Random Robot Roundup
     

Erico Guizzo of IEEE Spectrum writes, "this iRobot project was discussed before at
robots.net, so I thought readers might want to finally see
the iRobot morphing robot blob in action". Rachelle Wise emailed
saying, "A Minnesota engineering student created
this robot that plays Guitar Hero! There's a YouTube video of it
playing. The robot is named Roxanne. " Rog-a-matic spotted an
interesting design
concept for a robotic wheelchair. He also found this
bolt-on kit to simplify turning any vehicle into an autonomous
robot. Robodave found a
Omnizero.9, "Pretty cool homebuilt
biped transformer robot". He also sent a link to Omnizero.9's website. Remember that
Power Loader exoskeleton suit that
Sigourney Weaver used in the film, Aliens? Pink Tentacle has a
story with
video on a very
similar real-life exoskeleton being developed in Kyoto, Japan.
Closer to home, the AssemblyBlog
posted a report on robot agriculture developments. Know any other
robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we should report? Send 'em our way please. And don't

Yes,

I have to pay more for clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, etc.), Beds dressers, bathroom mirrors, chairs, bus / airline seats and ceilings to name a few, are all for normal people. Tall & big people always have to suffer the inconvenience of trying to live in a world for "normal" people. It sucks.

Agreed...

Art,

Better yet, I'll go and put thoughts elsewhere for now....

[Art]

Come on One, it's already been done years ago.

Folks songs and such...

All we are saying, is give peace a chance...and other such wasted efforts.

PP&M, Joni Mitchell, many coffee houses in Haight Ashbury  and other venues....

Alas, too many failed attempts over too many years I'm afraid....

Art,
They "stab IT with their steely knives but they just can't".............Mirrors on the ceiling depict....

M, died, P still has part of the tribe in Clover, and P is just hangin'.

Often enough people Digg in and never change their mind, quite possibly because of long term memory loss.It could be YOU on that line and told to hold it. I think people might remember if they could place themselves in a comprehensive frame of mind and things might be different
