Lost in Space

"Lost in Space," a popular 1960s science fiction television series, follows the adventures of the Robinson family as they journey through space on the Jupiter 2 spacecraft. Intended to colonize a distant planet, their mission is sabotaged, leaving them stranded in the vast reaches of space.

What interested me most as I watched the program as a young boy was the robot accompanying the family—an intelligent machine with a human-like appearance that aided the Robinsons by providing crucial information, detecting dangers, and often warning them with its iconic phrase, "Danger, Will Robinson!"

All these years later, it’s shocking how far legitimate humanoid robot technology has advanced. At the end of the blog, I am posting a short video featuring a robot you can purchase for $16,000.
