Robots! With Shalyn Bass-McFaul.

from Monstrology · host Will King

Will and Madryn study the machinations of Robots! We uncover the duck that started it all, the evolution of modern computing, Rossum's Universal Robots, a variety of trailblazing (and sometimes chain-smoking) prototypes, Asimov’s Laws of Robotics, and the future of AI companionship. Plus, robots have a ton of pop culture! We talk iconic robot DJs, Killbots, Scifi classics, Apex-machines, and more. Finally, we’re joined by Esira (Shalyn Bass-McFaul) who talks us through her programming, her origin at Wikilabs, and the future of humanity. Please don’t become Hal-9000.
