Anybots: Robotic Teleconferencing on Wheels
Silicon Valley startup Anybots sees robots in the future of your workplace. It’s debuting a two-wheeled mobile robot named “QB” that is equipped with a camera and interactive touch display in an effort to one-up the concept of static teleconferencing.

Learn About Robots
Rich's Robot Musings
This is a place where you can learn about robots and robotics engineering. If you are interested in robotics and are old enough to read, you should enjoy the information on this site. In most cases I give just a small description of each individual robot or application.
I encourage you to conduct your own research on any robots you find interesting. The internet is usually a good place to start for that. If you are not a big fan of geometry or trigonometry you will probably find the material on kinematics tedious.

Intel: Robo-butlers within 10 years (May 2008)
Robo-butlers are just a decade away, according to Intel researchers - but they've got to work out a bit of mug-dropping clumsiness first.
The technology was demonstrated at Intel's robotics research labs in Seattle and Pittsburgh, with the aim of showing its potential, and limitations.

Introduction to Robotics
http://www.academicearth.org/courses/introduction-to-robotics
Introduction to Robotics .. course .. videos of lectures
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to basics of modeling, design, planning, and control of robot systems. In essence, the material treated in this course is a brief survey of relevant results from geometry, kinematics, statics, dynamics, and control.
The course is presented in a standard format of lectures, readings and problem sets.
Lectures will be based mainly, but not exclusively, on material in the Lecture Notes.
Lectures will follow roughly the same sequence as the material presented in the notes, so it can be read in anticipation of the lectures.
Topics: robotics foundations in kinematics, dynamics, control, motion planning, trajectory generation, programming and design.

Personal Robots .. online video (presentation)
In her public debut, Nexi, an MDS (MobileDextrousSocial) robot, introduces Cynthia Breazeal.
SPEAKER: Cynthia Breazeal SM ‘93, SCD ‘00 LG Career Development Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, Director, Personal Robots Group, MIT Media Laboratory
Cynthia Breazeal’s eminently charming and huggable creatures appear to have stepped out of Santa’s North Pole workshop. But Breazeal wants you to know that her robots are attempts to create socially intelligent machines “whose behaviors are governed not just by physics but by having a mind,” and which might someday collaborate with humans in critical interactions.

Basic Robotic Skills
This project is designed to support the Keystage 3 ICT control unit in a fun and exciting way.
Using Lego Robolab software students work through a series of lessons incorporating PowerPoint, games and worksheets to develop their programming skills.
The ultimate goal is to program their robot to navigate an obstacle course.

Sociable Robots : MIT Panel Discussion (online video)
Cynthia Breazeal makes social robots, machines with the capacity to interact with people on psychological terms.
She says they “open up a new world of questions.” But these increasingly sophisticated devices make Sherry Turkle uneasy, since they challenge the idea of human relationships and the very “purpose, importance, of living things.”

The IT PRO team sits down for another discussion of the week's news.
Nicole tells us about her recent experience with Intel and its killer robots. OK, they didn't kill anyone, but they did a good job of dropping some mugs. More importantly, it was a demonstration of the progress that is being made in robotics.

PicoCricket
http://www.picocricket.com/
A PicoCricket is a tiny computer that can make things spin, light up, and play music.
You can plug lights, motors, sensors, and other devices into a PicoCricket, then program them to react, interact, and communicate.
For example, you can make a cat and program it to purr when someone pets it. Or you can make a birthday cake and program it to play a song when someone blows out the candles.
The PicoCricket Kit is similar to the LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ robotics kits. MINDSTORMS is designed especially for making robots, while the PicoCricket Kit is designed for making artistic creations with lights, sound, music, and motion.

Microsoft Robotics Studio SDK (released Nov 2006)
It consists of three components: the runtime for controlling different robots, authoring tools for writing code in C#, Visual Basic or Python, and services and sample code.
Among the development tools is a simulation engine along with a physics engine to simulate the actions of a robot in a real-world environment.
The Robotics Studio SDK is available now from Microsoft for $399 for commercial developers, or a free download for academics, researchers and students.

This is the home page for the developing educational robotics repository, which we fondly refer to as: robotics.edu. We define educational robotics to be the use of robotics as a hands-on learning environment for teaching topics other than specifically robotics.
We are creating a shared space for collecting curricular materials on the use of educational robotics, primarily in middle school and undergraduate classes, with a focus on using the RoboCup and RoboCupJunior challenges as a testbed for coursework.

Robotics Made Easy
Expect the number of robotic type devices to increase. More to the point, expect the number of electronic devices that can be controlled easily by your computer to increase.
Software from companies like Phidgets and Microsoft is making it easier for you to automated devices and robots that can do anything your imagination can determine. With hardware readily available, it is only a matter of time before we see even better mass market uses of robotics than toys and sweepers.

Mobile Robots (Podcast / Audio)
Mobile robots are an emerging technology field, and iRobot Corporation of Burlington MA is leading the way. iRobot's products are not far-flung, far-off science fiction, but robots for the real world. They are practical, reliable, innovative products that effectively answer users needs with creative engineering and design.
Ms Greiner's talk describes this new class of technology, how technology accelerations have affected our field, and how mobile robots will themselves catalyze accelerating change.
Under Ms. Greiner's leadership, iRobot Corporation is delivering robots into the industrial, consumer, academic, and military markets.
Unfortuately there was a lot of demonstrating during this talk which cannot be seen in the audio ;-(
