Complementing its other new Smart Appliances for 2013, LG Electronics (LG) announced its totally redesigned robotic vacuum, the LG HOM-BOT Square, with improved cleaning technologies and smart capabilities for easy cleaning on virtually any surface.
Dr. Robin Murphy, a pioneer in the area of rescue robotics, spoke to the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Dec. 11 in Tokyo.
Imagine a solid ball rolling down a slightly inclined ramp. What could be perceived as child's play is the focus of serious theoretical research by Manoj Chaudhury and Partho Goohpattader, two physicists from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pensylvania, USA. Their study, which is about to be published in EPJ E, has one thing in common with childhood behaviour. It introduces a mischievous idea, namely studying the effect of random noise, such as vibrations, on the ball. They found it could lower the energy barrier to set the ball in motion.

Instead of simply focusing on 2013, we set our gaze on the less immediate future, in this edition entitled, “What to Watch For in 2013 and the Years Beyond.” While this whitepaper covers next years’ ups and downs in the world of technology, it will be more heavily inclined towards what will happen in increments of the next two, five, and ten years.
The China Robot Competition 2012 was held at Nanjing University of Technology from November 16 to 18, 2012. This competition consists of 10 leagues (including Underwater Robot, Dancing robot, Standard Platform, etc.) and 31 events.
The device doesn’t look like much: a caterpillar-sized assembly of metal rings and strips resembling something you might find buried in a home-workshop drawer. But the technology behind it, and the long-range possibilities it represents, are quite remarkable.
Ying Mao, a doctoral student studying mechanical engineering at the University of Delaware, earned the “Best Student Paper” award at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation.
Last October, NAO was named the best robot for education as part of the "Robot Hall of Fame®" Competition organized by Carnegie Mellon.
Idaho State University mechanical engineering Associate Professor Alba Perez Gracia has been awarded a four-year $445,570 grant through the National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Robotics Initiative (NRI) for the design of robotic hands.
