US scientists are developing hi-tech military technology designed to be able to act as an underwater radar, in essence, and detect things like mines. The scientists are working within Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute's Ocean Visibility and Optics Laboratory - sited at Florida Atlantic University - and their technology could surpass existing technologies' abilities to quickly establish and transmit data relating to potential seaborne threats.

In news that might be a little worrying when coupled with our recent story of the flesh-eating robotic clock, UK researchers have developed a Chewing Robot. Thankfully the uses for the Chewing Robot are more benign - it has been developed to study the wear and tear on dental elements, such as fillings, crowns and bridges. By reproducing the motion and forces sustained by teeth within a human mouth, the robot has the potential to dramatically improve the process of developing and testing new dental materials.

Wala akong dinalaw na ABS-CBN executives. Si Willie lang talaga. Puro text lang kami, hindi naman kami nagkikita. Nagkasakit siya. I just wanted to see him kung okey siya," says Richard Gomez about his surprise appearance in Wowowee.

Modern robotics can help where it is too dangerous for humans to venture. Search and rescue robots (S&R robots) have meanwhile become so sophisticated that they have already carried out their first missions in disasters. And for this reason rescue robots will be given a special place at the RoboCup 2009 – the robotics world championships in Graz.

With the success of the first “Transformers” movie in 2007 and the hype surrounding its sequel, one would be justified in assuming that a third film is in the worksâespecially since Paramount has already made an announcement to that effect. So it was surprising to see director Michael Bay seem a bit taken aback when that very topic came up at a recent press conference. âIâll tell you how 3 will go,â he responded, pointing to “Transformers” star Shia LaBeouf. âWe open in his bedroom⦠Heâs dead.â
