If the child is a little uncomfortable, because he comes from school Vstone New Tichno robot on the grounds. Difficult, not really. Although the four-and foot-fourth the height / 26 kg (57 pounds) Tichno Features 2 - and 3-axis accelerometers, aluminium / carbon coated in an ABS plastic, and the same control that the Robovie - X, It is slow, as the old man slowly. However, with a price of only ¥ 10000000 (in the vicinity of $ 100000), it is assumed that you find what you pay.

This robodog has created by five Interaction Design Master students. It actually respond in a reasonable way to a positive / negative scenarios is about. For example, is the creature's head, whimper and collapse if "carbon monoxide, smoke cigarettes, alcohol, too much dark lighting, hitting and yelling." Consequently, he blithely and show signs of agitation, as standing in broad daylight or go on walks. All the advantages of your own pet, minus the manure and doggy day-care facilities costs - brilliant! Peep Sparky's day out in the city after the jump.

Israeli company Urban Aeronautics has published the first of a series of test flights to the Panda introduces a new unmanned aerial vehicle prototype, bringing us closer to what could be the ultimate medivac.

The Urban Aeronautics, already the mule and the X-Hawk drone in large, can be configured to primarily supplies, medical evacuation, the benefit for maintenance, taxi, instead of high-rescue, and perhaps the cleaning of the discs .

The technology is based on the "classic, the first measure the beginning of the year 1960" that the website of the companies. This model is based on two electric motors and can carry about 3 pounds of payload, it's enough to provide an organ transplant. The company's patented calmly, "rotorless" Fancraft technology promises to eliminate the risks associated with the helicopter. And the fact that they have a stable steady flight near walls, slopes, the son and other electrical and is able to land in all security in the fixed soon Sites May could mean that you have something to the fact that this now neglected space between the roofs and the streets. Well, if it can only turn to solar energy.

Of course, he has before, but not by the idea of a robotic arm by a Wiimote less exciting, especially when the arm is actually felt. This ability is greatly facilitated by the fact that this new configuration was by a member of National Instruments, has exercised some of its LabVIEW and hardware specifically Bluetooth adapter to connect the poor to browse, a wrist (or Wiimote by the Buttons on the camera).

Although proud of having everything that is not exactly that many characteristics such as robots, Grasshopper Bot inspired by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is apparently enough to claim a robot, the top of the jump record, he could enter the hand to jump 27 times his own height. This was with the help of a machine, originally designed to handle the vibrations a pager unit, which in this case the winds of two metal springs, which ultimately liberate and in the spring Bot 5 cm high in the air. What if he did not have all the resources to manage itself, or even land on his feet just yet, the scientists behind the finally offered hope that some solar cells, sensors and a microprocessor, what they say could one day enable swarms of ' em explore in the disaster area, or even hop on their way to the surface of other planets.

Of course, you can get a robot to mow lawns and nothing else, but what about those of us who hold for a humanoid robot that will put all our tools of the 20th century scrap ? Although this possibility is still quite out of the way, we can at least get a glimpse of our future possible on a comic-sized scale courtesy of the video after the break, which shows the Mega Dynamizer robot doing its thing with a reasonable efficiency - at least until he faces a doghouse. Of course, those who follow such things will recall that this is not the first time the family Dynamizer robots took on some decidedly man as activities, with a Mega Dynamizer his predecessors, having already proved its worth , Itself a relatively downhill skier.

Most of the error-inspired robot to do a much better job of creeping us out, as he gave us the warm fuzzies, but this here Swashbot R / C robot from Crabfu is just too cute for words. It kind of looks like he in search of his little robot friends so they sing a song about slushies before nap while dragging a cinder block behind him. You know, cute.

Japan's oldest "modern" robot with 10 feet, 6 inches g akutensoku-have been awakened in Japan. Gone are the inflatable rubber of the original 1928 Android company established by biologists-Nishimura. Use of BOT, now tilted, its head, moves his eyes and a smile, and puffs his cheeks thank the 1.2 million U.S. dollars, computer-controlled, pneumatic servo outlook. But not compared to his modern descendants, gakutensoku we can still creep the hell. Renovation of Osaka on display at the Science Museum, July 18. After the video, rest a while.

Finally, after a scourge Sissy, beer meets robot we meet our maker. Vstone's Black Ox amounts to more than 7000 feet high and has a size of sacks Tokyo thirst consumption of meat. Gigantor, you have never had the opportunity. Ok, it's only half a foot and the word, but these 20 points in the wave of violent mobile fighting skills should provide hours Qualcomm entertaining for your pet, the children or five children. Turn on the video after the break, while we wait for an official price and date of discharge.
