Big Hero Science

This article was about the healthcare robot in Big Hero 6, Baymax. In this Article, they talked about how Baymax worked in the film and how it can be applied to real life. First the article talked about how because Baymax is a soft air filled robot, rather then a sharp metal robot. They talk about how because he is soft and non threatening it has more appeal as a health robot. You wouldn't want a robot that could hurt you buy bumping into you, so this creates much more appeal. They then talk about how we really don't have anything like Baymax now, but it's not that far fetched at all, Robots with certain tasks similar to Baymax will probably be similar to him in the soft air filled design as it a lot more practical then a threatening metal spider.
I thought this article was pretty interesting. I have actually seen this movie and I thought it was great. But after watching it I wondered if there was anything like Baymax today. I hope that eventually Scientists and Doctors figure out something like Baymax in the future. The medical world can always afford to get a little more adorable.
