Lumenpulse, a designer and producer of efficient, architectural LED-based lighting solutions recently declared that it will sponsor the Walpole High School robotics team called the ‘Walpole RoboRebels’, as it is being trained for the upcoming annual For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) robotics competitions.
These inexpensive robots can stretch, bend and twist under control, and lift objects up to 120 times their own weight. Being soft, they can apply gentle and even pressure, and adapt to varied surfaces.
EU-funded researchers have invented a robot to assist neurosurgeons in brain surgery for its accurate performance and remarkable memory. The Robocast project, which received €3.45M from the EU, focused on a robot-assisted keyhole neurosurgery, performed through the burr hole in the skull.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA have designed a robot which is agile and moves just like a spider.
The Evolta robot from Panasonic will be taking part in one of the most challenging contests, Evolta World Challenge IV, which will be an acid test to the durability and performance of its EVOLTA rechargeable batteries.
KEBA and Staubli Robotics together will be displaying an innovative robot used for motion control at the PACK Expo 2011. The exhibition will be held at Las Vegas.
AutoNOMOs Labs, a German Federal Ministry of Education and Research funded university project, has developed the first fully autonomous car, ‘MadeInGermany,’ for driving on the highways and streets of Brandenburg and Berlin states.
The Austrian Science Fund is currently working on a project that focuses on the efficiency and motion safety of robots. The research work involves the use of mathematical equations for improving the control of the robot’s movements.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced an $18.5 million grant to establish a multi-institution Engineering Research Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering located at the University of Washington. The center is to be launched this month and will be based in the Russel Hall on the Seattle campus of the University of Washington.
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.
