Random Robot Roundup
     

Daniel Casner of
Anybots sent us links to the latest video of Dextor,
the walking robot with a dynamic gait that we posted about last year.
Mark Norman of Merlin Systems
Corp. Ltd sent us some video
of their 2m tall robosnake that uses 28 Merlin Air Muscles. Roland
Piquepaille let us know about his latest blog posts on BAS UAVs over
Antarctica (see our
post on these also!), the world's biggest subsea
robot, and a new kind of cognitive autonomous
robots. Meanwhile, The Swirling
Brain has deluged us with more
robots stories than I can cram into this week's posting including info
on "two
kickass giant robots movies we want to see right now", a story
on interesting new discoveries about the evolutionary
adaptations of geckos that have intrigued robot builders, a plan by
the DOD to create an artificial
reality mirror of the entire Earth, and an
amusing look at the robot-related scandals
of the future. Know any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts
we should report? Send 'em our way please.
