Fly-Inspired Robot Eyes Are Faster and More Accurate

For most of us, a fly is a pest but, it turns out, its eyes could revolutionize robot vision (employed for unmanned vehicles, guided missiles, and high-speed industrial inspection robots in medical, commercial, industrial, and defense areas), improving and speeding up the detection of edges and boundaries of objects situated far beyond the capacities of traditional sensors as is the case with tiny, moving objects. A team from the Naval Air Warfare Center in China Lake, California, and the U... Read »

That is the disadvantage of processing information in binary code. However, robots can be taught, or at least instructed. Such a robot was recently created by Charlie Kemp, director of the Center for Healthcare Robotics in the Health Systems Institute at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University.

Robots Fight to the Death in Japan Created 14 weeks 2 days ago: "Fight, fight, fight... kill the Robot!" would scream people in some futuristic movie. However, this is hardly the case for the Robo-One Championships that took place in Korakuen stadium hall in Tokyo. Instead, the robot fighters were accompanied by applauses. Don't expect any heavyweight machines either, as the contenders are diminutive humanoid robots built and controlled by the participants.

There where 112 robots registered in the competition, each being unique in shape. After the f...
