Is it possible that something like Baymax could be available for use in the real world? "Robots as caregivers -- it's going to happen," says Chris Atkeson, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute. "There are a lot of people who need physical help -- people with disabilities, older people.
'Terminator'-like technology is scary; if it falls on someone or closes its hand at the wrong time, it could seriously injure someone. So how do you build something where even if it crashes, you are still totally safe? The idea was to make them as light as possible, and one way to do that is to make them inflatable."
The physical concept of a real world Baymax is simple. Tadashi used vinyl to create the "non-threatening, huggable look" and a Carbon Fiber skeleton. Simple, right? Well sort of.
While the physical concept of Baymax may be somewhat simple, the actual "brain" part is far more complex. The robot would have to be able to sense what is happening and also have the ability to make the correct decisions and interact with humans.
So what do you thing about having your very own "personal healthcare companion?" To me, it seems like it would be revolutionary.

This simply needs to happen. I mean I know nothing in the nearest future will be cute and adorable as Baymax, but the only real problem is that something so multifunctional is almost near impossible, so perhaps a dozen different Baymax's would be just as welcomed. Very interesting topic though.
