We Are The Robots
Two Scientists have cracked the brain’s ‘Enigma code’ which could pave the way to create robots capable of human vision. The code, compared to the secret Nazi encryption machines in the Second World War, details exactly what the two regions of the brain communicate when processing visual images. Researchers hope the new discovery could lead to creating bots with the potential for human-like vision.

The most striking thing about this new version is the amazing balance Atlas achieves. You can even push Atlas violently with a hockey stick and hell maintain his balance. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain and help with navigation. – See more at

Google recently put up its Boston Dynamics robotics unit for sale. Google Bipedal Robot. But that doesn’t mean that the company is getting out of the automaton business. The small robot is shown walking in a number of situations that can be challenging even for humans, including a sandy beach, rocky terrain, snow, and a steep, narrow staircase. The video also shows off how the robot can handle uneven terrain while carrying heavy loads, indicating that this could be the precursor to the human labor replacement robot some have been anticipating in recent years.

The SuperDroid HD2 SWAT/EOD Tactical Treaded Robot is an all-terrain remote-controlled robot designed for defense, EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal), law enforcement (tactical, SWAT), security, and surveillance applications. Built like a tank, its sealed (watertight) chassis is made from welded aircraft grade aluminum which is ribbed and gusseted for extra rigidity and strength. The track system is also very robust, using CNC cut rubber treads, composite wheels with 1″ thick timed teeth and Polyurethane idler wheels which provides tolerance to changes in temperature, speed, debris, etc. The SuperDroid HD2 SWAT/EOD Tactical Treaded Robot has the ability to climb stairs and go over most terrain.

WASHINGTON – It may not be the prettiest robot on the scene, but the angular blue creation from Google Inc’s newly acquired Japanese start-up is poised to secure more Pentagon funding to develop a creation capable of venturing into dangerous disaster zones to help humans.
