Robots to the rescue | Science News

In Hollywood, humanoid robots can do just about anything, including attempt to take over the world. In the real world, however, these bots struggle to do what humans do with great ease, in minutes, things like walking over piles of rubble, getting in and out of cars, moving through doorways and picking up and dropping debris.

For years scientists have tried to overcome these limitations in hopes of using the robots in the rubble of disasters similar to the World Trade Center collapse or the Fukushima power planet meltdown.

MilitarySkynet.com News - These Bad Ass Autonomous Military Robot Weapons will win all our Wars!

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 to prevent strategic surprise from negatively impacting U.S. national security and create strategic surprise for U.S. adversaries by maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military.

To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current practical problems through applied research.

'Robo-suit' lets man lift 100kg - BBC News

Engineers in Italy have developed a wearable robot which can enable users to lift up to 50kg in each extended hand. It could be developed to work in factories or to clear debris and rescue survivors in earthquake zones, they say. The "body extender" has been built by the Perceptual Robotics Laboratory (Percro) at Pisa's Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. The exoskeleton is one of many being developed around the world for manufacturing, therapeutic and military purposes.
