Robot Hall of Fame

According to this press release, Carnegie Mellon University now has a Robot Hall of Fame:

The Robot Hall of Fame was established earlier this year to honor noteworthy robots, both real and fictional, along with their creators in recognition of the increasing benefits robots are bringing to society.

I think it is really neat that they are treating people who create fictional robots and people who create real-world robots as equals. Maybe someday, I'll write a story about a robot, and everyone will love my little robot character, and he/she will get to be in the Robot Hall of Fame. In my world, the Robot Hall of Fame is infinitely cooler than other halls of fame like the baseball one, or even the rock and roll one.



The Robot Hall of Fame's website will go live on November 10th, during the inauguration ceremony.



(I'm getting too robo-centric again, aren't I? I have to try harder to expand my electric horizons.)
