Random Robot Roundup
     

Scott Broock writes, "This is a fun video about Robot
Village in NY that you guys might be interested in". Sebastian
Tyl is the first to report the little robot tribute included in the new
Mozilla Firefox v3 browser. If you
have it, type "about:robots" in the
address bar and see what you get. If you haven't upgraded yet, take a
look at the screen
grab. Meanwhile, The Swirling
Brain has swirled out a whole lot of
robot links: a Science
Daily story on Tartalo the robot, a PC Mag
story and an AF
press release on AMP, a two wheeled balancing robot that will follow
you around playing music. An Electronic
house article on the SEGA EMA aka the Electronic Girlfriend. It's
not as kinky as it sounds - it's sort of a robot barbie doll. He also
noted a PC World
story on RepRap, the 3D printer that can replicate itself (well, it
can't really but it's a start). There's also a Personal
Tech story on Japan's growing concern that Korea is getting ahead of
them in the race to commercialize robots. Roland Piquepaille sent us
links to his latest blog posts on the Kiel-6000 ROV and the
V-Star UAV. Know
any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please.
