Random Robot Roundup
     


Dan Gates sent a Technology
Review article on the UMan robot (for more see our previous coverage of UMan
and other gripping robots). Amy McKinzie let us know
that NBC has used to refurbished industrial robots from her company in
the new Knight Rider TV
series. The folks at the RoboDevelopment Conference announced the
finalists for their annual Innovator Awards and the OpenJAUS free software
architecture, which we reported on a while back has made their list.
 Trossen Robotics let us
know that they've launched a new Educational
Robotics Division that will carry robot kits specifically tailored
for classroom use. Chris Bruner told us about a paintball robot
sentry that weighs in at 10lbs and cost less than $500. David
Calkins brings news from the world of orgasmotrons and
teledildonics, where the ARSE ELEKTRONIKA 2008
conference will explore the intersection of sex and technology. The
PC/104 consortium announced
approval of the EPIC Express
specification, adding stackable PCI Express support to future PC/104
boards. Roland Piquepaille posted in his blog about robot gas stations in the
sky and ship-cleaning robots.
And from the Swirling Brain come stories of robots
on unicycles (with video), airbags
for old people, a list of history's
greatest robot hoaxes, info on the WowWee Bladestar autonomous
indoor flying robot, and a Wired
article on robot hands. Know any other robot news, gossip, or
amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please.
