Random Robot Roundup
     


Two readers sent links to a BBC story
about an industrial robot made by Fanuc that beat out walking humanoids
and other advanced robots to win the 2007 Robot of the Year award
in Japan. The
Swirling Brain points out that NASA awarded their Invention
of the Year award to Macro-Fiber Composite
(PDF format), a sort of synthetic muscle material that may be used to
create morphing structures and robots. He also sent a link to a recent
story quoting Toyota as saying robots will be one of their core
businesses soon. Roland Piquepaille let us know about his latest blog
posts on commercial
brain-to-computer interfaces, an update on the WHOI Autonomous
Benthic Explorer AUV, the future of the US DoD's robot plans,
the i-Snake medical
robot, and robotic
oil rigs. Know any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we
should report? Send 'em our way
please.
