Scientists developing intelligent pipe-inspection robot

June 30, 2008 Scientists at Scandinavian independent research organizationSINTEF have a new robot in the pipeline. That’s the aim, anyway. The team is working on a robot that can navigate inaccessible industrial pipes in order to check their condition, locate leakages, and clean the ventilation systems.

Scientists develop 'emotional' robot

Scientists in Britain have created an emotional robot which appears to respond to being cuddled or scared. The Heart Robot, developed by scientists at the University of the West of England in Bristol, was aimed to explore human reaction to machine that give emotional feedbacks.

Ulster Scientists Join Intelligent Rescue Robot Partnership

Scientists at the University of Ulster are to begin working on a multi-million pound project to develop unmanned 'intelligent' aerial robots which could revolutionise the way in which search and rescue operations or the response to natural or man-made disasters are carried out.

The Saddest Robot Ever Made?

If you were expecting a robot that could emote "sad"...I'm sorry, that's not what this is. No, this isn't a robot that can cry either (we already have those creepy baby dolls for that). No, instead, this is just sad in the "sorry-excuse-for-a-robot" kind of way. If you've ever asked yourself what would happen if a Segway just couldn't stay upright, well you're in luck...watch the video here for a balancing robot that...well...doesn't really balance all too well. And in closing, I must apologize to all other robots for referring to this disaster as a robot.

Robot with Rat Brains Learns to Avoid Obstacles; Holy Crap, a Robot with a Rat's Brain

Touchy-feely Robot-Skin for Robots (and maybe us)

Everyone loves a robot. Especially a sensitive robot. Just look at WALL-E or Johnny-5. When it comes to a robot who has the capacity to feel, we all go a bit gooey inside. The cold, unfeeling, emotionless robot is a metaphor for that fear we have of losing what it is to be human.

MechRC Robot Does Evolution of Robotic Dance Vid, Original Put to Shame

Incredible: what more's there to say? Incredible. Based on Judson Laipply's "Evolution of Dance Video," but way better. We get to see a robot doing Vanilla Ice's dance moves better than he did. A robot doing the "walk like an Egyptian" dance. The upcoming MechRC robot has been under development for three years and has 17 independently-controlled servos, and built-in audio. And if this video is anything to go by, when it goes on sale in the fall it should make quite a dent in the miniature robot world. [MechRC via RoboSavvy. —Thanks Limor]

Neurons Control Robot

Researchers at the University of Reading, in England, have developed a robot controlled by a biological "brain." Hundreds of thousands of rat neurons communicate via a multielectrode array--a dish with over 60 two-way electrodes that transmit signals between neurons and outside electronics--to control the movement of a wheeled robot. When the neurons receive signals that the robot is nearing an object, their output moves the wheels in an attempt to avoid obstacles. The researchers, led by neuroscientists Mark Hammond, Ben Whalley, and cyberneticist Kevin Warwick, suggest that by stimulating the neurons with different signals as the robot returns to a familiar location, they will be able to study how a brain stores data. Their goal is to eventually understand memory formation and disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
