It incorporates a number of sensors that are placed on the user's arm to read muscle information, and help the robot to anticipate the user's intentions. The system has been developed to improve safety and efficiency in manufacturing plants.  <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/researchers-arm-sensors-robot-control/30537/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div>   <div class="summary_item " data-article="30524"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-cell-flagella--sperm-bio-bots/30524/">Tiny aquatic bio-bots swim like sperm and are powered by heart cells</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">January 20, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-cell-flagella--sperm-bio-bots/30524/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122080426im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bio-bots.jpg" title="A diagram and a microscope image (inset) of one of the bio-bots " alt="A diagram and a microscope image (inset) of one of the bio-bots "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> If you were asked to think of something microscopic that moves quickly, chances are that sperm would be the first thing to come to mind. The tiny reproductive cells are able to swim as fast as they do thanks to their long whip-like tails, known as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/artificial-muscle-for-nanobot-motors/20166/" target="_blank">flagella</a>. So, imagine how helpful it might be if sperm-like machines could be used for applications such as delivering medication to targeted areas of the body. Well, that's what scientists at the University of Illinois are in the process of making possible, with the creation of their heart cell-powered "bio-bots."  <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-cell-flagella--sperm-bio-bots/30524/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="30501"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/prosthesis-human-piloted-racing-robot/30501/">Prosthesis human-piloted racing robot aims to usher in a new sport</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/author/lakshmi-sandhana/">Lakshmi Sandhana</a></div> <div class="date">January 17, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/prosthesis-human-piloted-racing-robot/30501/#comments">6 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/prosthesis-human-piloted-racing-robot/30501/pictures">28 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/prosthesis-human-piloted-racing-robot/30501/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122080426im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/antirobot.JPG" title="A rendering of Prosthesis the Anti-Robot – ready to race (Image: Anti-Robot)" alt="A rendering of Prosthesis the Anti-Robot – ready to race (Image: Anti-Robot)"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Who wouldn't want to slip into Iron Man's armor or try out the gigantic Jaegers that saved the world in the movie <em>Pacific Rim</em>?

Is there a place for a skill-oriented, non-robotic walking exoskeleton, that a person would have to master physically by feel, much like how one might master riding a bicycle or using a skateboard? Jonathan Tippet thinks so. He and his team of volunteers are building Prosthesis, claimed to be the world's first human-piloted racing robot. It's a 5-meter (16-ft) tall behemoth that will rely entirely on the pilot's skill to balance itself or walk or run.  <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/prosthesis-human-piloted-racing-robot/30501/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="30487"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/roboearth-wikipedia-for-robots-demonstration/30487/">RoboEarth "Wikipedia for robots" demonstrated</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/author/stuart-robarts/">Stuart Robarts</a></div> <div class="date">January 16, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/roboearth-wikipedia-for-robots-demonstration/30487/#comments">5 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/roboearth-wikipedia-for-robots-demonstration/30487/pictures">6 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122080426/http://www.gizmag.com/roboearth-wikipedia-for-robots-demonstration/30487/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122080426im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/roboearth-demo.jpg" title="A demonstration of RoboEarth has been given at Eindhoven University for Technology" alt="A demonstration of RoboEarth has been given at Eindhoven University for Technology"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> A network and repository of data, where robots can share and learn from each other about the tasks they perform, has been demonstrated at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
