Researchers from Harvard University, USA, are developing an autonomous colony of flying micro robots, called Robobees. Scientists say the project, which received an investment of $ 10 million from the National Science American Foundation, will stimulate the innovation of intelligent electronic sensors and ultra low power computers, and refine algorithms for coordination and independent control [...]

You would certainly know about Joules if you are interested in robotics and electronics. Though you can’t put Joules under a particular category, you would also not want to put Carl under a certain category. Carl is the creator of Joules and Joules rides bikes better than I can ride.

We have just discovered “Honda Rickshaw” designed by designer Enoch Morishima. It is a modern high-tech rickshaw that redefines the primitive rickshaws by adding robotic features. What a cool concept it is! Morishima believe that this Honda Rickshaw will dominate the mode of transport in future. It’s too early to assume whether this will be [...]

Remember the fibbing and lying episodes that you had between your siblings to get the lion’s share of food at home? If you thought it’s only you who could lie about food then perhaps you are wrong. Interestingly, according to a new study, robots too can lie about food just like the humans. A team [...]

Quick, without conversation and without errors. It would be nice to be hungry and be well served by a chef. In Nagoya, Japan, this is already happening in a restaurant whose food is prepared and served by a pair of robots built specifically for this purpose.
In the restaurant FUA-Men – Fully Automated Ramen – you [...]

In an arti9cle published in the July 17 issue of the journal Science it was said that social robots may actually have more to teach us than normal teachers.

If you ever wished to have a robot as your companion at your work place right on your desk, then your wish may just come true. Recently, we came across a demo of a prototype of a cute penguin robot that was shown by Pierre Bureau, the founder and CEO of Arimaz in Switzerland. The [...]

Here is an artistic toy called “Homage”, which is capable of transforming from a humanoid robot to a jet plane. This sounds pretty cool but the toy looks rather weird and scary. It comes in metallic finish and this adds up to its scary looks all the more. Its sharp and pointed hands look really [...]
