Workers&#8217; efforts to bring the plant&#8217;s reactors under control have been hampered by high radiation levels, and it is hoped the robots could [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinag.com&amp;blog=6332316&amp;post=841&amp;subd=kristinag&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Ironman and Rocketman, generations have eagerly awaited jetpacks (particularly me!). There have been a number of jetpacks demoed in the last few decades, but these have been mainly messy, dangerous, and let a user fly for only a short while. TAM Rocket Belt for example, lasted for 30 seconds, costing $250,000, and Jetpack [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinag.com&amp;blog=6332316&amp;post=800&amp;subd=kristinag&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw a poster for this interactive, vibrating floor while I was at a haptics and virtual reality conference last month. I finally got a chance to follow up with the first author, and I must say this tech looks pretty cool, though it’s experimental and fairly specialized right now.

		<description><![CDATA[European-based Festo demoed its new, animal-like Bionic Handling Assistant, a robotic arm able to handle delicate objects more effectively than typical, bulky industry arms. Because the arm is sensitive and flexible, the company envisions its use in specialized workshops dealing with food, plants or animals (think gentler automated milking). The robotic arm, inspired by an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinag.com&amp;blog=6332316&amp;post=787&amp;subd=kristinag&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
