Three autonomous helicopter robots work together to carry a load

For the first time, the Laboratory for Autonomous Flying Robots (awesome, I know) at the Berlin Institute of Technology has used three autonomous helicopters to transport a load together, cooperating without any human intervention. It's a big step forward for collaborative robots, which many experts believe is the wave of the future.

Robotic choppers and their autonomous lift

RobochoppersGetting a bunch of robots to collaborate with one another or “swarm� as the Tefal heads like to call it is no mean feat, so when the Technische Universität Berlin managed it with three helicopters a cheer went up around robot world.

3D Ultrasound Could Turn Autonomous Robot Surgery into a Reality

In the near future, robots may perform surgery on patients in dangerous situations or in remote locations, such as on the battlefield or in space, with minimal human guidance.

Scientists today can only dream of having a robotic explorer like EVE from the Disney/Pixar film "WALL-E." But some researchers are working on autonomous spacecraft, airships and rovers that can cooperate intelligently while exploring distant worlds.

"The orbiter gives you global perspective, the aerial platform a more regional perspective, and that helps determine where to deploy ground assets in a targeted fashion," said Wolfgang Fink, a physicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California.

Toys make teamed robots

Turning a pack of autonomous robots into a movable sensor network is tricky enough, but doing it in the harsh arctic environment and doing it affordably is a formidable challenge. The reward for pulling it off, however, is being able to hand scientists an important tool for monitoring and understanding climate change.

A.M.P. €" the dancing, mobile, robot boombox

July 2, 2008 The semi-autonomous robotic boombox known as the Miuro has a new big brother. Tiger Electronics, a division of Hasbro Inc. has teamed up with Japanese distributor SEGA Toys to introduce the Automated Music Personality (A.M.P), a 2.4 feet (73 cm) tall black robot that can be hooked up to an MP3 player or iPod and bobs its head and dances while red LED lights on its head flash. The A.M.P. pumps out 12 watts of stereo sound through a 5" mid-range speaker and two high output tweeters while more boom can be added to any song with the dedicated bass boost button. The A.M.P. also features two turntable shaped hands that allow users to be the DJ and use A.M.P. as a virtual mixing deck. The touch pad hands serve as a way to layer different sound effects and scratches over the music with the left touch pad used to add music effects and

Robofish demonstrate group communication

June 18, 2008 Research into autonomous Underwater Systems by scientists at the University of Washington has resulted in a sub-surface robot that uses fins instead of propellers, and is able to wirelessly communicate enough information to move in tandem with other units. The Robofish is roughly the size of a 10-pound salmon and is designed to track animals and map the bottom of the ocean.
