Can technology talk to you? Can technology play along? The robots of the movies, are they possible in today's technology filled world?
Watch this video and answer the questions below:
Here is information about the Lamp from the creators of the video:
Pinokio is an exploration into the expressive and behavioural potentials of robotic computing. Customized computer code and electronic circuit design imbues Pinokio with the ability to be aware of its environment, especially people, and to expresses a dynamic range of behaviour. As it negotiates its world, we the human audience can see that Lamp shares many traits possessed by animals, generating a range of emotional sympathies. In the end we may ask: Is Pinokio only a lamp? – a useful machine? Perhaps we should put the book aside and meet a new friend.

Well to me i thought it was not going to be possible. I cant think of something that can interact with people but im sure theres a few. I think in the future there will be robots. I thought this video was cool a lamp movivng omg.
I thought a robotic lamp was possible to make because on Nova they show robot nannies for old people. We could make robot back packs that unpack themselves. Yes, I do think we could have full robot soon because on Nova they had a robot man who you could have a conversation with. I think the lamp was sort of like a dog!
When I saw the video about Pinokio I thought to myself that I really had never expected a Robotic lamp. When I see Pinokio and all of the other robots that people have made it means we are many steps closer to our goals of making full robots that move and interact with people. I think that Pinokio was probably overall a very hard project.

I honestly thought it impossible to turn a regular lamp into a robot. I can definitely imagine something else that can be turned into a robot,a computer. Yes, I think this video proves that in the future, we will have full robots. Over all I am amazed that this regular lamp can be turned into a robot.
I have never really thought about robotic lamps. I guess if I had actually thought about them, before they were invented, I would believe it was possible to be designed. I think that other objects like robotic couches, desks, or even fish could be made after a lamp was robotically tested to become a robotic lamp. I think that we already have robots in the military, and some on TV shows, but Pinokio is still cool. We will probably have more advanced robots, like cooks or teachers soon. Overall, this was a really cool video, and only one question comes to mind: What country invented Pinokio?
No, I did not think that a robotic lamp would be possible to make. I think that a robotic computer could be made to move and ineract with people. I believe that this means that we will have full robots soon. Over all, I think that a robotic lamp is pretty cool, especially since it likes attention, though I was pretty surprised when I saw the video.
To be true I did not know that a robotic lamp was possible. I think maybe that a mixer could be like a robotic lamp and interact with people. I think that in the future they will invent full robots. My overall feelings about this video was WOW I did not think this was possible in this time, I maybe thought that it was possible in the future but not now. Last I thought that it was cool that when the man tried to turn her off she pressed the on button again.
I think a robotic lamp is very possible with motors and a computer i'm sure it can be done.
There are many objects that interact with people. For example when i'm typing my computer fixes my grammer, and spelling.
It was a cool video. That made the lamp act like a human. Happy Easter have a great time off !
I would of never thought that it would be possible to create a robotic lamp. I think that maybe some objects such as couches, computers, chairs, and etc. can be made into robotic objects. Maybe we will have full robots but I do not think it will any time soon. When I saw this video it reminded me of my grandmother's pet dog because her dog is very attentive like Pinkio is.
I didn’t think it was possible to make a robotic lamp, but I did think it was possible to make something else that was robotic. I think the parts of a computer and TV, somebody can use to make something that moves, or interacts with people. Yes, I do think there will be full robots, that are like humans, in the future. Overall I think the Pinokio video was funny, cool, and awesome.
Yes, I have thought about a robotic lamp but not this cool. I think a robotic sofa could be made to move and interact with people. I do think that there will be full robots soon just around the corner. Over all the video was cool. The lamp was just amazing seeing it move like that when I saw the video.
Beatrice P.
NO,I did not think that it was possible to make a robotic lamp. I think that other objects such as computers could interact with people. Yes this dose probably mean we will have full robots soon. Over all I think this was a cool and funny video.
No, I did not think about robotic lamps before.
No I do not think we’re going to have full robots soon, because it would take a lot of work and patience. Maybe we’ll have them by 2028.
Yes, I do think that other objects like cars, toy pets and calculators can be made to move and interact with people.
