Hey Sick Kids, It's Probo!

April 27th, 2009 | 03:06 pm
 
There are a few really subtle things that I love about this video.  First of all, this robot is supposed to cheer up sick kids in the hospital, but the only face it makes is the same face I made when I was eleven and my brother told me my dad got a vasectomy after I was born because I was a mistake.  Just, confused, and a lot of blinking, then sadness and shame.
 
Secondly, I love that the guy who made the robot goes "I was watching 'I, Robot' and I thought, I should make one."  Now I can go ahead and say a phrase I've been dying to say for three years, but never had the opportunity, namely "There's two kinds of people in this world: people who have been inspired by I, Robot, and people who haven't."  Thank you very much, sir.
 
And lastly, if you're going to make a creepy robot to hang around with kids, maybe don't call him "probo."  That sounds like he runs on some kind of battery system that can only be charged up by touching kids in their bathing suit areas.

    With our “Hug the day” campaign, where we will give away 2000 unique cuddles of the huggable robot to children,
    we are launching our first joint initiative.

    You or your company can help us

    The Anty Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to improve the life circumstances of vulnerable children. Apart from organizing diverse events, our objective is to develop a huggable robot for hospitalized children. This fits perfectly within our vision of placing technology at the service of children.
