Random Robot Roundup
     

Rog-a-matic noticed a
LEGO Iron
Giant robot on flickr. VIA has announced the Mini-ITX
2.0 specification which should be of interest to robot-builders as
it calls for lower power consumption and more I/O. Roschler has written up a
review
of WowWee's latest robot, Wrex the Dawg. He's also reviewed
WowWee's upcoming Tri-Bot. Roland sent us links to his latest blog posts
on polar robots
exploring the Arctic and the UMan robotic arm.  Back in
2006, we covered John Stewerts paper on the future evolution of
consciousness, now he writes, "I thought I would send you a link
to my latest project in case you also find it of interest.  It presents
a new evolutionary worldview that has the potential to provide humanity
with an understanding of where we have come from and what we should be
doing". The new project is called the Evolutionary
Manifesto. Martin Haegele of the Fraunhofer Institute writes to tell
us that the Care-O-Bot 3
home assistance robot has been released. Finally, David Calkins writes to
remind us that the 5th annual
International RoboGames in San Francisco
runs June 13-15. Don't miss it! Know any other robot news, gossip, or
amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please.
