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. view more (2008-02-12)
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)
Sensory feedback during speech: The brain attunes to more than just sound
Using robotics to manipulate the brain's perception of jaw movement while words are spoken, researchers have deepened our understanding of the importance of non-auditory sensory cues in the brain's control of speech. view more (2006-10-10)
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)
Revolutionary Robot Pitched At Industrial Partners
Staffordshire University has teamed up with a firm of intellectual property developers to help put a revolutionary robotic concept to commercial use. view more (2004-09-14)
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)
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... view more... (2008-05-22)
Launch of the "UK Mars Station Network"
The "UK Mars Station Network" will be launched at the University of Reading on Wednesday 17 March, during National Science Week. The Mars Station concept was developed by the Planetary Society to give everyone - school children and general members of the public alike - the experience of actively exploring an unknown, remote environment via the... view more...

Yawn alert for weary drivers
We've all experienced it after long hours driving, the eyelids getting heavy, a deep yawn, neck muscles relaxing, the urge to sleep, the head nodding down... But, you're hands are still on the wheel and you only just stopped yourself nodding off in time to avoid the oncoming traffic. view more (2009-07-28)
Can Computers Argue?
The answer is yes, and not only that: they can also evaluate what will be the most successful strategy for conflict resolution, including re-formulating their action, or evading confrontation. Argument is used by computer agents only as the last resort. The effectiveness of argumentation-based negotiation (ABN) for computer agents operating in... view more... (2004-07-05)
