The nanobot quadrocopters at the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (Grasp) laboratory continue to go from strength to terrifying strength.
We've seen the autonomous vehicles flip, roll and even zip through tight windows with impeccable grace. We've seen them sport a pincer-like claw for picking up a payload. If the object is too heavy, multiple machines can work together to offset the weight. The autonomous micro-helicopters are also adept architects, and can work together to construct complex towers. "We tell the quadrotors what structure to build and they figure out the assembly plan and then build it," said team member, Daniel Mellinger. In their latest performance, Grasp engineers show how massive groups of quadrocopters can work together in large formations.

The winner of TED’s first City 2.0 Award for 2012, a prize designed to encourage innovation in cities, is using part of his $10,000-prize to construct an amusement park for kids in Kampala’s slums built from thousands of reused plastic water bottles. The playground—which currently consists of a single airplane-shaped sculpture—will serve as a commentary on the trash problem afflicting the rapidly expanding cities of the developing world. Marine Drone. Swimming With the Trash: A Marine Drone Seeks to Scoop up Plastic - Environment. While there's been plenty of media pointing out or raising awareness about the disaster submerged right beneath sea level— the mountain-sized patch of plastic and other garbage that's been collecting in oceans around the world, particularly in the Pacific—there's less attention to some of the solutions that are currently in the works.
Part of the reason is that the problem seems so huge (indeed, it's beyond the point of return) and so distant that it's not necessarily the easiest to conceive of steps to take action against. Yet a crew of big-thinking designers has a concept for a trash-skimming and sensor-equipped "marine drone" that could detect trash in the ocean and scoop it into its net to be recycled. The drone is designed to navigate the ocean for two weeks at a time and would use an infrasound system to keep fish at bay.
Think of a pool net that swims underneath the ocean by itself. Welcome to the Official Jetlev-Flyer Website. Augmented Reality Project. Video: The Closest Robotic Legs Have Ever Gotten to Mimicking Human Gait. Histoire de la robotique. Artificial General Intelligence in Second Life Virtual worlds are the golden path to achieving Artificial General Intelligence and positive Singularity, Dr Ben Goertzel’s, CEO of Novamente LLC and author of “The Hidden Pattern: A Patternist Philosophy of Mind” explained in his presentation “Artificial General Intelligence in Virtual Worlds” given at the Singularity Summit 2007 earlier this month.
According to Goertzel, Singularity is no longer a far future idea. Histoire de la robotique. Intelligent Machines. Ai Research - Creating a new form of life. M-TRAN(Modular Transformer)MTRAN. Veille robot. Microsoft. C'est LA grande annonce d'hier (même si on s'y attendait depuis longtemps) : Microsoft entre dans le monde de la robotique. Avec un message clair : imposer des standards logiciels qui serviront à propulser les robots, qu'il s'agisse de machines commerciales, industrielles ou produites par des passionnés. Pour l'instant, cette annonce se traduit par la disponibilité d'un kit de développement logiciel destiné aux roboticiens, et au fait de rendre public le "Microsoft Robotics Group", département dédié à la robotique.
D'un côté, l'arrivée de Microsoft est une bonne chose, qui confirme, si besoin était, la réalité de cette nouvelle industrie. Robot trajectory (8D_track) Robots Are Stealing Our Jobs. UPDATE: Thanks for the link, Glenn.
I provide some background on Pistono’s views here, comparing them with some things Walter Russel Mead has written recently about the future of employment. This week we revisit a topic that we have discussed before — the role that automation is playing in transforming our economy and, in particular, changing the employment landscape. Our guest is here to tell us that most analysis on this subject doesn’t go nearly far enough, that technology is on the verge of creating what can only be described as an employment crisis, and that — in fact — robots are about to steal most of our jobs.

Recycled Art: Amazing robots made from trash. The expanding working arena of robotics has made humans obliged to accept them as co-workers, friends and even entertainers in some scenes.
Since, the robots are the future; then how about crafting robots from recycled material? Sounds cool and green at the same time! Yes, the robots which will not only serve as a mechanical agent for you but at the same time will also help your motherly earth from the landfills. Anthropo- morphisme. Au sens usuel et étroit, le terme « anthropomorphisme » définit le procédé erroné et illégitime par lequel une pensée insuffisamment critique attribue à des objets situés hors du domaine humain – objets naturels ou objets divins – des prédicats empruntés à la détermination du domaine humain, à des fins explicatives ou simplement représentatives.
Concept essentiellement critique, sa fonction est de dénoncer une erreur d'un type particulier, sorte de vice inhérent à la nature humaine, propension de l'homme à se représenter sous forme humaine tout ce qui n'est pas lui, soit comme effet d'une simple projection, soit sous une forme conceptuellement élaborée et presque doctrinale.

Crean un robot que aprende a hablar como un bebé. Projects. The Personal Robots Group focuses on developing the principles, techniques, and technologies for personal robots.
Cynthia and her students have developed numerous robotic creatures ranging from robotic flower gardens, to embedding robotic technologies into familiar everyday artifacts (e.g., clothing, lamps, desktop computers), to creating highly expressive humanoids --- including the well-known social robot, Leonardo. Ongoing research includes the development of socially intelligent robot partners that interact with humans in human-centric terms, work with humans as peers, and learn from people as an apprentice. Other projects have explored how HRI can be applied to enhance human behavior as applied to motor learning and cognitive performance.
More recent work investigates the impact of long-term HRI applied to communication, quality of life, health, and educational goals. For a list of current projects, click here.

Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you. The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer's thought process is sketched on screen as it plays.
A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Those traces become a key to the invisible lines of force in the game as well as a window into the spirit of a thinking machine. Play the game.

Robot Skin Can Feel Touch, Sense Chemicals, and Soak Up Solar Power. When you meet your robot overlord, it may be wearing super-intelligent skin designed by a Stanford researcher--a solar-powered, super-sensitive, chemical-sampling covering that makes your meatbag covering look pathetic. Zhenan Bao is behind the advances, and the recent development centers on a stretchable solar cell system that can expand and shrink along two different axes, making it perfect for incorporation into artificial skin for robots, human prosthetic limbs, or even clothing.
