The guest speaker, Tom Klinkowstein delivered an great presentation which included the Big Dog robot video, it was amazing to see how the audience reacted to the footage in which they expressed a range of emotions from empathy to disgust and amazement, all of which encouraging a great amount of debate, and made me reflect on the rapid development of technology that I've encountered in the last three decades of my existence.
