I, Robot...

I've always had an interest in robotic technology so wanted to look at and post a few more!

This is interesting. A robot ascending a cable whilst being powered remotely via a laser.

Also fascinating, a robot arm that can not only touch, but 'feel'.

... and I love this Japanese little 'entertainer' robot!

Wondering how much gets spent on the 'fun' robots compared to the useful ones... haha.

Mad Technology!

Just having a browse through the news section on the BBC site and came across this story about a new towel-folding robot!

I'm sure it's a great breakthrough in robotics... but, I'm not impressed! It's a bit on the slow side...


This little guy on the other hand is a lot more fun!