My overall thoughts are that I think Pinokio is funny and smart, because he does not want to be put to sleep and he wants to play with the human. I think technology is amazing and it can be used for fun and to help people with disabilities.
I actually never would have thought that a robot that interacts with people would be possible to make (despite the fact that there are already some robots). Now that I saw Pinokio I actually don't doubt the thought of full robots because Pinokio had really high-tech and complex thinking. I could see how it interacted with the man. It could mean that we will have full robots but not until sometime in 9000(random guess). When I saw the video I was very surprised because I mean this was CRAZY!
HIGH TECH AWESOMENESS.
Well to me it was not possible. I think other objects such as laptops could interact with people. I also think that there are going to be robots in the future. I think. When I saw this video i was really creep out because i didnt know that people can invent a object that can move. HAVE A HAPPY SUMMER BREAK!!!!
No, I never thought a robotic lamp was possible to make. I don’t think there is another object that can be made to move and interact with people. I believe that there will be full robots someday, but not anytime soon. This is the first time I have seen something like this, so to me it looked crazy and impossible to make.
I did think it was possible before it was invented. I was even thinking about how improve a lamp, but it would still work the way it was originally designed. We already had robots and other machinery that worked by itself. It was most likely it would happen.
I think other objects can interact with people. For instance: a toy, a tablet, even a ipad.
I do think we all will have robots in the future. As to be helpful and to talk with if you don't have to talk with anybody.
I thought everything was really cool.
I never knew that a lamp could turn into a robot . I tought that a pinoko was something else but it is a webcam that likes people giving him attenion he hears sounds. Now that i know that a lamp could turn into a robot. Maybe other things could turn into a robot
HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK
I think this video was amazing because people were able to create a fully automatic robot lamp that can interact with people. I definitely thought that people could eventually make a robotic lamp and I also think that it is possible for people to create other robotic machines.

If I had thought about robotic lamps before they had been made I would have thought they were possible. I didn't think about them before they were made, and now I know they are possible.I think this means that soon we will have a lot of robots. I think one of the hard thing about making robots is that they have to figure out what is happening around them. Pinokio seems to be able to do that.
The video was weird.I felt very puzzled because I have never seen something like that before. The robot looks like it took months and
weeks to make.The robot looks like it is made of a lamp,metal, circuits and wires.I think that there will be more robots soon because in the future people become more creative.
No,I never thought a roboitc lamp was poissible to make. Yes, I think a robotic pencil/pen can be made to interact with people because it can write my ideas for me. All I have to do is speak my thoughts into it and it can write them for me. I think robots will soon come because technology is improving everyday. My thoughts and reactions to this video were amazing, shocking, suprising and very very cool. I watched it more than three times because it was unbelievable to see the Pinokio interact like a dog. It was awsome to see how they use science in such a cool way.
Yes, I think the robotic lamp was possible to make. Yes, other objects can be made like a robotic arm. Yes, this means we'll have full robots soon. I thought the video was cool because the robotic lamp does not want to go a sleep.
I liked both the robot and the video. I think it was very hard but possible to make the robot Pinokio. I think there will probably be robots in the future that will be full robots that can see and talk. I think that other things that could be like Pinokio could be a pencil that could have perfect handwriting or a boat that could steer it's own motor.

I never thought that a robotic lamp was possible to make. Now that I've seen one I think there can be another robot that interacts with people, that can be made. Like a window, you can click a button and it opens. I think this means that there will be full robots soon. I think so because robotic technology is getting better everyday. I thought that Pinokio would just be a regular lamp when I saw the picture at the beginning. But, I found out it was a robotic lamp that likes attention, and interacts with people. I actually think the video though, was cool.
Personally, I thought the robot was kind of annoying. If I were to sit down and read I would just want a light, not something that thrives for attention. I don't think that there will be full robots soon. I find that a full robot would be very hard to make and Pinokio was just the first step. I think robotic action figures would be cool! If you had a good guy action figure and a bad guy action figure they could battle and entertain you!
