Cool, looks like wireless mesh technology is coming to robots…
The folks at iRobot stopped developing Jetsons-inspired robot vacuum cleaners for a second to crank out the Sentinel, a technology that allows users to control several different robots simultaneously from a Tablet PC. The technology is being aimed at our fighting men and first responders so they can more safely and efficiently haul ass. The Army threw iRobo

Here’s a cool robot like the Robonova with lots of fast movement.
Futaba reportedly plans to sell its new Futuba Robot worldwide for just $1,200 each. The 10-inch tall humanoid robot uses 11 high torque servos and 9 lightweight servos for the upper body for SUPER-FAST MOVEMENT.
The robot kit takes two hours to build, and will come with 15 pre-programmed moves or use an included motion editor to build their own. H
Here’s a video of simulating carrying heavy objects:

Here’s a cool robot with dexterous 5 finger hand motion from Japan.
Researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have succeeded in boosting the manual skills of blue-collar droids by developing a robust and dexterous hu
Wow, this is the most geekiest coolest halloween costume I’ve seen so far…

Here’s Donivan’s entry for the MAKE & CRAFT Halloween contest, he writes – “This is my MeKeVoRkA costume I made a few years ago. The chest plate is using an EL sequencer that has been modified to use a larger inverter. Unfortunately the photos don’t show all the strands lit at once. There is a Basic Stamp microcontroller tha
Here’s a little cute robot right in time for halloween! 🙂
Oh my! MAKE FLickr photo pool member Oskay made robotic pumpkin Dalek – “We Evil Mad Scientists like Halloween. A lot. You might have already seen our old-school Cylon Jack-o-lantern. Here is another halloween electronics project, hopefully in time for you to make your own: It’s a radio-controlled robotic Dalek that can move around and turn its head. Oh, and did I mention that it’s a pumpkin?”
(you can’t see the nanobot? of course not! it’s too small!)
Just in from Chiang Mai, Thailand, the local university develops a nanobot that is small enough for a human body…
Wow, cool nanobot that can travel through human blood vessels! This is something out of comics coming to real life…
A Chiang Mai University team has developed a motor so small it will power a microscopic robot on an expedition through human blood vessels.

scary looking robots dude…
The United States has robots prepared to fight in the battlefield and is planning to create more complex machines in the future that think for themselves, according to a report on newscientist.com.
Among the robots soon to hit the battlefield are Sword, a machine-gun equipped robot and iRobot’s shotgun-totting robot.

Cool…
Biped robot? Check. Slick blue paintjob? Check. Lasers? No go. High bar routine? Check. Even though the JR RB-2000 robot is not actually grasping at the bar, this video is still pretty impressive. Hit it at about 40 seconds to watch the Paul Hamm routine begin. Now if they can just make a figure skating robot, my life will be complete.
