MIT Uses Touchy-Feely Technology For Next Generation Tactile Robotic Skin

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will create the first robot that will enable a human to interact with it through touch, much as they would another human. Last week, MIT commissioned the British company Peratech to develop its next generation tactile robotic skin to accomplish its goal.

Robo Cafe: robot waiters make a restaurant a one-man operation

Back in the 70s, the robots were coming for our crappy manufacturing jobs. Now, it seems, they’re coming for our crappy table service jobs. Korean company ITM Technology has developed a restaurant concept around a cute little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter – it takes orders from customers, either verbally or through a touch screen, then relays them to the kitchen, and brings the food out when it’s ready. Robo Cafe eliminates ordering errors, reduces staffing costs dramatically for restaurant owners, and even brings the boss all the tips. It’s probably not going to be nearly as interesting to Tiger Woods, though…

Nano-Scale Robot Arm Moves Atoms With 100% Accuracy

destinyland writes “A New York professor has built a two-armed nanorobotic device with the ability to place specific atoms and molecules where scientists want them. The nano-scopic device is just 150 x 50 x 8 nanometers in size — over a million could fit inside a single red blood cell. But because of its size, it’s able to build nanoscale structures and machines — including a nanoscale walking biped and even sequence-dependent molecular switch arrays!”

Manoi Go break-dancing robot blows our minds

We’ve got no idea how this nugget of glorious mechanized boogie snuck past us — we’ll blame it on the horror we experienced while watching Doka Harumi’s robot dance routine. Another entrant in that same Japanese robo-dance contest, this red-blazered drone brings the pain, the funk, and all necessary accessories to rock your world. We’re not kidding — if you don’t like this, you don’t like technology. Skip past the break for not one, but two doses of that mind-altering video action.
