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.

Below: Research engineers and students in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Biomechatronics Lab are designing artificial limbs to be more sensational, with the emphasis on sensation. The team, led by mechanical engineer Veronica Santos, is constructing a language of touch that both a computer and a human can understand.

Floating barriers enable ocean to clean itself

The sheer scope of pollution in our oceans is going to require an enormous effort to clean up. We have recently seen projects such as a denim line and even a plastic-eating microorganism that can help, but Ocean Cleanup is organizing the largest cleanup in history using floating barriers, which will enable ocean currents to passively gather plastic.
