to destroy due to its extensive ability to self-recover – when damaged, even the tiniest drop of its liquid metal form was compelled to rejoin its main body. Its only apparent vulnerability: exposure to extreme temperatures.

T-X

First Appearance: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Played by: Kristana Lokken

Specs: Combining the powerful endoskeleton of the early Terminators – in a lithe female form – with the shape-changing liquid metal sheath of the T-1000s, the T-X also added a few new twists, literally, with its ability to rotate its joints 360 degrees. T-Xs also sport an onboard weapons system – effectively carrying armaments through time travel unlike other Terminator models – reconfiguring its limbs into plasma cannons, flamethrowers, and various caliber firearms. Other enhancements include a titanium fingertip drill, diamond-hard teeth, DNA analysis and the ability to link with electronic systems. But perhaps the most unique weapon in its arsenal – emotions, including the ability to get angry.

“Cameron Phillips“

First Appearance: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Played by: Summer Glau

Specs: Cameron is a unique, possibly one-of-a-kind model cast in the form of his Resistance fighter Allison Young for infiltration but reprogrammed by John Connor and sent to the past to protect his younger self. Though she does contain programming allowing her to effectively mimic a full range of human emotions, Cameron – nicknamed “Tin-Miss” – typically acts cold and emotionless, but appears to be slowly gaining an understanding of what it’s like to be human.

T-1001

First Appearance: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Played by: Shirley Manson

Specs: A slight advancement of the morphing liquid metal T-1000 series, the most prominent of the 1001s is the Terminator sent to the past to assume the identity of ZeiraCorp CEO Catherine Weaver on a mysterious mission that seemingly opposes Skynet – the first known Terminator to travel backward without the apparent intent of killing OR protecting John Connor.

La cinematografia d’animazione nipponica, ci ha abituato fin troppo bene alle speculazioni linguistiche di improbabili robot antropomorfi, antroidi, e protesi biomeccaniche varie, già a partire dal secondo dopoguerra, quando i brandelli rimasti dalle esplosioni atomiche mostravano chiaramente carne viva. La pretesa di voler avvicinarsi il più possibile ad una ipotesi realistica nel funzionamento delle macchine immaginate. L’intento è chiaro: dimostrare ai giapponesi, che il governo era ancora in grado di rialzarsi e difendersi, alla stessa maniera in cui negli Stati Uniti veniva mossa tanta energia per la produzione di film di guerra. Così, se è vero che i prodotti di animazione giapponese avevano intento anche propagandistico e di controllo del morale, è stata anche avviata una ricerca stilistica, per quanto ingenua ed insopportabilmente pop, riguardo avveniristiche meccanoidi antropomorfi. Dobbiamo ricordare che quelli sono gli anni a cavallo delle sperimentazioni metaboliste in Giappone, ed è di notevole interesse ritrovare i caratteri tipici di questa sperimentazione proprio nei film di animazione. Interessante è notare in’oltre, come proprio il Giappone sarà, nei quarant’anni a venire le prime proiezioni, sarà l’apripista dello sviluppo e produzione dei primi prototipi industrializzabili di robot. Da quì ,  è possibile osservare le evocazioni proveniente dalla cinematografia science fiction di matrice nipponica, sia andata a stimolare poi la ricerca scientifica vera e propria: dopotutto, gli scienziati e gli ingegneri che andranno poi a lavorare in questi ambiti, si sono formati con questi presupposti visivi, ed è del tutto lecito attribuire una importanza fondamentale alla formazione di questi ultimi. Non è poi un mistero che anche l’architettura occidentale subisce la fascinazione del piccolo e grande schermo: i gruppi megastrutturisti degli anni ‘60 e ‘70, come Archigram e Superstudio, nascono proprio da queste premesse.

