Engineers, biologists, graduate and undergraduate students at the University of California, Berkeley, have observed how lizards remain upright even when they stumble in mid-air. The team has discovered that lizards swing their tails in the upward direction and this keeps them from falling forward.
Researchers belonging to the Aalto University in Finland and the University of Washington have created a prototype contact lens that can provide hands-free information updates to the wearer. Terminator-style information-vision is making progress towards reality.
A six-legged robotic bug was fitted with wings to improve its mobility at the University of California, Berkeley. While working on improving its mobility, the research team discovered new concepts on the evolution of flight.
A scientist team from various departments of the Vanderbilt University have come up with a theory of a computer being able to analyse and work on raw biological data and build basic mathematic equations which will describe the working of the biological system.
A professor of Computer Science at the OU College of Engineering claims that robots can one day be made to care for fellow robots and human beings as well. Professor Dean Hougen works on his research at the OU Robotic Intelligence and Machine Learning Lab at OU.
STMicroelectronics and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa are getting together to establish a laboratory in Catania in Italy. The joint laboratory is to be used for the development of humanoid robotic research. It will feature innovations in BioRobotics, smart systems and micro-electronics.
A Japanese man took a robot piggy back ride on a heritage site fulfilling a dream. With the help of a robotic outfit clad friend the crippled man was able to scale the steep lanes of the Mont Saint Michel landmark in France. The robotic suit gives the wearer superhuman strength and allowed Seiji Uchida’s old dream of visiting the site come true.
HoomanSamani, an artificial intelligence researcher at the National University of Singapore, is working on a new dimension of robotic intelligence, called lovotics.
Dentsu London, a design shop, is working on a project called Suwappu, which might spell the future of human-robot interoperability. Suwappu is a prototype of an augmented-reality toy system comprising little figurines.
President Obama has announced a $70 million initiative to accelerate the development and use of robots in the United States that work beside, or co-operatively with people. The proposal has been called the National Robotics Initiative and is backed by a number of government run agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
