Harvard University’s robotic insect takes its first controlled flight (video)
Author:
There’s hardly a shortage of animal inspired robots, but few are as tiny as Harvard’s autonomous RoboBee. The robotic insect has been around for a while, but researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering only recently managed a minor breakthrough: controlled flight. Using new manufacturing and design processes, the team has managed to keep the coin-sized bug aloft by independently manipulating the robot’s wings with piezoelectric actuators and a delicate control system.
“This is what I have been trying to do for literally the last 12 years,” explains Professor Robert J Wood, Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “Now that we’ve got this unique platform, there are dozens of tests that we’re starting to do, including more aggressive control maneuvers and landing.” There’s more to be done, however. The tiny machine still requires a tether for power and control, and researchers are still studying nature to suss out how insects cope with flying through wind and the elements. Eventually, the team hopes to outfit the RoboBee with lightweight batteries, an internal control system and a lighter chassis. For now, however, they’re just happy to learned to steer. Check out the insect in action after the break.

No Comments »Robotic Mecha For Kids, Now With A Big Daddy Drill Arm
Author:
Remember Sakakibara’s walking mecha suit for kids? Of course you don’t, I posted it back in 2010, it’s 2013 now, and you’re not an elephant. I only BARELY remember it and I had to write the damn article. Anyways, now Sakakibara has a new mecha suit for kids featuring one grasping arm with what appears to be missile launchers surrounding it AND A BIOSHOCK BIG DADDY SPINNING DRILL ARM. Because that’s what a child who’s still developing their motor skills needs — a deadly weapon attachment. You know there’s a reason why they don’t let kids drive cars till they’re 16. I think it’s to make it harder to run away from home.
Hit the jump for a brief video of the not very fun looking mecha in action.

DIY 3-D Printed GlaDOS Robotic Arm Ceiling Lamp
Author: Ian Simpson
Instructables user dragonator (damn yeah you are!) went and made himself a 3-D printed GlaDOS robot arm ceiling light and chose to share his knowledge with us so we can ALL make our own GlaDOS robot arm ceiling lamps. That was extremely selfless of him. I simply completed constructing my GlaDOS over the weekend, and let me inform you: she lost no time getting to the killing. Fortunately she took my roomie out first, which is both excellent and problem since I really wanted to do it myself. Sadly she’s after me now, which is why I have actually secured myself in a test chamber. “That’s the bathroom.” IT ‘S An EXAMINATION CHAMBER. One that lacked toilet tissue yesterday and has me on all fours utilizing the showerhead like a bidet.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the finished item but inspect out the dragonator’s Instructable web page for all the details and supplies you’ll have to make your very own.

Children of all ages who gathered in Zurich on Saturday for the Robots on Tour exhibition were treated to an array of robots developed for the lucrative toy market. The World Congress and Exhibition of Robots, Humanoids and Cyborgs was put on by the internationally renowned Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Zurich, marking the 25th anniversary of the department. Robot scientists from around the world travelled to Zurich to present the newest developments and discuss artificial intelligence with a broad audience. Families from around Europe, including France, Germany and Austria drove hundreds of kilometres to visit the exhibition, to the delight of enthused children. The young audience was allowed see and touch the newest robotics, such as stuffed animals responding to movement, light and sound. A dancing humanoid named Nao even danced the Gangnam Style in front of the young and admiring visitors.

Uh-Oh: Robotic BigDog Now Has A Brick-Throwing Head
Author: Matthew Baker
How do you make a BigDog quadruped robot even more terrifying? Simple, add a cinderblock-throwing head attachment. It can actually chuck them pretty far too — probably about as far as I could. So if it ever comes down to a cinderblock throwing duel to the death, it could be anybody’s game. I only ask you avenge my death when it kills me.
Hit the jump, watch the video, and start boarding up any ground-level windows in your house.

Question by Spreeze: How much is a Tekno Robotic Puppy worth?
I’ve got a Tekno Robotic Puppy Dalmatian that’s been hanging out in my hope chest for twelve years, and I’m wondering how much they’re going for. But, I can’t find anything useful online. Any ideas?
One of these ones: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51yPbWI7fsL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
Thanks, all!

Answer by Payton
I found this puppy which is the same as yours at this site,
http://www.gifttogadget.co.uk/product.php/1947/tekno_robotic_puppy_special_dalmatian_edition_2000_rare_
It goes for $ 149.99. And that was all I found for the puppy.
