If you're wondering where the Caprica writers get their ideas for how the cylons work, the answer is that they've got a real roboticist consulting with them. Yesterday he explained why Zoe's cylon isn't as far-fetched as you might think. More »
A future full of helpful robots, quietly going about their business and assisting humans in thousands of small ways, is one of technology's most long-deferred promises. Only recently have robots started to achieve the kind of sophistication and ubiquity that computing's pioneers originally envisioned. The military has hundreds of UAVs blanketing the skies above Iraq and Afghanistan, and Roombas ar...

Lego biped robots are a dime a dozen, even while some look pretty sweet . This one is special: It's the first walking Lego robot. And, unlike your usual feet-dragging toy robots, it actually walks by raising its feet .
This is definitely not easy to do with Lego or any other material. Maybe this guy should start thinking about building a Big Dog . [ Flickr via Brothers Brick ]

Enterprising hobbyists Tim Heath and Ryan Hickman have created cellbots — with names like Tankbot and Truckbot — that are simply robots powered by Android devices. With just $30, an Android device, and a little creativity the pair were able to create the cellbots which process commands via telnet on PCs. The bots can move around in specified directions thanks to the built-in compass functionally ...

We love Sony. We really do. And we want them to get back in the game, because competition makes everyone better. Here's how they do it. Open the Library
There was a time when I might have suggested that Sony jettison its media companies, setting music and movies adrift so that the electronics divisions would no longer have to be held hostage by internal squabbles over piracy.

Since Japan's baby population is on the decline it only makes sense that the country is now churning out robotic babies instead. Osaka University professor Minoru Asada and Hiroshi Ishiguro developed the new M3-neony robot to research motor skills.
In addition to the physical aspects of the somewhat creepy toddler, the robot will also be used to test machine learning software. You can see ...

When the robot revolution comes, you may not find yourself at the end of a pain stick. Instead, the liberated robots could merely insist on a PC name for "robot." What will it be? The Escapist magazine forums have ideas.
It all started when teknoarcanist asked:
Not only was I glad he asked that question, as a future friend to liberated robots, but the discussion forum went into overdrive.

From Technology Review :
First factory robots, then better prosthetics and in the future, whole new sensory organs for posthumans, I say.
(OK, fine, and better sexbots..)

Robot or human, Berkeley residents still have to put up with the noise
A musician has harnessed the power of two Nintendo Wiimotes to become a cyborg percussionist with the robo-band Jazari. His playing of one drum machine can evoke an automated response from another, so that he can go around the drum circle in a beautiful display of human-robot improvisation.
The man behind the machine, Patric...

See our gallery for a look at the future of toys
Say the word "toy" to a techie, and his mind will think one thing: robots. But all infrared-loving, artificially-intelligent smart-toy-ogling tech-savvy aside, new toys can instill as much "ooh! shiny!" as even the hottest cellphone. And we're not just talking about robots: This week, the International Toy Fair hit NYC, and PopSci.com found 20 funk...

Ships that appear in perfect working order except for a missing human crew would normally raise suspicions that something has gone terribly wrong, possibly in the vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle. Yet an unmanned frigate is exactly what DARPA's mad scientists at the Pentagon have ordered, according to The Register . The automated ships' mission would have it spending months cruising the seas un...

In a sky the color of the sea, a young robot undergoes his rite of passage. He must leap from a tiny flying vehicle onto the back of the massive mechanical squid who rules this volume of atmosphere.
These amazing skyscapes and robots are the work of Canadian concept artist Robert Kim , whose fluid lines and bulging bots are a nice mashup of anime style and classic 1930s science fiction from t...

If you've got to shoot things, it might as well be Hello Kitty. Hey, why not throw in a unicorn, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Pinocchio, a witch and a couple of aliens. Strange bone structure in the ears though, I always thought they would have been cartilage. Or maybe these were mascots. In that case, shoot them twice.
