Robots are learning to walk and run at Delft University
Robots are learning to walk and run at Delft University: "Robots are learning to walk and run at Delft University
By Jason Falconer
Leo and Phides – two planar biped robots built at the Delft University of Technology – are walking and running, respectively. Leo improved its walking gait through reinforcement learning, which shapes behavior by rewarding success and punishing failure. Phides, the running robot, has achieved an impressive flight phase (the period in a running stride in which both feet are off the ground)."

Disney Robots Play Catch With Your Kids [VIDEO]
Disney Robots Play Catch With Your Kids [VIDEO]: "Attention all parents: Disney, the company that wants to absorb all childhood happiness, both past and present, is planning to replace you with robots. Unsatisfied with the secondary love and attention they receive from controlling your favorite characters and cartoons, Disney means to spend quality time with the world’s children in an attempt to feel what it’s like to have a child of its own. (No, having subsidiaries like ABC and ESPN doesn’t count.)"

CBBC Newsround - The poo powered robot invented by Bristol scientists
CBBC Newsround - The poo powered robot invented by Bristol scientists: "
The EcoBotIII feeds off sewage, turning energy from the nutrient rich waste into electricity.
It's hoped the robot could help improve the way our waste is treated in sewage plants - bringing down energy costs.
It's made up of batteries that produce electricity, trays to hold the waste and even a fly trapping hat!"

Dad’s Robot Lab! | lab13network
Dad’s Robot Lab! | lab13network: "Last week, we had some visitors! They demonstrated how all of the robots worked. There were some amazing remote controlled robots and a Lego robot. The name of the person who worked with all of the extraordinary robots was Scott Turner. We were amazed by the robots. Thank you for coming.
The Lego robot could be controlled by the computer. The other robot could do handstands, roly-polys and cartwheels. Some were doing gymnastics, walking, bowing and dancing. The Lego robot just went all over the place!
Emily’s stepdad, Robin, said “It was fantastic – I want a robot for Christmas.” Unfortunately they are £800! And Kris, Kieran’s dad said “Thanks for organising the robot lab … a nice little event, an amazing robot!” "
