Robotics New Jan 31st 2010

At this years CES, robots were everywhere. Here are some of the latest robotic creations:

1. Iphone controlled robotic helicopter

Developed by Parrot A.R, the Drone uses the iphones motion sensors to fly through the air. It has a built in camera and can connect to the internet via wi-fi.

2. Neato Vaccuum robot: very similar to the roomba, the neato robotic vacuum developed by USA Neato essentially looks the same too. There isn't much more to say.

3. Lego NXT 2.0: This actually came out in August but I had to mention it. The new NXT set from Lego features a colour sensor, 3 servo motors, a touch sensor, and ultrasonic sensor. with around 600 Technic pieces you can create anything you can think up. I'll be posting some of my creations soon.