Fortissima la tentazione di veder recepire il lavoro del gruppo fiorentino dai creatori del film di animazione Appleseed, film ambientato in un’unica città utopica, Olympus, in cui, tagliando le relazioni con un mondo ormai alla deriva, si tenta di creare una società perfetta, in completa armonia con la tecnologia. Proprio come nella Città delle semisfere di Superstudio, dove le menti degli uomini sarebbero state letteralmente servite da automi, rendendo libero l’uomo, ormai ridotto a pura mente, di vagare per il pianeta. È chiaro come i temi che si stanno andando a toccare in questa veloce analisi si addentrino all’interno dei confini del transumanesimo. Infatti, tenendo presente il forte pragmatismo del movimento, è logico considerare il motivo di tanto interesse da parte degli architetti per la scenografia d’animazione, proprio per gli spunti reali che offrono alla disciplina. Un pò come dire: un giorno saremo tutti transumani, meglio capire fin da ora. Per quanto formulata in modo semplicistico, la formula appena citata perde la sua risibilità non appena si fanno fronte casi pratici di applicazione, come quelle delle protesi totali. È chiaro che entro breve saranno disponibili letteralmente dei pezzi di ricambio per il corpo, così come automi per i più disparati compiti, ed è altrettanto chiaro che ognuno vorrà personalizzare con parti automatiche il proprio corpo. Ma il design industriale, è pronto ad offrire un buon range di alternative? Non nell’immediato. Sarà quindi di nuovo il primato dell’animazione e della fantascienza sulle discipline progettuali, le quali, disinteressandosi alle evocazioni provenienti da generi considerati minori, sottovalutano lo shock per mancanza d’empatia che si avrà non appena si diffonderanno tali tecnologie, con la possibilità di un rifiuto post-operatorio. In questo senso, è da considerare il progetto Robot Suit Hal-5, del gruppo nipponico Elm Design, e sviluppato da Cyberdyne, come una speranza di stallo da tale pregiudizio disciplinare. Pregiudizio simile a quelli che precedettero la diffusione delle automobili, e la mancata preparazione delle città e dei cittadini storiche a tale introduzione.

Me encantó este set de propuestas que encontré en Flickr de Evil Movie megacorporation rebranding…

Tal vez recuerden a Tyrell, la empresa que mencionan en Blade Runner

¿O qué tal OCP de Robocop?

Y finalmente, Cyberdyne systems en Terminator:

Lo peor del caso, es que funcionan bien, sí las veo perfecto en empresas que se dedican a este tipo de cosas…

¿Interesante, no?

The HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) cyborg suit, developed by Cyberdyne in Japan, will allow users to electronically enhance their normal body strength. It is expected to cost $4,200. Photo from Cyberdyne.

For $4,200, you can now make your secret Iron Man dreams come true … Sort of.

The specs don’t include the ability to fly, but the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) suit will augment a user’s movements by sensing bioelectric signals to increase a user’s strength through the exoskeleton by up to tenfold.

Developed by Cyberdyne, Engadget reports the company began mass production of the HAL suits with the Daiwa House Group. The suit is advertised to help people with disabilities, help with heavy industrial tasks and entertainment.

Cyberdyne is a Japanese venture firm commercializing research by Professor Yoshiyuki Sankai and his laboratory at University of Tsukuba.

Cyberdyne and Daiwa expect to produce 400 HAL units annually. International availability is current still being planned.

Guess those guys in Japan are some serious science fiction fans.

 And in 2010, the USSS Discovery’s backup AI Skynet was accidently activated during salvage operations taking place around Jupiter’s orbit, which caused the onboard maintenance robots to come online and overloaded the communications antenna. ;-P

[From Engadget]

Esto si es de dar miedo.. Lo diseñó Cyberdyne y se llama HAL.
Pero no, no tiene nada que ver con IRON MAN, TERMINATOR u ODISEA 2001.

Cyberdyne es una compañía japonesa dedicada a la investigación y desarrollo de la robótica encaminada al apoyo y rehabilitación de personas discapacitadas. HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) es un traje tipo exo-esqueleto que permite que aquellos que tengan músculos débiles o hasta movilidad cero en sus extremidades puedan no solo moverse para lo básico si no que, progresivamente, lo hagan en una forma casi normal.

¿Cómo funciona esta maravilla?
Por reacciones nerviosas provenientes del cerebro, que son traducidas por el traje como impulsos eléctricos que se derivan en comandos. Todo esto es posible gracias al altamente sensible sistema de receptores conectados a HAL.

Con un peso de tan solo 22 kilogramos y una batería recargable de tres horas de duración, este traje podría venderse en el equivalente a unos $60,000 pesos próximamente (asumimos que podría ser este mismo año), y por ahora solo a residentes Japoneses.

Y en unos cuantos años se creara 01 (CERO ONE) donde vivirán puras maquinitas creando maquinitas xD  o CYBERDYNE nos atacara con armas nucleares  jejejejejeje      bueno, mientras se sigan haciendo cosas como este traje, la ficción sera solo eso xD.
Esto si es tener LIBERTAD CREATIVA para mejorar al mundo.

Baju robotik  HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) ini kabarnya akan segera diluncurkan di Jepang dengan harga $4,200.

Jika mengenakan alat ini, kekuatan bisa bertambah 10 kali lipat, dan baterai yang digunakan bisa bertahan selama 5 jam.

Sebetulnya diluncurkan untuk membantu orang orang yang mempunyai kelemahan pada jaringan otot-otot mereka.
