CMU Announces Robot Hall of Fame Inductees
     

CMU just announced this year's inductees into the Robot Hall of Fame. They are:
NASA Mars Rovers Spirit
and Opportunity;
the iRobot
Roomba; the DaVinci
Medical Robot; Huey, Dewey, and Louie, from the 1971 film “Silent Running”;
and the T-800 Terminator, from the 1984 film “The Terminator”.
The robots will be officially added in a 2010 induction ceremony. Matt
Mason of CMU notes, “As with our last group of inductees, real robots
again outnumber the fictional ones. We in the robotics field believe
this is the beginning of a trend, as robots such as Spirit and
Opportunity, Roomba, and DaVinci are approaching or even exceeding
performance levels that once were only imagined.” Read on for the
full text of the CMU press release.
