This new Neato vacuum cleaner has one trick up its nozzle that your average Roomba doesn't—lasers. I'm sold!
Anyone who's ever used a Roomba robot cleaner before will know that it bumps into furniture regularly, even mounting curtains if your back is turned. This new Neato (New! Improved...

Last week, the greatest dancers of the biped robot world assembled to battle on the dance floor.
As part of the 6th ROBO-ONE GATE competition, biped robots learned and performed routines in front of a live audience. That lead robot from the Doka Project? She didn't win. Instead, second place...
A study of older people's attitudes towards robots is helping researchers at The University of Auckland to develop inexpensive robotic assistants for aged care. With a rapidly ageing population placing an increased strain on the health and aged care sectors, the group aims to develop inexpensive...
Instead of replacing the St. Louis Zoo's deceased polar bears with live ones, zoo officials put robots up in their place. This slightly-better-than-average yard display will surely be remembered as the humble beginning of the robot bear uprising.
The robot polar bears are part of the zoo's...
If this Silver Swan automaton were invented yesterday, it would have surprised me for its realism, and the fact that it's made of glass and silver. When I learnt it's from the 18th century, it completely blew me away.
Made at natural scale, the Silver Swan is power by clockwork. It sits on...
Robots, fish, cars. I like all three of those so naturally I think these robots which mimic the movements of fish to avoid crashing are awesome (except for the white one, he looks like a futuristic Klan member).
The point? Well, Nissan has been been studying schools of fish and how they avoid...
First, it was a life-sized Gundam in Tokyo. Now, Kobe has just completed its life-sized Tetsujin, or Gigantor, robot. Haven't you seen your own disaster movies, Japan? This isn't going to end well.

giant monster? It was in twenty-some odd pieces/fragments, updated occasionally. The blogger covered his efforts to create comics and shared art and other comics he enjoyed.
The name of the piece was "!" ... yeah, exclamation mark. This makes it tough to search for the specific blog.
It...
Watching this video of the Precision Urban Hopper jumping over a fence, makes my inner kid all giddy and excited. It also makes my outer nerd wet. It has been invented by Boston Dynamics, the creators of the scary BigDog.
The Precision Urban Hopper—developed for Darpa—is a GPS-guided robot...
Yes, that's how these bots roll. I mean, look at it. All cute and nice, dressed up as a nurse bear, designed to hold you in his soft-skinned arms. And then tear you apart in little tiny bits.
The inventors claim that they made the robot into bear because making it "look human would only...
Shown here is Toyota's running robot. At 7 km/h it's not going to win any wind sprints in the Olympics, but nevertheless this thing is airborne for 100ms between strides as it skirts across the floor (i.e. genuine running).
For comparison's sake, Honda's Asimo robot can only manage a meager 6...

I just bombarded Futurama's co-creator David X. Cohen with some very important questions, including what he would name his Roomba, why he's not afraid of robots and what Futurama's chances are for renewal. (Spoiler: 50/50.)
Mouth: dry. Stomach: queasy. Head: racing. Not only is David X. Cohen...
I'm 13 years old and I want to get into robotics. I'm going to build one with an Apple based computer system for the remoteand other programs. Though that is going to be the final model that me and some friends are building in High school. Though this year I want to build a simple one that just...
When androids have dreamt of electric sheep ---who will they call God?
Sony / Panasonic/Samsung,etc --or will they be preprogrammed to believe in an imaginary ......that some humanoids do now?
NASA wants to have a lunar base in 2020, and they are teaming up with Astrobotic Technology and Carnegie Mellon University to design automated Tonka trucks that would do the groundwork. And probably find Nazis:
However, NASA's 330-pound robots are not being designed to build underground UFO...
