3D Picture Discussion

Picture Discussion: weiting (12)

This picture describes a scene of a mechanical robot seem to have been taken in some kind of open day or some kind of science exhibitions. Obviously, this is happening outside as we can clearly see that the robot is moving along concrete to pick up what looks like a can of soft drink. That’s partly what makes me think of some kind of show because I’m sure that this robot cannot have been designed just to pick up a can of soft drink, especially when a soldier appears to be operating it. He can be seen in uniform behind it.

The other thing that makes me says is some kind of exhibition as the number of people standing around and at the background; they could also be looking at another exhibit. I think robots of any kind have some fascination for us because they are trending creatures, don’t you think so? The little boy at the centre is studying the machine intensely. He's probably trying to figure out how the robot moves along the concrete floor and how the arm can stretch out to pick up the can. The boy seems to be fascinated by the robot because his head is tilted to show him studying the machine, as he stands still with his hands in his pocket, a model of concentration.

There seem to be some kind of video camera attach to the arm so that it can see where it's going. i think this could have been invented, you know, to work in a hostile environment, perhaps on the moon. Although I'm not really sure whether it would worked out smoothly. The main part have the appearance of a mini tag as a belt runs over the wheels to drive it forward. I can't say exactly how it can turn in order to make it move but i presumed the fact that the front and rear wheels operates separately.

Some of the adults seems quite relaxed about it all from their postures. a couple at the top left of the picture are an example of that. The boys which i mention earlier on is more interested than his sister although she too is following the movements of the robot. I think the man at the top right is explaining something about the robot to his son. perhaps the people at the background have already watch this performance and have moved on. When the parents have decided to bring their children, they had hoped to get them interested in science.

While this picture could have been taken in Singapore, i think that's unlikely. the people look and dress differently from those in Singapore. the boy on the right could be of Hispanic origin. Furthermore, the soldiers in the background is not wearing a uniform that a Singapore Armed Forces soldier would wear. Given these facts, i think it's more likely that this picture was taken in the united States or Europe.

It is difficult to tell all their reactions because many of the faces have been cut off in the picture.
This picture has clearly shown that the technology has propelled the world forward inexorably and has improved our quantity of life greatly. technology continues empowering our lifes and we should not let them have some ways to take over the world and end up destroying ourselves.
