I've invented a new phrase (well I think it's original), probably doomed to only ever to be uttered by myself, Robotic-ism. It's to show love and express a little bit of the thrill that I experience for bio-mechanical engineering, or just Robotics. I distinctly remember my introduction to robotics via the films Metropolis and Aliens, which both featured uber-hot robotic suits. Then this week sees the UK release of epic computer game Deus Ex Human Revolution, of which a central theme is cybernetic limbs and human augmentation. Now this post could easily turn into a whole PhD, and to keep it clean and simple, I am going to show-case five prime Robotic-ism moments:
1. Deus Ex Human Revolution E3 2010 Trailer [HD]
It's 2027 and time of great innovation and technological advancement. It's also a time of chaos and conspiracy..... Check out this trailer for a prequel to what is considered the 'Best PC Game of All Time.'
2. Iron Man Suiting Up
3. 'Get Away From Her You .....' Ripley in her Loader Suit in Aliens
4. Maria's Transformation in Metropolis (filmed in 1927)
5. And then Sometimes They Are Just All Wrong
Finally, the Perfect Woman called Lisa
Okay, then it gets a bit weird. In researching this piece, I discovered the story about two Japanese engineers who have designed the perfect woman, brilliantly named Lisa. Whilst I am more interested in the bio-mechanical side of things, I suppose there is that Bladerunner-esque android market out there. However, I do find it a bit creepy and definitely not Robotic-ism. Check her out. What do you think?
