amusement parks. big and small, i m trying to visit them all. making rides fun, exciting and, above all safe, uses frankly astonishing levels of tech. and new high tech rides start with a plan in this case at ride manufacturer kmg s factory in the netherlands. they are building aerospace, soon to be the tallest upsidedown thrill ride in the uk, atjust over 65 metres. the ride packs into four trucks to drive to its new home, 500 miles away in wales. the £3 million jewel in barry island pleasure park s crown towers above the village. pretty certain many of you are saying yes, please at this point. the rain is not going to stop me trying that. the crew on the other hand would rather stay on the ground. so it is off to the pay box to meet harry, who has opened the ride especially for us. it does seem like it is just a few buttons, but in the grand scheme of things it is very complicated. you have to know what you are doing with it. that computer is so clever.
around, yeah, it s amazing. i think that is what technology has made these rides possible. perhaps one day there will be a bigger version, but barry island s tallest attraction will be staying near the top of my rides list for quite some time. wow, that was lj. now the national robotarium is full of talking heads. although this looks more like that kraftwerk album he never bought. we research and studied the way human robots interact with each other for example, what are the best things robots should say and how to say it. essentially researchers are monitoring how comfortable we as humans are with robots. that includes how close we want to get to them, what we say, even our facial expressions. we are trying to make this interaction really natural and very much humanlike, but we still find out that humans still perceive robots as robots and not yet as another human, or another agent. the first thing you need to see is this. the face is protected onto this translucent mask from the ba

phenomenal experience. there is just time for a quick chat in this marvellous vintage 30 year old waltzer, a much loved fairground favourite. there is no technology in this ride, but you won t find a better one than this, and it is still entertaining people. but some things like the aerospace, when i finally went on it and started going around, yeah, it s amazing. i think that is what technology has made these rides possible. perhaps one day there will be a bigger version, but barry island s tallest attraction will be staying near the top of my rides list for quite some time. wow, that was lj. now the national robotarium is full of talking heads. although this looks more like that kraftwerk album that you never bought. we research and studied the way human robots interact with each other for example, what are the best things robots should say and how to say it. essentially researchers are monitoring how comfortable we as humans are with robots. that includes how close we want to get
