MIT Cheetah Robot Lands the Running Jump



Published on May 28, 2015
In a leap for robotic development, the MIT researchers who built a robotic cheetah have now trained it to see and jump over hurdles as it runs — making this the first four-legged robot to run and jump over obstacles autonomously. (Learn more: http://bit.ly/1JYy1bD)

Hexo+ Drones Can Follow You Around While You Ski Down The Lines of Alaska



Recently I posted that I wanted a Lily Drone.  Well, after seeing footage filmed by another new drone company, I have to say I might want a HEXO+ drone instead.





The HEXO+ drone is capable of auto-following and auto-filming you in whatever activity you want to be doing, whether it's skiing, surfing, kayaking, or running away a raging buffalo.  The Hexo+ is designed for everyone to take amazing Hollywood-style aerial shots and videos easily. Being able to fly at a maximum speed of 70km/h, the Hexo+ can be controlled with a few simple gestures on your smartphone. 

Their previous Kickstarter campaign has successfully raised over $1.3 million dollars with funding from more than 2,000 backers from across the world. Now they are taking pre-orders on their website hexoplus.com. The large scale delivery is planned to be in September.



Video: iRobot Demonstrates iSpot Room Mapping Technology to Help Build the Internet of Things

DARPA Building Real Life Terminators Military Robots



Published on Nov 5, 2014
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military. DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

DARPA began as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) created in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the purpose of forming and executing research and development projects to expand the frontiers of technology and science and able to reach far beyond immediate military requirements.[3] The administration was responding to the Soviet launching of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and ARPA's mission was to ensure U.S. military technology be more sophisticated than that of the nation's potential enemies. From DARPA's own introduction:[4]

DARPA’s original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. The mission statement has evolved over time. Today, DARPA’s mission is still to prevent technological surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.

ARPA was renamed to "DARPA" (for Defense) in March 1972, then renamed "ARPA" in February 1993, and then renamed "DARPA" again in March 1996.

DARPA is independent from other more conventional military research and development and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. DARPA has around 240 personnel (about 140 technical) directly managing a $3 billion budget. These figures are "on average" since DARPA focuses on short-term (two to four year) projects run by small, purpose-built teams.
