Army researchers tested ground robots performing military-style exercises, much like Soldier counterparts, at a robotics testing site in Pennsylvania recently as part of a 10-year research project designed to push the research boundaries in robotics and autonomy.
RoMan, short for Robotic Manipulator, is a tracked robot that is easily recognized by its robotic arms and hands -- necessary appendages to remove heavy objects and other road debris from military vehicles' paths.What's harder to detect is the amount of effort that went into programming the robot to manipulate complex environments.
The exercise was one of several recent integration events involving a decade of research led by scientists and engineers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory who teamed with counterparts from the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, University of Washington, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University and General Dynamics Land Systems.
Many things are taking place:
Biologically-inspired skin improves robots' sensory abilities -- ScienceDaily
Sensitive synthetic skin enables robots to sense their own bodies and surroundings -- a crucial capability if they are to be in close contact with people! Videos for Military Drills For Robots : Researchers 2:56 West Point cadets explore robotics research YouTube!! Inspired by human skin, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a system combining artificial skin with control algorithms and used it to create the first autonomous humanoid robot with full-body artificial skin.
The artificial skin developed by Prof. Gordon Cheng and his team consists of hexagonal cells about the size of a two-euro coin (i.e. about one inch in diameter). Each is equipped with a microprocessor and sensors to detect contact, acceleration, proximity and temperature! 17:03 US Future Military Robots - DARPA Boston Dynamics - SKYNET TODAY . PART-1 YouTube!! Such artificial skin enables robots to perceive their surroundings in much greater detail and with more sensitivity!

'Mr. Robot' Season 4, Episode 2 Recap: Deus Ex Machina - The New York Times
"There's a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I'm talking about the guys no one knows about! Military drills for robots | EurekAlert! Science News ...Army researchers tested ground robots performing military -style exercises, much like Soldier counterparts, at a robotics testing site in Pennsylvania recently as part of a 10-year research project ...!! The guys that are invisible. The top 1 percent of the top 1 percent. The guys that play God without permission."
In the very first episode of "Mr. Robot," the brilliant hacker Elliot Alderson described his quarry in memorable terms. Only now, in the series's final season, does it appear he's truly on their trail — and in their cross-hairs.
Over a dazzling montage of real-world news footage and shiny happy stock advertising imagery, Price tells Elliot and Mr. Robot the story of the real guys behind the guys behind the guys: the Deus Group. Founded after the fall of the Berlin Wall by the ambitious Chinese bureaucrat Zhi Zhang — better known by her hacker alias, Whiterose — this elite organization took advantage of the collapse of Communism by putting the whole world up for sale. The first gulf war , the internet, the rise of authoritarianism, the depredations of late capitalism — all of it was the Deus Group's doing.
Could robots be psychology's new lab rats? | Science | AAAS
Artificial intelligence–equipped rovers could offer psychologists a new — and highly malleable — model of the brain.
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Sending a mouse through a maze can tell you a lot about how its little brain learns. But what if you could change the size and structure of its brain at will to study what makes different behaviors possible? That's what Elan Barenholtz and William Hahn are proposing. The cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, both at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, are running versions of classic psychology experiments on robots equipped with artificial intelligence. Their laptop-size robotic rovers can move and sense the environment through a camera. And they're guided by computers running neural networks–models that bear some resemblance to the human brain .
Barenholtz presented this "robopsychology" approach here last week at the American Psychological Association's Technology Mind & Society Conference. He and Hahn told Science how they're using their unusual new test subjects. The interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Virginia Tech's touchdown robot does push-ups after scores - The Washington Post
New this season at Virginia Tech football games: the machines we all fear will one day take over the world.
Hokies cheerleaders once did a push-up for each point scored by the home team. This season, they've been replaced by a dog-like robot meant to show off the university's top-notch engineering program. It's a little creepy, a little cool and definitely unique.
The quadrupedal machine, made by Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics, gets carried into the end zone after each score on a wooden platform, and with a PhD student manning the controls nearby, twitches its animatronic legs in what can charitably be described as a push-up. (To be fair, the Hokies this season can charitably be described as a football team.)

"We would like to make robots that can walk or run like animals or like humans," said Kaveh Akbari Hamed, a Virginia Tech assistant professor of mechanical engineering.
Robots help patients manage chronic illness at home | MIT News
The Mabu robot, with its small yellow body and friendly expression, serves, literally, as the face of the care management startup Catalia Health. The most innovative part of the company's solution, however, lies behind Mabu's large blue eyes.
Catalia Health's software incorporates expertise in psychology, artificial intelligence, and medical treatment plans to help patients manage their chronic conditions. The result is a sophisticated robot companion that uses daily conversations to give patients tips, medication reminders, and information on their condition while relaying relevant data to care providers. The information exchange can also take place on patients' mobile phones.

"The way we deliver health care doesn't scale to the needs we have, so I was looking for technologies that might help with that," Kidd says.
