With the help of a robotic frog, biologists at The University of Texas at Austin and Salisbury University have discovered that two wrong mating calls can make a right for female túngara frogs.
The “rather bizarre” result may be evidence not of a defect in the frog brain, but of how well frogs...
Stanmore Implants ('Stanmore'), specialists in the design and manufacture of patient specific and modular orthopaedic implants, announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its Sculptor Robotic Guidance Arm™ ("Sculptor RGA™") for...
If Tokyo Tech's swimming android robot—awkwardly dubbed the Swumanoid—is any indication, our Olympic athletes don't have to worry about any cybernetic competition for at least a few more years. But for the time being, this robot is actually designed to help improve a human swimmer's performance...
In the never-ending quest to bridge the uncanny valley, Japanese scientists have turned to one area of research that has, so far, gone ignored: the robotic ass. More »
Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire are developing a robotic system which will be a suitable companion for older people. Dr Farshid Amirabdollahian, a senior lecturer in Adaptive Systems and expert in Rehabilitation Robotics and Assistive Technologies at the University is coordinating...
With new cutting-edge technology aimed at providing amputees with robotic limbs, a Tel Aviv University researcher has successfully implanted a robotic cerebellum into the skull of a rodent with brain damage, restoring its capacity for movement. The cerebellum is responsible for co-ordinating...
Robotic surgery has become a mainstream tool for removing an ever-increasing variety of head and neck tumors. Now, a team of head and neck surgeons from Mayo Clinic has found robotic surgery can treat cancer in the narrow, hard-to-reach area beyond the tongue at the top of the voice box. Some...
US researchers have made a robotic version of an Amazonian fish that can move from swimming forward and backward to vertically almost instanteously, as a result of which they hope to improve our understanding how the nervous system sends messages throughout the body to make it move. They also...
The Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center opened the country's most advanced hybrid, robotic operating room. The new suite integrates advanced robotics, imaging and navigation with surgery to offer patients the least invasive and safest surgical and interventional treatments for...
As many as half of stroke survivors lose some of their ability to move their extremities. Now specialists in rehabilitation medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center are pioneering the use of robotic devices to help them regain this function. Patients are...

Monster Chess is a big fat "checkmate" to all other do-it-yourself chess sets. The incredible set took a team of 4 over a year to construct, using $30,000 worth of LEGO bricks. And it's even more impressive in action: More »

In 1989 a 29-year-old Michael Schrader had it all: steady job, a wife, and two wonderful children - daughter Courtney and son Cameron. He couldn't envision wanting more - that is, more children. Taking steps to keep his nuclear family intact, he underwent vasectomy - a procedure so routine he...
UroToday.com - The perceived benefits of robotic surgery in terms of elimination of tremor, field magnification, motion scaling, ergonomic surgeon controls and ergonomic surgeon posturing are likely to have an even greater impact in the field of microsurgery than laparoscopy. When the standard...
In what may be a precursor to the hippie/robot showdown we've always hoped for, musician Patrick Flanagan has founded Jazari, a three-piece robotic drum circle with some impressive grooves. If that's not fun enough, it's all controlled by two Wiimotes.
Last week we looked at Marv, a robotic...
Yes, I know machines that create other machines aren’t exactly new. But seeing robots interacting to create new offspring is still unnerving.Great job, FANUC (Fuji Automatic Numerical Control)! It’s people like you who will give the robotic overlords the edge in the future war of attrition, when...
Regular Giz readers will have seen countless crazy homebrew inventions powered by the DIY Arduino platform—but this could be the strangest yet. How about a robotic tail that's controlled by RFID "mood cards", or a Wii Nunhuck? Yep.
Perfect for your next Cosplay or Furry get-to-together...
