This first robot is the work of a hobbyist that converted a micro fridge. We can tell his robot is a killer-app because David Letterman invited him to appear on [...]]]></description>

There has been a lot of anticipation building around Pleo ever since it grabbed the attention of the media at DEMO 2006. Pleo is a robotic-dinosaur toy designed by Caleb Chung, one of the co-creators of Furby. Pleo is modeled after a baby Camarasaurus, wrapped in polymer skin containing over 30 sensors, 14 motors [...]]]></description>

This week we observed robotic vacuums and floor scrubbers, but we have yet to discuss robotic lawn mowers and pool cleaners. Any of these robots could prove themselves useful, but none of them have achieved wide-spread adoption.
Looking at other robots like Robosapien or the Sony AIBO the questions arises, are these just expensive toys?
The Robosapien [...]]]></description>

Above: Even the Scooba is no match for LOLCATS
Yesterday we discussed how the Roomba is fulfilling Ray Kurzweil&#8217;s prediction that household robots will emerge by 2009. Today, we&#8217;re taking a look at another member of the iRobot family, the Scooba. (Which ironically does not vacuum pools)
Released in 2005, the Scooba is a floor washing robot [...]]]></description>

Rev up those Roombas because it&#8217;s Consumer Robot week here at Robotic Revolutions!
In 1999, Ray Kurzweil wrote &#8220;The Age of Spiritual Machines,&#8221; which predicts &#8220;household robots [will] have emerged [in 2009], but are not yet fully accepted.&#8221; In 2002, iRobot released the Roomba, a robotic vacuum cleaner, [...]]]></description>

Good morning faithful readers. Today I&#8217;m going to take a step back and let a close friend of mine step up to the plate. Michael Biscone is a graduate of Boston University and a certified EMT. I have to credit Michael for introducing me to the concept of the singularity, which ultimately [...]]]></description>
