Have fun with KrisTech's Robot Magazine for robotics students and enthusiasts. Great resources for practical robot design, robotics news, useful links to robotics resources, plus robot art and photo of Mars rover Sojourner.
Discover Dante II, a tethered walking robot that explores volcanoes. Developed by the Intelligent Mechanisms Group at NASA, robots like Dante may one day explore other planets.
The robot contest at the annual meeting of the American Association of Artificial Intelligence is designed to demonstrate the best efforts from the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. This site contains complete description of both contests, instructions to robots and more about the competitions seen on FRONTIERS.
Visit the Newton Research Labs, the group that created M1, the robot that tied for first place in the Clean Up the Tennis Court event at the 1996 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition and Exhibition.
The designer of the winning robots in the maze contest is Kurt Konolige, who also built the robot Flakey, seen on FRONTIERS in an earlier season. Visit this site to find out more about Flakey and his creator.
Find out more about Kurt Konolige and his robots seen on "Mazes and Squiggles" by visiting his home page, where you'll find photos and descriptions of his robotics projects.
In 1995, researchers from the Robotics Lab at CMU "drove" the van seen in the segment "Look, No Hands!" (Navlab 5) from Pittsburgh, Pa., to San Diego, Calif., as part of the "No Hands Across America" project.
Take a drive on the Information Superhighway to Navlab's home page for a description of systems used by vans on the segment "Look, No Hands!"
Discover how Thomas Miller, seen on "Toddler's First Steps," is teaching robots to walk at the Robotics Lab at the University of New Hampshire. Click on UNH biped robot to see photos and movies.
