Putting those high friction ball socket extensions to the test. Lots rule breaking, lots of tires, but very solid.
Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

This robot rolled around and could be maneuvered remotely by the guy whose face is displayed in the screen. You could talk into the robot's "face" and the guy controlling it could have a conversation with you.
I want my robot! The Jetsons, Lost In Space, all the tv shows when I was a kid promised we'd have robot servants by now. I'm starting the "Demand Your Robot" movement. Today Roomba, tomorrow, Rosie from the Jetsons! Laugh if you want, but when they hand 'em out, I'm going to be first in line.
Handmade robot magnets, perfect for guarding your fridge! Made from a cute Japanese fabric and strong magnets.

Lumen, the 7-foot-tall, 300-pound robot entertains an audience on Monday night, October 1, 2012, at Ragtag Cinema, located in Columbia, Mo. Lumen was built as part of a fundraiser for the cinema. The theatre is looking to “go robotic” in order to raise money for new digital projection equipment.
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.
