A slew of robots performed delicate acts of edible showmanship this week at the International Food Machinery and Technology Expo in Tokyo, Japan. Creations perhaps destined someday to bring to life a Jetsons-style future of ubiquitous robotics demonstrated their ability to handle food.
Among the crowd pleasers stood a rather beefy, industrial looking robotic arm with a [...]

One of Ember’s duties is to keep soldiers in communication. In urban environments, buildings and angle of incidents between wireless devices can greatly affect signal propegation. LANdroids are tasked with autonomously seeking a position that keeps the network alive, while still maintaining other missions objectives

Francis, of paintwithrobots.com, has several robots assisting him with his art. It’s just more proof of the limitless applications that we humans can use robots and computers on. There are tons of possibilities on what to program the robot to paint. They could be especially useful in doing large paintings in great detail, or painting small repetitive or tiresome figures.

This robot from Brown University can read human gestures.
While most of us may only think about futuristic robots interacting with us through speech, researchers at Brown have created a robot which responds to human gestures. These non-verbal commands include arm signals which indicate “follow,” “halt,” “wait” and “door breach.”
The robot also understands verbal commands, and [...]

Robots are tending to tomato plants at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL). Nikolaus Correll, an MIT postdoc, has made a robot fitted with a watering pump and programmed to tend to tomato plants grown in the MIT’s CSAIL.
In the video above, the robots appear to be built on a modified Roomba with [...]
