Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer models of circuits in the human brain and they can... view more... (2003-04-16)
Novel salamander robot crawls its way up the evolutionary ladder
A group of European researchers has developed a spinal cord model of the salamander and implemented it in a novel amphibious salamander-like robot. The robot changes its speed and gait in response to simple electrical signals, suggesting that the distributed neural system in the spinal cord holds the key to vertebrates' complex locomotor... view more...

University footballers in training for World Cup
Staff in the University of Plymouth`s School of Computing and Department of Communication & Electronic Engineering (DCEE) are busy preparing to represent England in the FIRA 2002 (International Federation of Robot Soccer Associations) Robot Football World Cup, taking place in Korea next week. The University team, widely acknowledged as the... view more... (2002-05-17)
Wag the Robot? Brown scientists build robot that responds to human gestures
Imagine a day when you turn to your own personal robot, give it a task and then sit down and relax, confident that your robot is doing exactly what you wanted it to do. view more (2009-03-11)
Researchers say hybrid pick and place robots could be a third cheaper
Robot researchers have long looked at the science of Kinematics and particularly how it applies to parallel robotics as providing novel solutions to robotic problems. But now researchers at the University of Warwick and China's Tianjin University have used kinematic theory to produce a hybrid "rapid pick and place" robot that draws... view more... (2003-12-16)
Robotic clam digs in mudflats
To design a lightweight anchor that can dig itself in to hold small underwater submersibles, Anette (Peko) Hosoi of MIT borrowed techniques from one of nature's best diggers -- the razor clam. view more (2009-11-23)
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. view more (2008-02-27)
Want responsible robotics? Start with responsible humans
When the legendary science fiction writer Isaac Asimov penned the "Three Laws of Responsible Robotics," he forever changed the way humans think about artificial intelligence, and inspired generations of engineers to take up robotics. view more (2009-07-30)
Surgeons perform first robot-assisted procedures in weight loss, colon and gastric fields
UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons are the first in North Texas to perform robotically assisted laparoscopic gastric-bypass and colon-resections surgeries. view more (2006-11-29)
Urologists report success using robot-assisted surgery for urinary abnormality
Ashok Hemal, M.D., a urologic surgeon from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and colleagues have reported success using robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to repair abnormal openings between the bladder and vagina known as fistulas. view more (2008-08-19)
Satisfaction and regret after radical prostatectomy procedures studied
Studies have shown that approximately 16% of patients with localised prostate cancer regret their treatment choice. European Urology, the official journal of the European Association of Urology, will be publishing an article by J.W. Moul et al. comparing differences in satisfaction and regret between patients who underwent open retropubic radical... view more... (2008-08-27)
Miniature robot for precise positioning and targeting in neurosurgery wins award for HU researcher
While recent advances in neurosurgery have made it possible to precisely target areas in the brain with minimum invasiveness -- using a small hole to insert a probe, needle or catheter -- there remains a disadvantage. view more (2007-06-06)

From cell manipulation to micro assembly, micro robots devised by an international team of researchers offer a glimpse of the future. view more (2006-02-27)
Of I robots go solar; new system could drastically reduce herbicide use
A solar-powered robot with 20/20 vision, on a search-and-destroy quest for weeds, will soon be moving up and down the crop rows at the experimental fields at the University of Illinois. view more (2006-10-12)
First for Plymouth Student
Under the terms of its cooperative agreement with the University, Becton Dickinson has loaned two PUMA560 industrial robots - complete with the necessary support and maintenance back-up - for use on the robotics course. Since a typical, medium-sized industrial robot costs in the region of £50k, this gives Plymouth an important advantage over... view more... (1999-08-04)
Robotic Revolution
A revolutionary new concept in robotics which would give disabled people greater independence has been developed by an expert at Staffordshire University. The Flexibot is being developed by a team led by Professor Mike Topping from the Centre for Rehabilitation Robotics. According to Mike the snake-like device can perform an array of tasks... view more... (2001-02-22)
Robot playmates may help children with autism
Papers delivered at three conferences in the US and Europe this summer report on new research at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering studying interactions of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with bubble-blowing robots. view more (2008-07-23)
Robots can learn from their mistakes
In the near future, intelligent, automated robots will help us in a number of different fields, such as transports, cleaning, mining, and agriculture. These robots will steer themselves without human involvement and will plan their own tasks. This makes great demands on safety, so that people, animals, or other things in the environment are not... view more... (2004-09-10)
Research Shows that Churchill Considered 1950`s Plan for European Single Currency Bloc - where France would Peg its Exchange Rates to Sterling
Recent work by Dr Peter Burnham, of the University of Warwick`s Department of Politics and International Studies, has shown that a 1952 plan considered by Churchill and his cabinet to resolve the UK`s balance of payments problems came close to producing a de facto single currency area based on several currencies from former British colonies and... view more...