I think that robotic lamps are possible to make, because now we have alot of technology, and lots of people that come up with creative ideas and inventions. In my opinion, I think we will not have robots soon, because robots are very hard to create and will take lots of time. What would be interesting to create would be transformer robots. I would love to see transformer figures transform into cars. That would be awesome!! :)
When I saw the video of Pinokio, I was amazed at how fast our world in technology is progressing. It is amazing, at how fast we went from candle light to interactive robots. I never really thought about a robotic lamp. But now I see that it's possible to make-in fact, I could make it out of legos. I think that other objects will be able to interact in a short time, like a coffee maker, and cars are merging on that technology. However, I don't think that we'll have full robots soon. Or, at least they won't be a common household object. All in all, I was amazed by this video, and am curious about the description. When I saw both, I was amazed by our technology today.

I think is not possible to make a robotic lamp.i cant really think of a robotic object.i think there will be robotic objects in the future.i think the video is cool.i have never seen a robotic object.
I thought the video was interesting because a lamp can not respond in human ways. I thought that lamps could one day act in a human-like ways, though. I think there will be robotic objects in the future.
I thought that a robotic lamp would not be possible. Now that I've seen one I think in the future there will be a lot of robots.Also I think they'll be able to interact with people because if a lamp could so can others.Overall this was a very silly video of how the lamp didn't like to be turned off.When I saw the video I thought it was a remote controlled toy.
Did I ever think a robotic lamp was possible to make? No! I did not think it was possible! It is shaped like an everyday lamp, but reacted when the man tried to shut it off, it turned it's self back on. This shows me the lamp has feelings. Also when the man was ignoring the lamp, it tried to get his attention and read the mans facial exprssions.
I think this robot is cool. After what I saw in the video, I think we will be able to create new inventions and more useful technology, in the future.
When I saw the video I felt that our technology has changed a lot in the past century. I think that people could build a interactive lamp robot if they tried. I think that many objects could become robots, for instance, a typewriter.I think this video might mean that we will have full robots soon. I thought this video gave the slightest bit of hope for robots in the future.
Marvin H.
Wow, technology has changed a lot, from computers as big as tennis fields to objects turned into a robot. I think we can turn many objects into robots, if we can turn a lamp into a robot we might be able to turn objects into full size robots. I think it is amazing that we have gave a lamp human and animal traits. I think this was super hard yet possible for us humans. I can imagine a door that instead of a key it will scan your hand and either recognizes you and opens a door or does not and locks. I think that this video was amazing and that the future is yet to come.
All along, I never really thought that it was possible to make a robotic lamp. I was blown away when I saw the one in the video. I think that maybe objects like couches and desks could be made into objects that could interact with people. Now that I know a robotic lamp is possible, I think that more robots will be created. But they need to be aware of movements, and sounds, just like Pinokio. This video makes me see that a robotic lamp is possible. Overall, I thought that Pinokio was an amazing robot.
I never thought of a robotic lamp, but if i did i would think it is possible because in japan there are lots of robots, and i watch a show called Robot Combat League
were real robots fight. i also think more robots can be made because in japan there are million dolor androids.
i don't think we have full robots now but we will have full robots soon, i say this because the robots talk about can react, but not very well. my thoughts are that with a little more work this robot will be able to recognize that when a person puts his hands over his face its still him and also recognize him.
I never thought a robotic lamp would be possible to make. Now I think it is possible to make inventions like this after watching the video. I think there can be other machines that interact with people such as speakers that interact with people. This must mean that we will have full robots soon. I thought the video was cool. I thought the description was really descriptive and wordy.
HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!
I was in between whether a robot like Pinokio could be built. I think other objects that could be built into robots like Pinokio would be a printer a hardrive (The big kind) and a pair of glasses. IT may mean we'll have full robots soon, I really don't know.My reactions were "Wow, this is incredible!" and " Is this REALLY real?"
Personally I never thought a robotic lamp was possible to make because of its technology and how much is involved. I think that a Lego man should move and interact with people because it wold be cool for them to move instead of you having to move it.To me this doesn't mean we will have full robots because of the technology that will have to go into it. My reactions and thoughts to the video are ,are robots possible to make and do they act like humans a lot? Overall it does look very exciting to make something that can move!!!
