News Release:
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created specially designed robots called SnoMotes to traverse potentially dangerous ice environments. The SnoMotes work as a team, autonomously collaborating among themselves to gather data that could give scientists a better understanding of the important dynamics that influence the stability of ice sheets.
Advances in ultrasound technology have made it possible to produce 3-D moving images in real-time. Engineers at the Duke University Ultrasound Transducer Group are using this novel technology to guide the actions of a tabletop robot.

The venture capital community has mixed feelings about the robotics industry, the result of few applications and fewer success stories. But can the same the same yardstick used to gauge success for say, Web 2.0 startups (or Web Bubble 1.0), be applied to robotics?
Hospital/healthcare automation is considered one of the ‘sweet spots’ for the new (non-industrial) robotics industry. Pharmacy automation leader Parata Systems has released two products Parata Max and Parata Mini. Parata MAX supports today’s pharmacy workflow needs including increased daily throughput volume and greater fills, while Parata Mini provides an entry level, scalable solution for start-up or smaller pharmacies.
