A primer on soft robotics.
Listen to this interview I produced with Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher) on producing an EP with a band of bots -- what he calls "a music box with attitude." The music is actually quite catchy and moving -- for me, anyway. And that's what he was experimenting with for this project.
A final look at RoboCup German Open 2014. Lookout footballers of 2050!
The US Navy is developing a line of creepily human-like androids in order to combat fire on board ships, dubbed the Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting...
Wait, but why?:
"...By far the most popular competition is the football which was set up with the aim of creating a team of humanoid robots by 2050.
Robotics researchers believe that within 40 years a robotic football team will take to the field that will be able to defeat the current human world champions."
One secret to getting people comfortable with robots is making sure that the robots don't look at us all the time
Working with Virtual Incision in Lincoln, Nebraska, Nasa has developed a 0.9lb (0.4kg) remotelly-controlled robot that can perform zero-gravity surgery.
Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by nature's own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab’s Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk that's both technical and deeply personal — with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage.
What My Boo Isaac Asimov Thought 2014 Would Be
What will the World's Fair of 2014 be like? I don't know, but I can guess. One thought that occurs to me is that men will continue to withdraw from nature in order to create an environment that will suit them better. By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use. Ceilings and walls will glow softly, and in a variety of colors that will change at the touch of a push button.
...
Robots will neither be common nor very good in 2014, but they will be in existence.
Read his whole piece from 1964 here.
I'm jumping back into the game with this post. Happy New Year!
OMG. ROBOCOP 2014.
1) Samuel Jackson saying "Robophobic"
2) OMAR FROM THE WIRE
A robotic bartender will soon join a group of gadgets to help you throw a holiday or tailgate party to remember.

Robots aren't taking over the planet, yet, but they are doing jobs in more fields. One robot band is making a mark in the world of music.
Got to talk about robots on the radio! And it was my birthday.

Lego updated its Mindstorms robotics platform with a kit that includes features like Bluetooth compatibility and a remote control app.