At first I didn't think that robots were possible until I saw Pinokio. I think that now scientists have made one robot they will make more and more. One object That I think we could use as a robot is small table because it is standing up and it would be easy to put wires in it. I was really amazed at the video because I never thought that could happen.
Never in all my life did I think a robot lamp would be possible, this may be a sign that full working robots will be in the future. If this robot can turn itself on then it might be able to interact with us. When I saw this video my thought was "Wow just wow"! I think that also a camera could be a part of Pinokio.
Yes I do, because you can take an old lamp and put sensors, a camera, and a computer chip.
Yes, a machine with solar panels on the sides and a switch on the back it is associated with travelers it also has all terrain wheels.
I don’t know put it is possible.
It’s exciting to see to see it and if it is real in person.
I never thought you can make a lamp change into a robot.It was cool because it watches you.I also like it because it never wants to go to sleep.
Miguel GONZALEZ
when I saw the video about Pinokio i guess if i had actually thought about them,before they were invented i would believe it was possible to designed.I think this video was amazing i wish i could have have a robotic lamp its so cool and i think they will be robotic in the future.
I never really thought about if a robotic lamp was possible to create. But now, after seeing Pinokio, I think that many inventions like Pinokio can be built.
I also think that other objects could be made to move and interact. For example, we could take a random household item and make it interact maybe by sounds or movements.
I don't think that we'll have full robots anytime soon because they have to be thought out, planned and designed. And they will probably cost a lot of money to make.
Over all I enjoyed watching Pinokio because it was interesting to see how the robot knew what was going on and could communicate. I liked the part when Pinokio kept turning itself back on after it was turned off.
No I did not know a robotic lamb was possible to make. Actually i'm not sure if other objects are possible to make because that was one of a kind right. Well it doesn't mean we will have full robots soon, well just have to take our chances about that. I think that the creator was pretty clever and taking lots of notes for how to build the robotic lamb or he (just built it from scrap).
I think it was awesome that a lamp could do that.I think the next thing they are going to make a robot into is a oven. the only thing that is uncool or should change is how it turns it self on again after you turn it down
I always knew that pretty soon there would be robots. The thought crossed my mind once in a while, but I never really imagined the robot would be a lamp, and that the lamp would have a personality though.
I would deffinately like to have a robot dog, and I do think there should be a robotic backpack that came with a robotic pen, and a robot book works too.
If we have gotten this far, I expect full robots in the future, but I do like the ones that are objects better because they would aren't as creepy.
At first when i saw the video, I thought it must be a fake, but I started to really believe it as the video went on. Pinokio reminded me alot of my cat when she was a bit younger.
I did think a robotic lamp was possible to make, but I didn't expect one like this! I think a robotic scooter or bike would be cool to try out. If we are patient and do lots of research, we might have full robots in a couple of years. I had different reactions to this video and one of them was 'wow'. Technology like this is advanced, and maybe most people in the U.S. will get them soon.
I say that technology can sometimes talk to a person because sometimes when a person gets bored, the technology starts to tell you "come, come play with me." "I will always be hear."
I thought it was pretty amazing that a person could actually make an invention that cool and a lamp could actually do that. Pinokio is kind've like a human because the lamp is so thin and I can't believe a person could fit pieces inside that lamp. When I think of robots I think they are big and fat but this robot is small and thin. I think robots will be in the future but in a long time in the future because robots cost a lot of money to make.
First of all, I would never even think up the idea of making the "pixar lamp" (robotic lamp) come to life. I think if I could build robots I would have built a better one like a star wars robot (R2-D2).
Yes, I do believe that other robots could move and interact with humans. We already have some full robots (human sized) at robotics stations. My friend saw a video that a standing robot was walking up the stairs.
Overall, I think the creators of Pinokio have made a creative robot. In the video, Pinokio wants attention and he cranes his neck when the teenager starts reading the book. Making a robot have feelings is a hard thing to do and I was surprised by that.
