Cool project by the MIT Robust Robotics Group – Micro Air Vehicle made to autonomously seek out a target without GPS in a tight environment. The MAV uses a real time laser to detect walls in 3D which allow it to detect a window and fly trough it.

Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway and other amazing medical machines has been working on a robotic arm for the military. The robotic arm is supposed to allow the user to accomplish delicate tasks such as, scratching ones nose or picking up a pen. This arm might revolutionalize the way prosthetics are made. [...]
This robot is looks like it is set to replace the fleet of mechanical bulls in bars around the country. If this guy was two inches taller the robot would have smacked him on the floor. Looks fun I’m next.

“The idea of this project was to create a fully-automated sentry gun, capable of picking out a human target and accurately tracking and shooting him or her in the heart. Really, the idea was to find a cool robotics project for the summer while I was working at an advertising agency, and I’d only ever [...]

This unique robot is controlled by cockroach intelligence. The cockroach is placed on a small trackball which controls the movement of the robot. The idea is to create a pseudo-intelligent robot. The cockroach is flashed with ultra-bright leds. The leds provide feedback to the roach.
Created as a graduate project by Eric Newman. The DrawBot was created to emulate the emulate the movement of the mouse. The DrawBot is controlled via a HID USB interface, using a Microchips PIC 18F4550 microprocessor to control everything. By using the HID interface the DrawBot can be programed to draw premade patterns of different [...]
