This week in Robotics

This week is going better than last week. I think Mondays are my new days for "this week" :)

This breakfast making bot is all the rage on Monday morning! [REF] AND [REF] AND [REF]

Food-oriented robots seem to be in news this week - first a bot which can cook a meal, and now a cookie baking bot! [REF] AND [REF]

Dexter has two entries this week expanding the Lego mindstorms technology: [REF] AND [REF]

More on the Japanese-built flying ball project from last week: [REF] AND [REF] AND [REF]

Robotic surgeons seem to be taking a backseat and rather are being used to train human surgeons: [REF]

Here's another one for swarm robots: [REF] AND [REF]

Actually, this is my greatest fear in robotics - actually equipping robots with weapons. I do not believe that AI will ever get to the point of 'revolt,' but just the potential of people using it to harm others.... [REF]

Exoskeletons are cool - and they help people. Thank you Berkley! [REF]

Unitil next week, keep making friends!

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!!

This week in Robotics

The robot uprising has not too much in serious news this week. Again, apologies for the delay...

Professor Martin Mason wrote an indepth article on how to build a specific kind of robot chassis, bypassing the "middle men" [REF]

Robots used as amusement park rides: [REF]

Clearly juggling robots are in... I have no ide why: [REF] AND [REF]

Rubiks-cube solving robot, what's new? How fast it is... What's not new? How original it is, how helpful it is... [REF] AND [REF]

I haven't seen this small birdie-bot in action, but it looks pretty cool: [REF] AND [REF]

Automatic drug dispensers may make your queue at the local pharmacy a thing of the past. [REF]

The robots are surveying the land: [REF]

This pool playing bot displays that while a task may not be useful, it is news when you get a robot to do it: [REF]

Blame it on the tele-operated bot: A small explosion is credited to a mistake on a human-controlled robotIC machine: [REF]

I think cellbots are a great idea, considering that cellphones have what we need in terms of computational ability. [REF]

Billbot actually saves bills :) Thanks MIT! [REF] AND [REF]

Remember, keep making friends!
