Alien Safari Part 5: Alien Vs Predator
Moffet Field CA (SPX) Mar 17, 2009Q: There's controversy about the manned exploration of space versus sending robots. What are your feelings about that as we plan exploration over the next several decades? Tori Hoehler: I think the question of manned exploration crystallizes around Mars. That's the one that lies within the realm of feasibility. If you look at what we understand about the potential for life on Mars, NASA ha ... more Third Meeting Of ISECG 
Yokohama, Japan (SPX) Mar 17, 2009Representatives of ten space agencies from around the world met under the banner of the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG)1. They adopted for further study three scenarios for conducting internationally coordinated robotic and human exploration activities on the Moon. This was one of several results arising from a meeting held on March 10-12, 2009, in Yokohama Japan. ... more Turning The Tide To Energy 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Mar 13, 2009NASA researchers who developed a new way to power robotic underwater vehicles believe a spin-off technology could help convert ocean energy into electrical energy on a much larger scale. The researchers hope that clean, renewable energy produced from the motion of the ocean and rivers could potentially meet an important part of the world's demand for electricity. Many different methods alr ... more LM Unveils Exoskeleton Technology 
Orlando FL (SPX) Mar 09, 2009Lockheed Martin debuted an advanced robotic exoskeleton designed to augment Soldiers' strength and endurance and prevent their premature fatigue. The Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) exoskeleton, introduced at the Association of the United States' Army Winter Symposium in Fort Lauderdale, FL, will meet future mobility and sustainment needs of Warfighters by providing strength and surviv ... more Tokyo school to host first robot teacher 
Tokyo (UPI) Mar 5, 2009 Students at a Tokyo primary school will soon be learning from the first robot teacher, a Japanese science professor says. University of Tokyo Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi has created a robot capable of teaching human students while also expressing a limited range of emotions, including anger in case of unruly children, The Daily Telegraph said Thursday. The robot is named Saya and ... more |

Washington DC (SPX) Feb 26, 2009Robotic technologies were used to detect and remove unexploded ordnance from training ranges at Fort Bliss, Texas, Feb. 10 in a demonstration sponsored by the U.S. Army Environmental Command. Experts from the Army's Environmental Command joined bloggers for a special roundtable discussion on how the demonstration went and how robotics could improve safety, efficiency, and provide ... more Adept Technology To Showcase Solar Cell Handling System 
Pleasanton CA (SPX) Feb 26, 2009Adept Technology has announced its solar cell handling system will be showcased at the 2nd International Photovoltaic Power Generation Expo in Tokyo, Japan. The application workcell is a high-speed solar cell handling system with integrated inline inspection and features the Adept Quattro s650 a four arm parallel robot. This will be the first time the Adept Quattro and the solar cell handl ... more Chemists Create Two-Armed Nanorobotic Device 
New York NY (SPX) Feb 19, 2009Chemists at New York University and China's Nanjing University have developed a two-armed nanorobotic device that can manipulate molecules within a device built from DNA. The device is described in the latest issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology. "The aim of nanotechnology is to put specific atomic and molecular species where we want them and when we want them there," said NYU ... more U.S., Chinese scientists build nanorobot 
New York (UPI) Feb 16, 2009 U.S. and Chinese scientists say they've created a two-armed nanorobot that can manipulate molecules within a device built from DNA. Researchers at New York University and China's Nanjing University said the programmable unit allows researchers to capture and maneuver patterns on a scale that is unprecedented. New York University Professor Nadrian Seeman, one of the study's ... more First Robotic Greens Mower For The Golf Industry 
New Orleans LO (SPX) Feb 16, 2009Precise Path Robotics announces the creation of the RG3 robotic greens mower, the very first fully automated robotic golf course conditioning and maintenance mower, at the 2009 Golf Industry Show in New Orleans. The Precise Path RG3 combines robotic technology with an industry proven cutting unit to produce a consistent and accurate cut every time while enabling superintendents to realize ... more |

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Feb 06, 2009About half a year before the robotic arm on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander began digging into soil and subsurface ice of an arctic plain of Mars, six scientists traveled to one of the coldest, driest places on Earth for soil-and-ice studies that would end up aiding analysis of the Mars data. They used duplicates of some of the Phoenix spacecraft's instruments, plus other methods, in the Antarc ... more Merciless robots will fight future wars: researcher 
Long Beach, California (AFP) Feb 5, 2009Robots will be armies of the future in a case of science fact catching up to fiction, a researcher told an elite TED gathering on Wednesday. Peter Singer, who has authored books on the military, warned that while using robots for battle saves lives of military personnel, the move has the potential to exacerbate warfare by having heartless machines do the dirty work. "We are at a point of ... more NASA And Caltech Test Steep-Terrain Rover 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 05, 2009Engineers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and students at the California Institute of Technology have designed and tested a versatile, low-mass robot that can rappel off cliffs, travel nimbly over steep and rocky terrain, and explore deep craters. This prototype rover, called Axel, might help future robotic spacecraft better explore and investigate for ... more ASI Chaos Small Robot To Participate In Series Of Exercises 
Logan UT (SPX) Feb 03, 2009Autonomous Solutions announced that its Chaos small robot will be profiled in a series of exercises at Cobra Gold 2009 in Thailand. The Chaos unit that will be at Cobra Gold was built by ASI for the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), which has made it available for the exercise. The Chaos robot will be operated by Marines in a series of scenari ... more Iowa Staters Advance Developmental Robotics With Goal Of Teaching Robots To Learn 
Ames IA (SPX) Feb 02, 2009Alexander Stoytchev and his three graduate students recently presented one of their robot's long and shiny arms to a visitor. Here, they said, swing it around. And so the visitor tentatively gave the robot's left arm a few twists and twirls. The metal arm was heavy, but still moved easily at its shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. Then the graduate students hit some keyboard commands and the ... more
