Hate sorting the recyling? Ask a robot

Living in Japan, you have to sort your household garbage into burnable trash, non-burnable trash, recycling, and probably one other category I've forgotten. Each goes to the curb on a different day. I'm tickled to see that Japanese researchers have built a recycling robot that automatically sorts different kinds of plastic by using laser-sensing technology. They call it the first of its kind in the world.

Raw Materials: Robotic Resources

Larry Gonick, the great American cartoonist, has been an inspiration for a whole generation of geeks, reared on his series of cartoon guides to science. His major work has been the 'Cartoon History of the Universe', now in its fifth volume. Larry was awarded the Ink-Pot award, something which is given annually by Comic-Con International to professionals in comic book, comic strip, animation, science fiction and pop-culture. Other luminaries to receive the award have included the film-maker Frank Capra, Edgar Rice-Burroughs and Steven Spielberg. He was elected by his peers to receive the 2003 Harvey Award given to Cartoon History III as "best graphic album of original work." In the comics world, this is the equivalent of an Oscar.

Danish PM tries Japanese robo-suit

Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen took a leap into the robotics future in Japan trying out a power-assisted robo-suit dubbed HAL or Hybrid Assistive Limb. The inventors, robotics venture Cyberdyne Inc, set up a unit in Denmark and plan to provide four robotic leg units to the Danish government for their first trial in Europe, the company said. When Rasmussen, in shirtsleeves for the trial, flexed his arm, sensors attached to his skin detected the movement through electric impulses and transmitted the signal to a more powerful robotic arm, which copied the action. The robo arm is meant to be worn by the user and to “learn” his or her body movements, but was positioned nearby in the demonstration at a Tokyo nursing home for the elderly.
