I've been waiting to show this for what feels like ETERNITY! Last year we created a R&D project called Trust, where our team was experimenting with Cozmo in-front of a live camera. We wanted to see if we can stretch the style of performance from the robot and get a different feel from what we generally felt more comfortable which was humor and comedy. So check it out at the <a href="https://youtu.be/tkSmqnTF9nk?t=17m">17:00 mark</a> in the video.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also check Mark's entire talk, it's pretty good. Mark Palatucci is one of Anki's three founders and he shares some insight on A.I., Cozmo, and among other things the surprising relevance of character performance for personal interaction with robots. </div>

OK that's it, Kitty Don't Do It version Done_Done_Finished_Final_666 is done and done. Was playing around, nudging and fudging with this new way of animating, at least new for me I guess. In any case, yadayadayada, here is Kitty Don't Do It - Bloop:</div>

San Francisco is such a great hub for wonderful, forward thinking people. had great conversation about Anki, ideas, inspirations and thoughts on the future of Character Animation and Robotics and it was fun and exciting. I have to thank the organizers for having us, the Anki Comms team for the work behind the scenes and of course Leigh for taking pictures.</b></span></span><br />

...ok ok, it's just a Saturday morning animation exercise. Since I don't get to animate much at work lately, I find myself animating little tests like this one more and more. No grand plan or anything, just simple exercises to keep that animation muscle working.</div>
