I also know that in the second movie, the sequel, Eric made some huge advances with the robot suit. That just made it even better. You put the suit on and moved your arms then the robot's arms would move in sync with yours.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's fun to work the robotic arm in part because it's really a team effort.
If it was going to be unique, if you're going to make a robot movie in 2011... it had to be different, and it had to be about more than its machines and more than its action.
Being a sci-fi geek myself and going to movies all my life, I came to the conclusion that there were really two camps of how robots have been designed. It's either the tin man, which is a human with metal skin, or it's an R2D2.
Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.
The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it's cool, it's fun, it's healthy, it's sexy, it's stylish. On the other hand it's terrifying, it's alienating, it's addictive, and it's scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature.
The great mystery is why robots come off so well in science-fiction films when the human characters are often so astoundingly wooden.
I don't understand what's happening in 'Mr. Robot' all the time, and I'm really actually intimated for the second season. I'll have to rewatch the first season, I think.
In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.
You don't want to stand too close to a robot arm; it can turn your head to mush.
We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that.
