    and some very ACT- like interesting internships / ideas they have Automatic summarization of related documents http://www.parc.com/job/43/automatic-summarization-of-related-documents.html (remember Kev's idea?) Bayesian diagnosis http://www.parc.com/job/34/bayesian-diagnosis---summer.html Autonomous robotics UAVs UGVs http://www.parc.com/job/36/autonomous-robotics---summer.html

    XEROX PARC was definitely heavily involved in computer development: eg. mouse, GUI, ethernet, OO programming, all came out of PARC, and all that without focusing on computers but printers...
  •  
    aaah its the XEROX centre, didn't know. Yep they made the mouse and then handed it over nicely to Apple after IBM thought it was useless

    Awesome, they managed. (this is a different deal as the micro ones )

    haha, just what they need in holland ;) anyway this is impressive !
  •  
    really nice - must not be that easy to control, correct?
  •  
    when we tried (http://cas.ensmp.fr/~petit/site-oiseau-np/main.htm good old time :) ) the kinematic and mechanics were the big issues.
  •  
    this looks like a very nice project back in 2005 ...
  •  
    Does it also attack people to capture their fish & chips like those beasts we have here in St. Ives?

Paralyzed woman moves thought controlled robot - 1 views

  •  
    A bit of an older story, but I was quite impressed (as a robotics non-expert) by the movement in the video. To me it shows the power of the brain and the "eagerness" (lack of better word) at which it tries to exert some control in the world around it.

NASA's 'Swarmies' are a squad of smaller, less intelligent rovers - 0 views

  •  
    Typically, we send rovers to our planetary neighbors one at a time -- but what if we sent a small team of smaller, less impressive robots instead? That's the idea NASA is exploring at Kennedy Space Center with Swarmies: a quartet of four autonomous robots designed to work together to complete a single mission.

Liquid metal brings shape-shifting robot a step closer - 2 views

  •  
    Hasta la vista, baby. A real-life T-1000, the shape-shifting liquid-metal robot from Terminator 2, is a step closer, thanks to a self-powered liquid metal motor. The device is surprisingly simple: just a drop of metal alloy made mostly of gallium - which is liquid at just under 30 °C - with some indium and tin mixed in.

    Jarvis could make it, add a power supply and aquarium and we are off :)

Artificially-intelligent Robot Scientist 'Eve' could boost search for new drugs - 4 views

  •  
    Eve, an artificially-intelligent 'robot scientist' could make drug discovery faster and much cheaper, say researchers writing in the Royal Society journal Interface. The team has demonstrated the success of the approach as Eve discovered that a compound shown to have anti-cancer properties might also be used in the fight against malaria.
  •  
    Unfortunately, "make drug discovery faster and much cheaper" actually means "increase profit margin for pharmaceutical companies"...

Roboticists learn to teach robots from babies - 2 views

  •  
    Babies learn about the world by exploring how their bodies move in space, grabbing toys, pushing things off tables and by watching and imitating what adults are doing. But when roboticists want to teach a robot how to do a task, they typically either write code or physically move a robot's arm or body to show it how to perform an action.

Design of a multi-agent, fiber composite digital fabrication system | Science Robotics - 3 views

  •  
    Swarm-based fabrication of interwoven composite tubes via a fully autonomous, cooperative system can help create architectural-scale structures in effective and efficient ways, including in remote environments.
