Droid X torn down, found to contain stuff
Posted on June 25, 2010 | No CommentsWe've gotta tell you, looking at that belligerent red eye gracing the visage of the Droid X, we weren't entirely sure the thing wouldn't go all robot apocalypse on us if we ever tried disassembling it. Thankfully, someone else has taken that risk for us, and now we've got all sorts of nude pictures to gawk at. This teardown comes complete with some very practical how-to instructions, including the advice to use your nails to pry the case open instead of a metal screwdriver -- but only if you don't want to leave your roided-up Droid with battle scars. Hit the source link for more of the good stuff.

UPenn students invent Manhacks
Posted on May 28, 2010 | No CommentsSweet Jupiter’s Loins! Look at this thing. It’s a quad rotor flyer with 20 independent cameras designed to blow through windows and sneak around tight spaces nary a whisper. I’m not sure what’s scarier – the device itself or the sounds it makes. The folks at the GRASP Lab at Penn created this robot. You may [...] -

Videos: Toyota’s amazing violin-playing robot
Posted on May 14, 2010 | No Comments
Toyota has never been known as an auto maker that's really active in the robotics area (as opposed to Honda, for example), at least when it comes to producing robots with high show value. There are two exceptions though: one is Winglet, the Segway-like robotic vehicle Toyota showed in 2008, and the other is a violin-playing humanoid that made its debut back in 2007.

Video: Fujitsu’s care bear robot in action
Posted on May 13, 2010 | No Comments
Last month, we've shown you a teddy bear robot that's made by Fujitsu and looked pretty cute - on pictures. But now, after seeing a video (embedded below) of the bear actually "communicating" with a human, I'm not so sure anymore if it's really a good idea to use this to entertain elderly or younger people (the robot's target group).

New rescue robot pulls victims inside its body
Posted on May 7, 2010 | No CommentsThis looks much like a robot that actually serves a purpose. Japan-based tool maker Kikuchi has developed a robo vehicle that can pull victims at disaster sites into its body. The obvious goal is to support human rescuers for whom it's too dangerous to reach injured people during certain emergency situations.

Videos: Watch Japanese soccer robots scoring “spectacular” goals
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
Remember the soccer-playing humanoid we've shown you Monday? Well, the “RoboCup Japan Open 2010″ [JP] he was taking part in during the last few days ended yesterday, but not before the yet to be named robot showed off his (limited) skills as a goalkeeper. And he faced an (apparently) stronger adversary.

U.S. military launches unmanned X-37B spacecraft. Too bad it refuses to tell us what it’s for!
Posted on April 23, 2010 | No CommentsIt's all a bit like Mass Effect. The U.S. Air Force successfully launched the X-37B unmanned spacecraft yesterday, but the question that nobody knows the answer to: what's it for? The Air Force refuses to say what the X-37B's mission on beyond something along the lines "we wanted to see if it works." OK, but do you plan on doing with it? "Sorry, classified." Neat.

The Mint Automatic Roboswiffer: Like Roomba but more like Robocop
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No CommentsWhat the deuce? This looks like some sort of Swiffer/robot cyborg that mated with an Apple power supply.

It’s much smaller than the Roomba and I’d [...] -
