Robotics: Isaac Asimov's Artificial Man
The mechanical men of science fiction are now becoming fact. In this film, Dr. Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry at Boston University Medical School & the author of over 122 books, presents the most recent advances in robot technology, including Hardiman (man-mate), developed by General Electric, a machine that combines mechanical force with human reflexes; Ultimate, developed by Unimation, whose computer memory allows it to repeat endlessly a complicated cycle of motions; and a Columbia University research robot which challenges a man to a game of chess.
