Random Robot Roundup
     


The folks at Trossen Robotics say, "It's time again to officially
announce the next round of the Trossen
Robotics Community (TRC) Project Contest. With the success
of last round, it was obvious many preferred the idea of offering
Robots as prizes, so we're doing it again:-)".  Andrew Alter of
Trossen wrote to tell us about another new project they're working on:
I’m spearheading a new type of humanoid combat competition for
Robogames 2009 called Mech Wars (think small
scale R/C MechWarrior with airsoft weapons and wireless cameras for
piloting). The participants are building away trying to get their robots
finished, but we have some pretty solid progress and some cool looking bots on
the rise. Roschler noted that, a
brand new solid review
by one of the first Rovio owners has just been posted by
Robots-Dreams.com. The Swirling
Brain pointed out yet another story on rat brained robots, this time
a NewScientist
Tech article about a car navigation system inspired by rat brains.
He also noticed a ZDNet article on an
MIT underwater robot that moves like a helicopter. Even cooler is
the UPenn
robot that can resassemble itself if you kick it apart. The Brain
also reported a Popular
Science story about inflatable surveillance robot for Mars. Roland
Piquepaille let us know about his latest blog posts on space robots, pterodactyl-inspired
flying robots, and on the new MIT underwater
robot that the Swirling Brain mentioned. Know any other robot news,
gossip, or amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please.
