With holiday season in full swing it can be easy to miss vital updates like these suspiciously cheery robo-greetings. Whether you're a luddite skeptic or AI evangelist, this set of festive computerized demonstrations will keep you from thinking about the inevitable fade of human relevance.
If you think your mom/local bartender serves the best mulled wine, you might be shocked by the thoughtful hospitality of this robot, programmed by ArtiMinds:
The FZI Living Lab take on holiday baking felt a little close to home. I don't appreciate too many cooks in my kitchen, even if one of them IS an adorable helper robot with soulful eyes and limited kneading experience.
What would Christmas look like if it was spearheaded by a robotic letter writer, with presents delivered by drone, and Rudolph replaced with a Boston Dynamics-esque Big Dog? Ask Autonomous Systems Lab and the Robotic Systems Lab.
So keep your holiday spirits up and your eyes on the skies. Like Santa, robots work all year round.
