S.Korean scientists develop walking robot maid
Seoul (AFP) Jan 18, 2010South Korean scientists have developed a walking robot maid which can clean a home, dump clothes in a washing machine and even heat food in a microwave. Mahru-Z has a human-like body including a rotating head, arms, legs and six fingers plus three-dimensional vision to recognise chores that need to be tackled, media reports said Monday. "The most distinctive strength of Mahru-Z is its ... more Mini drone and iPhone take video games to real world
Paris (AFP) Jan 17, 2010Drones have become synonymous with US military strikes in hotspots like Afghanistan.

London, UK (SPX) Jan 14, 2010Spectacular satellite images suggest that Mars was warm enough to sustain lakes three billion years ago, a period that was previously thought to be too cold and arid to sustain water on the surface, according to research published in the journal Geology. The research, by a team from Imperial College London and University College London (UCL), suggests that during the Hesperian Epoch, appro ... more |

Mint robot puts shine on hardwood floors
Las Vegas, Nevada (AFP) Jan 10, 2010Evolution Robotics is betting that folks with hardwood or tile floors are craving mechanical maids to keep them beautiful. The firm used the Consumer Electronics Show ending Sunday in Las Vegas to show off a Mint Cleaner that automatically dusts or wet mops hard-surface floors using cleaning cloths such as Swiffer. "We are using a lot of technology to very meticulously clean an area," Te ... more Goddard Scientist Breakthrough Given Ticket To Mars
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 06, 2010The quest to discover whether Mars ever hosted an environment friendly to microscopic forms of life has just gotten a shot in the arm. "Mars was a lot different 3-1/2 billion years ago. It was more like Earth with liquid water," said Jennifer Eigenbrode, a scientist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "Maybe life existed back then. Maybe it has persisted, which is possible ... more Mars Spirit Rover Facing End Of Mission Decision
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jan 04, 2010NASA's Mars rover Spirit will mark six years of unprecedented science exploration and inspiration for the American public on Sunday. However, the upcoming Martian winter could end the roving career of the beloved, scrappy robot. Spirit successfully landed on the Red Planet at 8:35 p.m. PST on Jan. 3, 2004, and its twin Opportunity arrived at 9:05 p.m. Jan. 24, 2004. The rovers began missions intended to last for three months but which have lasted six Earth years, or 3.2 Mars years. During this time, Spirit has found evidence of a steamy and violent environment on ancient Mars that was quite different from the wet and acidic past documented by Opportunity - halfway around the planet. ... more |
