Robot is the perfect definition we make life easier and it looks like Rovio WiFi was just built for it. Rovio WiFi robot makes it possible to “we are” in two different places at the same time, real time and simultaneously to keep in touch in a relaxing and elegant way.

Being equipped with three omni-directional wheels, no obstacle in the house / office (etc.) is not too hard, yeah .. outside stairs – still must be a limit otherwise I say not true, and so seems to have escaped from the Transformers 3.

The three-position camera and microphone + speaker built we feel at home even though we are half of the world, especially that can be controlled via laptop, PDA, Wii, mobile phones, anything that has WiFi support. Read the rest of this entry »

Military looking to build autonomous, bunker-busting killbot

We remember hearing something in the 1990s about SDI (or “Star Wars”) actually being a tool to fight UFOs, and that places like Area 51 contained vast underground bases positively teeming with ETs.

We didn’t think much of it then, and neither do we now – although this request for information posted over on the FBO website has given us pause.

The query is officially for info regarding “robotic underground munition technology,” meaning that Defense Threat Reduction Agency would really, really like to get its hands on an autonomous bunker-busting robot capable of being dropped on a target and digging into (and then blowin’ up) whatever it is that lies beneath the ground.

Talk about specialised: the Asahi Beerbot aka the Robocco

Looking like a mix between good ol’ R2D2, a lamp and a golf ball, here comes the Robocco from Asahi.
As you might have guessed from the title, this robot’s only task is related to beer: it should take one out of its belly, open it, and pour it in a mug. And this is what it does.

Initially only available as a prize for a contest, it is now on sale at CScout Japan.

Miuro iPod robot gets lifelike dance upgrade

Miuro - can now dance like your dad

We’ve seen the oddly-shaped ZMP Miuro before – the bonbon-like iPod speaker dock has a WiFi connection built in and can follow you around the house playing your music. Of course, you could also record the sound of a nagging partner to give you that “married two years and the gloss is wearing off” feeling. Well, ZMP have been beavering away behind the scenes and giving Miuro the smarts to better justify that stonking $900+ pricetag: the gift of creative dance.

At a demo on Thursday engineers showed the prototype conjuring up its own dance routines, spinning and pirouetting according to a new “chaotic itinerancy” software that uses the same mathematical patterns as a bee uses while hovering around a flower. That sounds daft, but the upshot is that Miuro now moves more freely and spontaneously, turning it from a hifi on wheels into a virtual pet of sorts. Read the rest of this entry »
