National Teddy Bear Day and More!

Dolls are everywhere! In the aftermath of an apartment house fire today on the news, a girl who survived was rejoicing that she found the doll her grandmother had made for her unharmed. It was a rag doll with long brown yarn hair, large painted eyes, and a dark green dress with a pinafore.

Vogue Magazine, Sept. feature an article I will post more about on robotics. Included are small, robotic dinosaur toys, similar to our Robosaurus. The theme of the article is a study addressing whether robots could be programmed to feel emotion, and whether humans could bond with them.

Today is National Teddy Bear Day! Hence, I include some posts. For more great bears, visit the website of artist R. John Wright, google R. John Wright!
