This is a video of Roomba Pac-Man in action. A few clarifications:

The red tape on the floor is simply so the user can visualize the map in the real world. The robots are unaware of the tape, and are rather constrained by a virtual boundary embedded in their programming.

The "dots" on the floor are pieces of paper the the Pac-Man Roomba must vacuum up to complete the map.

The ghosts actually autonomously search for Pac-Man, and when they get close enough to "sense" Pac-Man, chase him according to a set of probabalistic rules.

The human controller cannot force the Pac-Man to cross any boundaries, it will only allow inputs in valid directions.

[Video]

This video demonstrates the capability of the onboard controllers to follow a operator specified waypoint plan.

clipper's remarks: Rupert Murdoch hints that News Corp properties will be become subscriber-based in the near future. Possible game changer, or bad mistake?

Clip Source: news.sky.com

News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has suggested the company's online newspaper pages will be invisible to Google users when it launches its new paid content strategy.

He claimed that readers who randomly reach a page via an internet search hold little value to advertisers.

He is planning to make newspapers like The Times and Sunday Times chargeable online.

Using the robots.txt protocol on a site indicates to automated web spiders such as Google's not to index that particular page or to serve up links to it in users' search results.

He said: "There's not enough advertising in the world to make all the websites profitable. We'd rather have fewer people coming to our websites but paying.

Robotic fish gauge water health

November 2

Robotic fish, created to probe underwater environments, are the newest project from Michigan State University.

The creation of a moving, maneuverable survey system will allow scientists to watch for temperature changes, oxygen levels, or aquatic threats like toxic algae.

Litchman is collaborating with Xiaobo Tan, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MSU, to create the robots.

The probes will swim with the support of fins and bodies that are built “with electro-active polymers that use electricity to change shape. Similar to real muscle tissue, ion movements twist and bend the polymer when voltage is applied.”

They will also have infrared sensors for eyes and a maneuvering circuits system that will act as a mimicked central nervous system.

will be programmed to surface regularly in order to communicate with wireless dock stations

relay their gathered data and receive new orders

will be precisely guided by GPS

With Petman’s ability to withstand a a decent kick or hit from the side while walking it is clear that robots are now capable of balance and control that nearly matches a human on flat terrain. In the next decade we can expect bipedal humanoid robots to conquer more than flat terrain, and also to bump up their speed to full out running. Robots that not only match, but exceed human ability to walk and run in your lifetime? Yes – that is assuming you have another 10, maybe 20 years ahead of you!

Clip Source: www.geek.com

PETMAN has been developed for use by the US Army to help test chemical protection clothing. It performs realistic human-like heel-toe walking at up to 3.2mph and is capable of being pushed without falling over. It can also crawl and do a range of other movements soldiers may perform so as to ensure testing covers the full range of scenarios for the suits.

Appropriately for a film about robots, efficiency is the primary virtue of “Astro Boy,” a well-oiled CG-animated superhero pic that makes up in competence and vitality what it lacks in originality. Adapted from the classic Japanese toon, this thoroughly Westernized film will likely have little appeal to devotees of the source material, instead targeting tots and borrowing from a variety of recent animated pics. Slated for an Oct. 23 release Stateside, two weeks after opening in Asia, the film easily should draw sizable family crowds and hold their attention well; whether it sticks in their memory is another question.

Expert: Robots have biggest impact in 5,000 years on how man fights war
UAVs credited with killing more than half al Qaeda's top 20 leaders
U.S. military commanders are now trying to keep pace with battlefield demand
U.S. government admits that civilians, as well as targets, are dying in some strikes

Remote-controlled drones, such as the Predator, are proving increasingly popular with the U.S. military.

(CNN) -- Barely an hour's drive from the casinos of Las Vegas, a group of unassuming buildings have become as important as the trenches were to WWI. The big difference? Today's warriors are fighting without getting in harm's way, using drones to attack targets in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

clipper's remarks: iRobot's Soft Morphing Blob 'Bot Takes Its First Steps

Clip Source: scienceray.com

The People over at iRobot Have Come Up With a Most Interesting Concept for a New Type of Robot that was Designed with the Ability to Fit In Almost Any Space. The New Blob Robot uses Chemical Reactions within Multiple Cellular Chambers Called Jamming to Change its Shape an Size for a Desired Effect.

The Blobrobot is comprised of several cellular chambers that are filled with a jamming fluid. Each of the cellular chambers can be jammed and unjammed an then inflated with air. This causes the Blob to take on a multiple of shapes an sizes.

Researchers in the iRobot development team

have found ways to control each cellular chamber an have basically created a new type of movement for robots by changing its shape, size an viscosity.

With the ability to take on a soild or liquid form this silicone based robot, will be able to detect anything an go anywere. Researchers are even working on connecting the Blobs togather.

clipper's remarks: I want one!!

Clip Source: content5.clipmarks.com

German designer Stefan Ulrich has designed a conceptual shape-changing object to relieve loneliness, using artificial muscle technology.

For his thesis project Ulrich conducted research into plastics that change shape when an electric current is applied, called electroactive polymers.

Ulrich suggests that in the future these materials could allow objects to change shape and surface texture.

He envisions that people will turn to robots for the illusion of a living presence to satisfy their emotional needs.

One day active materials such as electroactive polymers will drastically change the way we perceive products. Products will gain new dimensions ranging from changing tactile surfaces over active membranes to morphing shapes. Products of the future will be “alive” in a way. The results of that research actually led to create a vision of how the future of product design might evolve under the given premises.
