    A bit of self-ad here :-) Hear my lab colleague Tony Morse speaking about developmental robotics, and meet our little iCub... As a bonus, have a peep into the kitchen and messy lab of the guys downstairs... my office is of course much nicer!!!
  •  
    "and yet one (idea) that allowed to make new predictions that are now being tested in children"!!! Which one? I am curious.

Japan plans to send a robot to the moon | The Australian - 1 views

  • the little android's oil bearings and ultrasonic sensors will not work in the lunar vacuum
  • The one-sixth gravity presents problems for stable movement, and Moon dust clogs joints.
  • the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa), the country's space agency. It runs the rockets needed to deliver their robot to the Moon and, so far, has been distinctly cool on the idea.

    Interesting! I like the quote "Maybe China would allow that to be a one-way trip but, in Japan, it would have to be a return ticket" talking about a human mission ....

Academics and Research: Virginia Tech Students Build Humanoid | Robotics Trends - 0 views

  •  
    CHARLI is the first untethered, autonomous, full-sized, walking, humanoid robot with four moving limbs and a head, built in the United States. His two long legs and arms can move and gesture thanks to a combination of pulleys, springs, carbon fiber rods, and actuators. CHARLI soon will be able to talk as well.

Robot Armada Might Scale New Worlds - 1 views

  • We are departing from traditional approaches of a single robotic spacecraft with no redundancy that is Earth-commanded to one that allows for having multiple, expendable low-cost robots that can command themselves or other robots at various locations at the same time.

Rise of the Robots #Economist - 2 views

  •  
    The Economist this week has a 14-page special on the rise of the robots. Don't expect a very indepth technical review but an interesting read nonetheless for some maybe.
  •  
    This article nailed the issue, as far as I'm concerned. By the way the diagram in the Economist is hilarious.. amazing combination of American and male chauvinism!

A New Era in Stretchable Electronics - 1 views

  •  
    Soft Robots Scientists from Cornell University and the Italian Technology Institute in Pontedera have developed an elastic robotic skin that is able to stretch up to five times its size, change colors, and even detect pressure. The luminescent skin, partly funded by the Army and Air Force's research wings, is comprised of different kinds of specialized silicone, making it flexible and soft.
