Robots on the move

Article Abstract:

Improved mathematical models, advanced software and sensors have helped in increasing the mobility of Stanford Racing team's robot, also called as Stanley. Jessy W. Grizzle, a control-theorist at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, has tested his new mathematical model of walking and running on the two-legged robot RABBIT, wherein the lower legs taper to wheels rather than feet.

Mind over matter: getting rat thoughts to move robotic parts

Article Abstract:

Researchers have developed a device that is conrolled by motor neurons in a rat's brain. The rat's brain activity can operate a robotic arm that presses a lever to give the rat a reward. The research is a step toward direct brain control of robotic devices by disabled humans.
