One of the first steps in drug development and toxicity testing is creating test systems (assays) to evaluate the effects of chemical compounds on cellular, molecular or biochemical processes of interest. Investigators from the biomedical research community submit ideas for assays to National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences researchers, who then assist with high-throughput small molecule screening using a robotic system.

This is 33 1/3 Robot Detective (ロボット刑事, Robotto Keiji) LP released by Columbia in July 1973 with multi page deluxe jacket.
SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.
A cool robot who could walk around, fall on his ass, and stand himself up.

The engineering mockup of the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) module is currently on display within the press building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The RRM mission is a joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies, and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space. Reporters have the opportunity to get a close-up view of the replica module and tools that are a part of the final shuttle mission payload.
The cube-shaped RRM module breaks down each refueling activity into distinct, testable tasks and provides the components, activity boards, and tools to practice them. Four unique tools are stowed within RRM until the Dextre robot retrieves them.

Ambassador Miller joined 30 enthusiastic students at the American Center for a U.S. Embassy and Robo Lab jointly hosted Robotics Fair to promote STEM education during Computer Science Education Week. Participants showcased their own creations, which included a spider robot, a human intrusion detection system, an Arduino weather station, and an automated street light system, and shared their innovative ideas with each other. Visit the American Center’s MakerSpace to participate in hands-on activities like this and learn how innovation and invention can be used to solve everyday problems.
Robita capsule toy robot from Japan given to me by Dan's sister. Robot Lilliput was a blind box toy that we got from Little Tokyo several years ago. Robita is 2 inches tall and Robot Lilliput is 2 and 1/4 inches tall.

Kim Ingraham, ME PhD Student and member of the Neurobionics Lab, runs tests on an open-source robotic leg with Dawn Jordan Musil in the G. G. Brown Building on May 28, 2019.
The project is provides a robust and relatively inexpensive system that can be easily manufactured, assembled, and controlled by other researchers, aiming to expand the research field and its knowledge base.

For Hussein's FGR pick - I Am Robot And Proud.
It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped - I'll probably use something else for my 365...
A few years ago a Spaceship crewmember put a blue cap on Robot as a joke, but he has never bothered to take it off. In fact, he's become rather attached to it.
I think the hardware is pretty much all assembled now! The batteries went together today and now connect up to everything, although I may mount them a bit more permanently in the future. The buzzer's held on with tape but it's light weight and protected by the case; everything else is bolted on.
This robot will use its camera to track the user, following them around and taking photos to store to the SD card. The software's progressing nicely enough - at the moment I can clearly see what's on the screen, but it's only a small fraction of the total image and the colours are not yet accurate. The chip doesn't have enough RAM to hold the entire image on the screen at once unfortunately, but I should be able to process each line before the next one comes in.
The robot uses an ARM Cortex-M3 STM32F103VBT6 microprocessor with a TCM8230MD camera from SparkFun, an OLED screen module on the back (also from SparkFun) with a navigation switch, modified servos for motors, various voltage regulators for the camera and main circuitry, a ball bearing caster on the bottom, a piezo buzzer to make it beep at you, three 1100mAh lithium polymer batteries (one for the main systems and two in series for the servos), PCBs made by Golden Phoenix in China and some standard power LEDs as headlights.