I thought it was possible to make the robot lamp, because there are other robots in the world. I think there can be objects that can interact with people such as a toaster. Maybe there will be full robots soon. Overall I think that robots are definitely real and can be improved.
I think Pinokio is very unique. I'm not surprised that a robotic lamp was invented. Though its most unique feature that did shock me is that it has emotions!This robot proves we are one step closer to the future!
I did not think it was possible to make the robotic lamp. Another item to make like the robotic lamp can be a robot or an computer. It could mean we will have full robots. I think is video was AWESOME and COOL. That is what I thought about the video.
I thought making a robotic lamp would be impossible to make. Now that I've seen it is possible, I think it would be possible that other objects could soon become robots, too. This might mean there will be robots soon. Over all, I thought the video and the description were both really cool and interesting. I loved it.
I did think it was possible to create such a thing, but I didn't think of a robotic lamp. I do think that other objects could interact with people, maybe a fridge. I do think there will be full robots, but maybe not too soon. Overall my reactions to this video were amazement and disbelief at first.
I think Pinokio is amazing. I can't believe a robotic lamp can actually think for itself. Technology is getting crazy these days. Who knows; maybe when I grow older, robots will be everywhere doing everything. I don't really understand what the creators are saying in the paragraph after the video but it seems pretty cool.I think they were saying that Pinokio is the start to a whole new world of technology. And again I think Pinokio is a masterpiece.
I have never thought it possible to make a robotic lamp until I saw this video. I think people can make robotic pets for people. In Scholastic News I have seen robots that look like humans, so yes I do think it is possible to have full robots. Over all I thought the video and description were quite amazing.
When I first started watching Pinokio I would have never expected the black lamp to be a robot. I think Pinokio is really cute, especially how he like attention and was upset when the guy was looking at a book. He was funny when he kept turning himself back on when the guy would turn him off. I think this could mean that we will have full robots in our near future, the ipads could be the next robot! Who knows what Steve Jobs could have invented if he had not died. I loved the video and would love to had a lamo like that in my room. :)
Thais Mondesir Collins
I never thought it was possible to see a robot lamp, yes I do think it's possible to have robots but not robot lamps. I do agree that there can have robots as robot pets . Also robots they can send to other planets . So yes I think robot could be all over the world.
Matthew Rosa
Yes! I thought making a robotic lamp was possible. Actually I thought it was possible to make a robot out of every electrical thing. I thought it was possible because robotics and electricity work excellent together.
Some objects that can be interactive and move like robots are vacuums, a waffle iron and a hamper. An ATM machine is already considered a full robot. It takes the place of a teller at the bank. I’ve read about a robot named Ash. He fights fires with special powers like shooting powder at fire.
I think that it was amazing how the robot had a mind of its own. I also thought it was funny when the robot didn’t go to sleep.
At first I never though that robots as extraordinary as this robot that could hear sounds and does not like to be turned off. This is very mind blowing that this robot is curious about things all around him. I cant believe that he gets suspicious when he could not see your face.
My first thought about Pinokio is that it was really cool and I wish I had one. I just read about a full robot that will be able to help fireman take out fires. I think maybe it would be cool to have a clock or alarm interact with you, so when it woke you up in the morning it could tap you on the shoulder and say “Good Morning Shane”. I think robots will be working as soldiers soon in the Army and they are making an Alpha dog robot that can carry 400 pounds.
Thomas Gibbins
When I fist saw Pinokio I thought it was just an ordinary lamp. Then it started moving. I read an article about a robotic snake that found people in earthquakes and then told rescuers where they were so they could save them. I think a robotic chair that massaged your back every time you sat in it would be nice.
I never thought that it could be possible to make a robotic lamp. After watching Pinokio I now know that other objects such as a soup cans or a chair can be turned into a robot. I personally think that full robots will be created very soon! I thought the video was a bit funny, amazing, and cute. Also, I loved it!
I never really thought about a robotic lamp. It's so random! It would be cool if they created a camera that you could talk to and tell it to take a picture and it would do so on its own. It would be kind of creepy, but cool, to continue and greaten the idea of artificial intelligence. Overall, I think that the Pinokio video was really cool but still a bit creepy.
