The Robot Hall of Fame has been quite popular with its fictional bots but this year, the jury of 25 roboticists has chosen more real bots than fictional ones, including the LEGO Mindstorms (shown above), the NAVLAB 5, the Raibert Hopper, and Mr. Data . It was pretty expected to see Mindstorm and Data in the list but the jury also honored NAVLAB 5, a robotic Oldsmobile Silhouette for its journey from Pittsburgh to San Diego way back in 1995. The one-legged hopper named Raibert Hopper made to the final list for featuring the basic tech DNA that triggers all the multi-legged bots around us. It’s good to see the Robot Hall of fame giving more weightage to the real bots.
