Random Robot Roundup
     


It's time to empty out the robots.net mailbox again and, as always, we
have some interesting items for you. Roland Piquepaille writes,
"Happy new robotic year! Let's start with LiSA which will help
life science workers. It will 'interact with technicians in the labs of
life science companies and autonomously take over routine tasks such as
transporting multiplates and setting up and stocking stations.'" The Swirling
Brain noticed a EW.com
article on the Sarah
Connor Chronicles. Before you ask, no, Arnold will not be back this
time. Instead Summer Glau
plays a cute 26 year old cyborg. You may remember her
classically-trained ballet combat moves from Firefly and Serenity.
Speaking of war, Mr Brain also sent a link to story
in the Register about two robots developed as part of the Army's
Future Combat Systems project. The article ends with speculation that
we're following the path that changed the inhabitants of Skaro from Kaleds
into Daleks. Sergey Popov writes,
"Here is a story about a home-made
laser range finder. The assembly consists of a laser pointer and a
web cam. Here is another link which explains how to build a little bit
more
sophisticated laser range finder. Robert
Skinner writes, "I wanted to give a quick heads up that Kiva Systems is manufacturing its
1,000th robot this week".  Congratulations to Kiva on their success
and here's hoping they sends us one of those cool robots soon! :-) Know
any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please.
