Most of you must have watched the movie ‘Transformers’. A few days back I went to Chennai and saw the second part. I was extremely sleepy and on top of that the storyline seemed to be extremely convoluted. There were also three of us occupying the same bed.
I came back to my current city of dwelling and to my surprise found the first part of ‘Transformers’ in my Ipod touch…thanks to friends. So there I was watching the movie for the first time and wondering what’s all the noise about Megan Fox?
I was however in awe looking at the giant robots. So as soon as the movie ended I started googling and found some information about the creation of these robots.

The details of the transformations are also captured and there lies the beauty.

Can stuff like these be used to impart learning or training? Whether it’s classroom based or online it’ll be great if there is a robot instructor who can transform into a car while teaching a student about cars. While thinking about robots or mechanical puppets, I came upon a blog maintained by the company called emantra. They have written about stop motion puppet armature or skeletons of puppets which very much look like robotic skeletons. It made me feel good that such type of work and service is offered in
