Roboticists have to come up with all sorts of creative ways to stress test their robots. iRobot went straight to a baseball bat to demonstrate the resilience of a prototype robotic hand it’s been experimenting with. Unlike most robotic body parts, which are made of rigid materials, this hand is made of flexible and soft rubber-like polymers. This means that instead of requiring extraordinarily precise, calculated movements to manipulate object, the robot’s fingers can press against things until they bend and grip. The individual fingers house electronics like tactile sensors and fishing line connected to motors that control movement. VIdeo is worth watching for how impressive a seemingly simple design and control architecture can be. Click on the image or the title to learn more.

They’re soft, biocompatible, about 7 millimeters long – and, incredibly, able to walk by themselves. Miniature “bio-bots” developed at the University of Illinois are making tracks in synthetic biology. Via The Robot Launch Pad

Stanford researchers have designed the fastest, most accurate algorithm yet for brain-implantable prosthetic systems that can help disabled people maneuver computer cursors with their thoughts. The algorithm’s speed, accuracy and natural movement approach those of a real arm, doubling performance of existing algorithms. click image or title for more info. Via The Robot Launch Pad

Having built commercial research robots and looked at commercialization paths into consumer this paper is massively worth reading. “The 2 Year Itch”, is a paper advising hardware and robotics consumer technology companies on the finer points of surviving in the retail market.

My second job after leaving college was working in a robotics research company that built autonomous robot research platforms. So when Robot-Times scooped news on Freescale Semiconductors' new a modular robotics development system, and an entry-level robot for US$200 it certainly caught my eye. There is a lot of goodies in one package and the sensor modules look like a good place to start sensor experiments. All in all nice little bot kit. Click on headline or image to learn more..
