Current Robotics News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Carnegie Mellon system estimates geographic location of photos
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised the first computerized method that can analyze a single photograph and determine where in the world the image likely was taken. It's a feat made possible by searching through millions of GPS-tagged images in the Flickr online photo collection. (2008-06-19)
A biomimetic jumping microrobot
Researchers from the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL are unveiling a novel, grasshopper-inspired jumping robot at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation May 21 in Pasadena, California. The robot weighs a miniscule 7 grams, and can jump 1.4 meters, or more than 27 times its body size -- ten times farther for its size and weight than any existing jumping robot. (2008-05-22)
Findings a step toward making new optical materials
Chemical engineers have developed a "self-assembling" method that could lead to an inexpensive way of making diamondlike crystals to improve optical communications and other technologies. (2008-04-23)
New research shows slight of hand is not so slight
Typing on a keyboard or scribbling on paper may be similar activities, but there is a significant difference in how the body moves, according to new motor development research. (2008-04-18)
I'm listening -- conversations with computers
A computer system that can carry on a discussion with a human being by reacting to signals such as tone of voice and facial expression, is being developed by an international team including Queen's University Belfast. (2008-04-17)
Magnetic levitation gives computer users sense of touch
Computers, long used as tools to design and manipulate three-dimensional objects, may soon provide people with a way to sense the texture of those objects or feel how they fit together, thanks to a haptic, or touch-based, interface developed at Carnegie Mellon University. (2008-03-05)
Killer military robots pose latest threat to humanity
A robotics expert at the University of Sheffield will today (27 February 2008) issue stark warnings over the threat posed to humanity by new robot weapons being developed by powers worldwide. (2008-02-27)
Scientists from Europe, Israel and the US develop robotic rats to aid in rescue missions
A new initiative, bringing together nine research groups from seven countries, including teams of robotics and brain researchers from Europe, the USA and Israel, has recently been set up with the aim of imitating nature. (2008-02-12)
Just hours apart, 2 brothers undergo robotic prostate cancer surgery
"We are blessed to have each other to depend on. If you have to go through something bad like cancer, you're glad to have a friend to go through it with," said one of two brothers from Savannah, Georgia recovering from robotic prostate cancer surgery. (2008-01-18)
Robotics lab helps stroke patients with recovery
Robotics engineers at Rice University are teaming with doctors from Memorial Hermann|TIRR to develop a PC-based system for physical rehabilitation. (2007-12-05)
