Robotics - General News

Strictly speaking it's a fly (diptera) as it only has two wings.....
note also that the wings use the shape from nature, nano-aerodynamics haven't caught up, yet.....


cheers,
robin.

What is this thing supposed to do? Move across traffic jams by overriding the cars? Pick the cars that are parked in the wrong spaces as a crane would and carry them away?
 
 
Thanks a lot for the Kuratas videos. That was fun. My son enjoyed a lot the videos.

Again via Gizmag, MIT's milli-motein:

An MIT team is developing a robot that has the potential to become possibly the most versatile machine ever. Referred to by the team as the "robotic equivalent of a Swiss Army knife,” the milli-motein robot is made up of a chain of tiny modules each containing a new type of motor that can be used to form the chain into various shapes. This shape-changing capability could lead to the creation of robots that dynamically change their form to suit the task at hand.
