Robotic Dangers!

“There could be big issues here.” What do you mean “could be”? There are big issues here!

It started off innocently enough. Personal transporters, they told us, just robots to make life easier. Now look at them — Toyota’s Partner Robots are set for upgrades that include back-mounted solar chargers, spring-loaded jumping mechanisms, and a design hardy enough to withstand lunar temperature drops. Intended for the performance of exploratory missions on the moon — alongside a four-wheeled robotic rover — the new designs were introduced by Toyota in a presentation titled “Realization of Moon Exploration Using Advanced Robots by 2020.” So, if the world doesn’t actually end in 2012, by 2020 we’ll have extraterrestrial robots plotting our demise anyway. More pictures of lunar colonization can be found after the break. more>>>

US Systems designs and manufactures reliable pneumatic conveying systems and FIBC bulk bag filling machines and bulk bag dischargers for the bulk material handling industry. We compliment these systems with storage silos, dust collectors, blower packages, piping, couplers, elbows, motorized pallet conveyors, sound enclosures, and electrical controls.
We design and manufacture our systems to fit your material handling equipment needs. We provide solid solutions to leading dry bulk solids processing companies across the Plastics, Food, Mineral, and Chemical industries and have done so since 1969. We also offer professional installation, start-up assistance, replacement parts service, support and repair.
Our solutions make all the difference - whether you need standard components or a unique solution designed from the ground up - call USS to put our experience to work for you.
It can do just about everything a real dolphin can - dive, leap, roll and even hit speeds of up 20mph underwater.
The robot dolphin even looks very like its natural namesake. But what is it for?
Cartoon hero Tintin used a similar machine - his looked rather more like a shark - in one of his adventures.
But the New Zealand inventor behind the robot dolphin is not expecting his creation to be used to thwart villainy on the high seas. Instead Rob Innes expects it to sell for around £30,000 to film companies and others who need a ’stunt’ water craft.
The machine has a fibreglass skin, is fully submersible and can dive rapidly using its 110horsepower engine. It can do up to 30mph on the surface and 20mph below - only 2mph less than a real dolphin.

Who says you can’t teach robots new tricks? In this new video, Boston Dynamics’ LittleDog delicately navigates a mini-forest of cylinders like a Chinese wuxia martial artist, but also shows plenty of clumsy pratfalls in the course of its training.
LittleDog is the little sibling of the much scarier and noisier BigDog. The latter has gone on to become a robot Sherpa and mule for U.S. Army troops in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan.
The latest footage comes courtesy of Katie Byl, a robotics researcher at Harvard University whose previous exploits include beating casinos with the MIT Blackjack Team. Keep an eye out for the adorable real-life dog that gives the camera a wide-eyed passing stare. more>>>

As if living bats weren’t scary enough. These things could be used to drop little bombs on targets!
ScienceDaily (July 8, 2009) — Tiny flying machines can be used for everything from indoor surveillance to exploring collapsed buildings, but simply making smaller versions of planes and helicopters doesn’t work very well. Instead, researchers at North Carolina State University are mimicking nature’s small flyers – and developing robotic bats that offer increased maneuverability and performance. more>>>
Robots are getting better at finding their way around unknown areas, and making their own maps as they explore. But robots lost in urban areas don’t need to rely on their own faculties to get from place to place, German roboticists have shown.
Their mobile robot simply rolls up to any humans nearby and asks for directions. By using that strategy, their robot has become one of the first to be properly let loose in the real world, not just carefully controlled environments.
Martin Buss’s team at the Technical University of Munich dumped their mobile robot outside the university and instructed it to find its way to the Marienplatz in the centre of Munich, some 1.5 kilometres away. more>>>

From Yahoo News:
WASHINGTON — Robots are gaining on us humans. Thanks to exponential increases in computer power — which is roughly doubling every two years — robots are getting smarter, more capable, more like flesh-and-blood people.
Matching human skills and intelligence, however, is an enormously difficult — perhaps impossible — challenge.
Nevertheless, robots guided by their own computer “brains” now can pick up and peel bananas, land jumbo jets, steer cars through city traffic, search human DNA for cancer genes, play soccer or the violin, find earthquake victims or explore craters on Mars.
At a “Robobusiness” conference in Boston last week, companies demonstrated a robot firefighter, gardener, receptionist, tour guide and security guard.
You name it, a high-tech wizard somewhere is trying to make a robot do it.
A Japanese housekeeping robot can move chairs, sweep the floor, load a tray of dirty dishes in a dishwasher and put dirty clothes in a washing machine.
Intel , the worldwide computer-chip maker, headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif. , has developed a self-controlled mobile robot called Herb, the Home Exploring Robotic Butler. Herb can recognize faces and carry out generalized commands such as “please clean this mess,” according to Justin Rattner , Intel’s chief technology officer.
In a talk last year titled “Crossing the Chasm Between Humans and Machines: the Next 40 Years,” the widely respected Rattner lent some credibility to the often-ridiculed effort to make machines as smart as people.
“The industry has taken much greater strides than anyone ever imagined 40 years ago,” Rattner said. It’s conceivable, he added, that “machines could even overtake humans in their ability to reason in the not-so-distant future.” more>>>
