Developed by researchers at the Aerial Robotics Lab of the Imperial College of London, the robot is less a prototype and more a test platform for a theory of mobility! Could this jumping robot make a splash in wetland warfare ...wetland...Could this jumping robot make a sp lash in wetland warfare? ...27. Researchers in London used a chemical engine that reacts with water to hop a robot from pond to pond. Read More. A Pentagon experiment to process the torrent of data from space. ...26.!! Could an alternative means of propulsion power a floating electric robot through the air and over obstacles into new bodies of water?

"One of the principal challenges in the development of such vehicles is that the transition from water to flight is a power-intensive process," write the authors. "At a small scale, this is made more difficult by the limitations of electromechanical actuation and the unfavorable scaling of the physics involved."

Watch films like Back to the Future and you may laugh about what people predicted the future to hold, but every year something happens that seemed like it would never be a reality.
The four to 11-year-olds surveyed could see robots being useful in the canteen, as teaching assistants and as school caretakers, and over a quarter said robots would be good at patrolling the school zebra crossing.

Children didn't think the robots would be very good at human interaction and so wouldn't be able to help if they were sad or worried, or know how to make them laugh.
Patterning Precision with Floating Magnetic Microrobots | Imperial News | Imperial College London
A new, more precise system for creating miniature medical micro-tools that may someday be used in minimally invasive surgery.
To help meet the growing demand for miniature tools like micro-catheters and micro-tweezers, scientists at the Hamlyn Centre led by Professor Guang-Zhong Yang have devised a new, more precise system for creating micro-tools that may be used in minimally invasive surgery! Jumping on water: Surface tension–dominated jumping of ...Koh et al. studied water striders to determine the structure of the legs needed to make jumping possible, as well as the limits on the range of motion that avoids breaking the surface tension (see the Perspective by Vella). They then built water- jumping robots to verify the key parameters of leg design and motion. Science , this issue p.!! Their most recent paper on “Floating magnetic micro-robots for fiber functionalization” is published in the latest issue of Science Robotics this week.
