The next thing in robotics
The end of the week is here and its time to look back and see some of the stories about robotics from the past few days. Here are the links to the items that showed up on the RobotNext feeds over the past few days. Enjoy. "I am looking for (a) floor cleaning robot(s)." Robot…
The Newswrap is back and it is moving to Fridays. For the past several weeks, there has been no newswrap since my weekends have been busy with various robotics events. Because this situation may continue for the next few months, I decided that the logical thing to do was to move this feature to Fridays. …
For this week’s newswrap, there are four stories. First, from Saturday, is the article about the chemical-detecting robot built by a high school student as a science fair project. Read the article to find out how it was done. And yes, it was made from LEGOs! Second, there is a story on a biologically inspired…
This week’s RobotNext Newswrap brings you five stories with a robot-animal theme. In the case of the Bloodbot from Thursday, it was not built to mimic a vampire bat, the story only makes that connection to express what might be a common fear about this machine. And, the pet care robot does not recreate an…
Here’s this week’s newswrap from RobotNext. While there is no theme to tie this report together, the robots from the posts of the last seven days are interesting and varied. From Friday, the Japanese are at it again. They have released a robot to help the elderly exercise. Lately, there seems to be a new…

Here at RobotNext, I decided to feature some of these posts since they were not covered here during the week. At the robot rodeo, the point was to see what machines have been developed with the research…
Here are this week’s leftovers in no particular order. There are seven stories that made the newswrap this week and they cover an interesting range of topics. If there is any theme in the stories of this past seven days, it is the relationship of robots to human life. Starting on Monday, there is the…
This week’s wrap brings five stories. Three of the stories are about robots and the military. One of these robots can literally hover outside a window and peer inside. Another can actually navigate inside your home. What does this mean for privacy? For the military, these robots can help in many situations of urban warfare,…
At the end of another week, I found several stories deserving of a mention in this Newswrap. There is no unifying theme to the listing for the last few days, but, of course, it was impossible to go a week without at least one snakebot article. And, it is creepy and incredible all in one. …
This week there are stories about robot flies and one story about a robot that could attract flies if it is not careful. For the last three days there have been these stories about flies or more specifically robotic flies. So, this week’s newswrap just had to feature roboflies. Two of the posts that are…
