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. view more (2008-04-17)
As robots learn to imitate
Can robots learn to communicate by studying and imitating humans' gestures? That's what MIRROR's researchers aimed to find out by studying how infants and monkeys learn complex acts such as grasping and transferring it to robots. view more (2004-12-22)

Virtual reality simulation tools are already revolutionizing the way dentists are taught at Case Western Reserve University. view more (2006-03-02)
NASA-funded robotic sub finds bottom of world's deepest sinkhole
A robotic vehicle designed for underwater exploration plunged repeatedly into the depths of Mexico's mysterious El Zacaton sinkhole in late May, finding its previously undiscovered bottom 318 meters below the surface and generating a sonar map of its inner dimensions. view more (2007-06-01)
Opals set to shine with new grading technology
CSIRO and a consortium of Australian Opal miners (Opal Producers Australia Limited) have unveiled the world's first automated device to grade opals using image analysis, at the 2009 National Council of Jewellery Valuers forum in Sydney. view more (2009-08-31)
Robot Footballers Celebrate Long Awaited Increase in UK Robot Sales
Figures just released by the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) based at the University of Warwick for UK robot sales in 2003 show that for the first time in three years there is an upward trend in the numbers of robots sold in the UK. To celebrate this long awaited upturn BARA will be organising a national student robot football... view more... (2004-01-26)
21st-century pack mule: MIT's 'exoskeleton' lightens the load
Researchers in the MIT Media Lab's Biomechatronics Group have created a device to lighten the burden for soldiers and others who carry heavy packs and equipment. view more (2007-09-20)

Research teams successfully operate multiple biomedical robots from numerous locations
Using a new software protocol called the Interoperable Telesurgical Protocol, nine research teams from universities and research institutes around the world recently collaborated on the first successful demonstration of multiple biomedical robots operated from different locations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. SRI International operated its M7... view more... (2009-09-18)
"Animals" grown from an artificial embryo
VIRTUAL creatures, with muscles, senses and primitive nervous systems, have been "grown" from artificial embryos in a computer simulation. The multi-celled organisms could be the first step towards using artificial evolution to create intelligent life from scratch. Each creature begins life as a single "embryo" cell, containing a string of random... view more... (2002-08-21)
Exploiting space with low-cost satellites
At a time when European science budgets are increasingly under pressure UK academia and industry representatives met in London (24th January 2007) to look at opportunities for exploiting space using low cost satellites. view more (2007-01-29)
