for the movie gravity, bot & dolly senior producer said the special effects team viewed the 1951 film, royal wedding. in the live action bit, song and dance man, fred astaire, dances on the ceiling. the effect, with a set rotating around mr. astaire, embodied a lesson in weightlessness. for gravity, the team rotated projection mapping on screens guided by robots around the actors. the film garnered seven oscars, including best director for alfonso cuaron and best visual effects.

More robots!

Robotic systems continue to evolve, slowly penetrating many areas of our lives, from manufacturing, medicine and remote exploration to entertainment, security and personal assistance. Developers in Japan are currently building robots to assist the elderly, while NASA develops the next generation of space explorers, and artists are exploring new avenues of entertainment. I really can't wait for my robotic personal assistant.
