The first challenge, which stood for three years, was to move a metal disc from one end of an arena to another. The fourth challenge was to travel three kilometers and find a way into a specific building: it stood for eight years. But this summer, for the first time in the competition’s history, a challenge fell in its first year, to a team of students representing MIT’s Robust Robotics Group.<br/><br/>The competition presented a scenario mimicking the aftermath of a nuclear meltdown. The aerial robot had to navigate its way through a window and into a maze simulating the hallways of an evacuated building, locate the control ro... <a title='read the full article' href='http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/helicopters-1203.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>[read the full article]</a><br/><br/><center><div style='width:100%;border:none;border-top:1px solid black;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-align:left;padding:3px;'><br /> <table style='font-size:9px;' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'>Published by </td><td><br /> <a href='http://www.xfruits.com'><img title='Published by xFruits' alt='Published by xFruits' border='0' src='http://www.xfruits.com/_theme/images/xfruits_logo_small.jpg'/></a></td></tr><br /> </table>Original source : <a style='font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-decoration:none;' href='http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/helicopters-1203.html'>http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/helicopters-120...</a></div></center><br /> NicheMedia Blogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07044788197692214919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182293232477454989.post-88770846881262094022010-01-03T23:54:00.001-08:002010-01-03T23:54:50.573-08:00iRobot launches SPARK website for STEM Education<br /> Earlier this month iRobot introductioned a new web site called SPARK - Starter Programs for the Advancement of Robotics Knowledge.

Communication is a central aspect of everyday life, a fact that is reflected in the wide variety of ways that people exchange information, not only with words, but also using their face and body. Scientists have now found out that we are able to recognize facial expressions in motion far better than in a static photograph. The video sequence needs to be at least as long as one tenth of a second to gain this dynamic advantage.... <a title='read the full article' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091223215119.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>[read the full article]</a><br/><br/><center><div style='width:100%;border:none;border-top:1px solid black;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-align:left;padding:3px;'><br /> <table style='font-size:9px;' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'>Published by </td><td><br /> <a href='http://www.xfruits.com'><img title='Published by xFruits' alt='Published by xFruits' border='0' src='http://www.xfruits.com/_theme/images/xfruits_logo_small.jpg'/></a></td></tr><br /> </table>Original source : <a style='font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-decoration:none;' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091223215119.htm'>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/09122...</a></div></center><br /> NicheMedia Blogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07044788197692214919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182293232477454989.post-712123668841303512010-01-01T13:08:00.003-08:002010-01-01T13:08:15.251-08:00Moving video to 'captcha' robot hackers<br /> Researchers have developed a synthesis technique that generates moving pictures of 3-D objects which will allow security developers to generate an infinite number of "emergence" images virtually imaccomplishable for any computer algorithm to decode.... <a title='read the full article' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091229105911.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>[read the full article]</a><br/><br/><center><div style='width:100%;border:none;border-top:1px solid black;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-align:left;padding:3px;'><br /> <table style='font-size:9px;' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'>Published by </td><td><br /> <a href='http://www.xfruits.com'><img title='Published by xFruits' alt='Published by xFruits' border='0' src='http://www.xfruits.com/_theme/images/xfruits_logo_small.jpg'/></a></td></tr><br /> </table>Original source : <a style='font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-decoration:none;' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091229105911.htm'>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/09122...</a></div></center><br /> NicheMedia Blogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07044788197692214919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182293232477454989.post-51697590572529023712010-01-01T13:08:00.001-08:002010-01-01T13:08:14.178-08:00Cockroaches offer inspiration for running robots<br /> The sight of a cockroach scurrying for cover may be nauseating, but the insect is also a biological and engineering marvel, and is providing researchers with what they call "bioinspiration" in a quest to build the world's first legged robot that is capable of running effortlessly over rough terrain.... <a title='read the full article' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091228163304.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>[read the full article]</a><br/><br/><center><div style='width:100%;border:none;border-top:1px solid black;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-align:left;padding:3px;'><br /> <table style='font-size:9px;' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'>Published by </td><td><br /> <a href='http://www.xfruits.com'><img title='Published by xFruits' alt='Published by xFruits' border='0' src='http://www.xfruits.com/_theme/images/xfruits_logo_small.jpg'/></a></td></tr><br /> </table>Original source : <a style='font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9px;text-decoration:none;' href='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091228163304.htm'>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/09122...</a></div></center><br /> NicheMedia Blogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07044788197692214919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182293232477454989.post-69565991774934506152009-12-28T11:57:00.001-08:002009-12-28T11:57:13.332-08:00ABB robot is the highlight at China Science and Technology Museum<br /> 2009-11-19 - ABB supports science education and showcases modern robotic technology.
