IT PRO Podcast: When robots attack (May 2008)
http://www.itpro.co.uk/news/194190/it-pro-podcast-when-robots-attack.html IT PRO Podcast: When robots attack 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. |

Intel: Robo-butlers within 10 years (May 2008)
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/193884/intel-robobutlers-within-10-years.html Intel: Robo-butlers within 10 years 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. |

An Engineer and Her Robot (videos)
http://www.thefutureschannel.com/movies/science_tech_movies.php An Engineer and Her Robot (videos) What do you do if you're building a space station and happen to let go of a $250,000 tool that you had forgotten to tie down? Somebody is going to need to take a spacewalk to retrieve it. If you're lucky, you can give that dangerous task to "Arnie"--the robot. |

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. |

Talking About Robots (online video)
http://blip.tv/file/201875 Talking About Robots (online video) In our new series of programmes we will be looking at teaching of innovative subjects. The first in our series looks at control and robotics, traditionally regarded as quite a hard area to teach. However with the new LEGO NXT software, Stuart Swann teaches a group of Year 4 & 5 children (8 - 10 yr olds) about robots and robotic control technology using Lego NXT and Mindstorms software. |

Microsoft Robotics Studio SDK
http://msdn.microsoft.com/robotics/ 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. |

robotics dot edu
http://agents.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/robotics.edu robotics dot edu 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. |

Robotic Arm Movement
http://www.digitalcalculus.com/site/1523506/page/593046 Robotic Arm Movement Robot4 (tm) is a Robotic Arm Movement program where the arm is moved from a given position to a desired position. The program finds the angles necessary for the desired position. (I think this is the idea!) Problem came from NASA. Robot4 is an Inverse Problem(IP) example. It wants to solve how to move from starting point 'A' to target point 'B'. Solutions to IPs are easy with a Calculus-level programming language. See file 'Rob4User.fc' for solution code. Note: This Robot4 program works only on WIN 95 & WIN 98 OS platforms. Robot4 is a Free Download . |

Robotics Made Easy
http://www.developer.com/lang/article.php/3621831 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)
http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail336.html 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 ;-( |

Amazing Robot Museum
http://www.the-robotman.com/rm_fs.html Amazing Robot Museum : A Tribute to the Robots In Entertainment Since 1923, robots have provided the public with unique and bizarre personas in entertainment through on-stage performances, film and television programs. Dating back to the first robot appearance on a New York stage in 1923, and leading up to the modern, super-human heroes and villains of present-day film, we have witnessed the evolution of a technological phenomenon. As symbols of technology, robots in film and television are an index to the way humans have felt about the ever-changing technology around them. |

The Robot Zoo - Singapore
http://www.science.edu.sg/robotzoo/index.html The Robot Zoo - Singapore The Robot Zoo, a $1.5 million production, is a fun, intriguing and educational exhibition that uses the biomechanics of robotic animals to simulate how real animals work. There are eight gigantic robotic animals and more than 30 fun-filled interactive exhibits spread out over 3,000 sq metres. How would you like to see a giraffe whose neck alone measures 3 m long? Or a fly with a 3 m wingspread. What about a squid with 6 m tentacles? There are also the chameleon, the rhinoceros, the platypus, the bat and the grasshopper. These robotic animals have dissected sections that reveal mechanical parts which correspond to real animal parts. So you?l get to learn how real animals work! singapore | sg | robot | robots | robotics | design | technology | |
