This week in Robotics

The last week has been slow in robotics, again, sorry for the delay :(

Robotic helpers for the disabled: [REF] AND [REF]

It looks like the Mars rover Opportunity is not taking any chances, but is still going strong: [REF] AND [REF]

Robots all over the world are jumping for joy as this little bot only uses one motor to jump. Unfortunately this is due to a shapely design for natural correction, so it's not like every robot can actually jump. [REF]

Thos C-Shaped legs have been quite popular on ground-bots, but now they are being further improved with springy-ness: [REF]

Robots are better than us at sports, no doubt. I really would classify this next entry as "slow newsweek" [REF]

The Japanese are certainly making strides in the spherical robotics market: [REF]

This is not robotics but is newsworthy: MIT has developed a semi-solid battery that has the potential for greatness: [REF]

Until next week - keep making friends!!
