Industrial Automation
Industrial automation is increasing the volume of work, making work much more precise and accurate, increasing the quality and durability of the products and, most importantly, is giving factory owners the much-needed breathing space. Let us know a little more about this wonderful technological advancement.
Enon, Fujitsu’s Robot on Wheels
If you’ve ever gotten lost in a huge department store and can’t find your way to the shoe aisle, Fujitsu is working on sending help your way.
"Cheers" Stars Battle in Supreme Court
The actors who played Norm and Cliff on "Cheers" will go to court to keep robotic versions of their characters out of airport bars.
No Need to Get Off the Couch - the Fridge That Fires Beer Cans
Ever get tired of walking to the fridge to grab your next beer? An engineering graduate in Atlanta has your answer: a robotic fridge that can catapult cans across the room when you're ready for a refill.
Robotic VW Touareg, For Viewing This Summer
Just head out to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and you would find there the sport utility vehicle from Volkswagen that could do this amazing feat. This amazing vehicle is the Volkswagen Touareg and it can drive without the help from any human being.
In the 70s He Was a Tv Fantasy. Now the Bionic Man is Real - and He Even Plays Sax
Replacement eyes and working hands created in race to build '$6bn human'.
Robot to Help Rescue Trapped Miners
Rescuers trying to reach 13 miners trapped in a US coal mine for almost 24 hours were today preparing to use a robotic device to try and speed up the rescue operation. The miners are thought to have become trapped around 260 feet underground following an explosion at 6.40am local time...
Motor Sports: SCORE and Sal Fish honored by DARPA
"Mission accomplished." With two words, Sal Fish accessed the nearly two years of assistance his SCORE International desert racing organization provided to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that culminated last week with the inaugural $1 million DARPA Grand Challenge for autonomous, robotic ground vehicles. Read on for the full story.
Motor Sports: American innovators take robotic technology into the field at DARPA Grand Challenge
Hundreds of amazed onlookers in Barstow, CA got a first glimpse into the battlefield of the future as 15 robotic ground vehicles attempted to navigate a rugged desert course at the DARPA Grand Challenge.
Motor Sports: DARPA finalizes field for Robotic event
Twenty-five teams from around the country have been selected to participate in the Qualification, Inspection and Demonstration (QID) Event for next year's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge. Read on for the details.
High-Tech Motivation: Humanoid Robot Inspires Students to Study Science
It walks, climbs stairs, and even dances the hula. "It" is the most advanced humanoid robot in the world. Named ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), this compact robot is about the size of a fourth grader, but it represents big possibilities for the future of robotic technology.
Human Face of 'androgynoid'
Nice smile, but shame about K-Bot's personality. K-Bot is the face of the future of robotics. It is a mask of elastic polymer placed over $400 worth of stereoscopic cameras, wiring and tiny motors. And because K-Bot can sneer, scoff, and smile warmly, it is the ultimate in automaton sophistication.
Killing probes the frontiers of robotics and legality
The US was accused last night of summarily executing the six alleged al-Qaida members killed in Yemen on Sunday by the first act of what experts say could be a new age of "robotic warfare".
Robot cleaner ends home drudgery
Doing the housework could soon be a relaxing experience, thanks to the world's first robotic vacuum cleaner.
The Fourth Law of Robotics
Sigmund Freud said that we have an uncanny reaction to the inanimate. This is probably because we know that – pretensions and layers of philosophizing aside – we are nothing but recursive, self aware, introspective,conscious machines. Special machines, no doubt, but machines althesame.
