Bots you can’t ignore

Bite-sized bots at Vanderbilt University, drumming bots at Georgia Tech, and touchy-feely bots at UCLA… it’s all about ‪‎National Robotics Week‬ at Science360 Radio this weekend. Download the Science360 Radio app to hear our featured podcasts about cutting edge robotics‬ research.

Above: Founding director of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology Gil Weinberg created a robotic drumming prosthesis with motors that power two drumsticks. The first stick is controlled physically by the musician’s arms and electronically by his muscles. The other stick on the prosthesis actually “listens” to the music and plays on its own.  Credit: Rob Felt/Georgia Tech Story: http://www.news.gatech.edu/2014/03/05/robotic-prosthesis-turns-drummer-three-armed-cyborg

The team, led by mechanical engineer Veronica Santos, is constructing a language of touch that both a computer and a human can understand.  Credit: National Science Foundation Video: http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/science_nation/robotictouch.jsp
