The Last Post of 2005
Well folks, it’s here - the last day of 2005. The goal for this post is to clean out my coffers of unused links and start over with a clean slate in the grand ol’ 2006. So, let’s get started!
Here’s a lengthy article from the Economist about how Japan is eschewing traditional forms of solving a labor crisis and instead is embracing robots. Apparently, the Japanese just like robots more than everyone else … woah! … hadn’t seen that one coming.
Missing LEGO’s giving you the blues? Why not machine your own! Derek Anderson at Army of Evil Robots will show you how. Perhaps you can use the new LEGO parts to make a vehicle for the Mini DARPA Grand Challenge contest at Penn State U.
Pictures and video of the HRP-2 "Promet" robot, to be used in construction and manufacturing. Looks very spacey. It just needs glowing red eyes, just like these very cool and cute BlinkyBugs! Looks easy enough to make. Someone want to write up a "HowTo" article?
Can’t walk? Get a robot to help. Use the new robotic walker. Cleverly named, "Care-O-Bot". Catchy, no?
Weblog detailing the construction of a Robo-One. It’s in Spanish though. Translation here. Tito, how about writing an article about your robot for me?
WIRED does the 50 best robots of all time. Johnny Five is angered.
iRobot’s stock is upgraded to a BUY. For the uninitiated, that means, "buy the stock now." The Motley Fool also recently added them to their Rule Breaker’s portfolio (I’m a subscriber).
Another blog detailing the custom construction of a hexapod walker.

A professor at MIT wants to send swarms of tennisball sized robots all over mars. Aptly named, "Marsbots". They use, what looks like, a pogo stick to move around with.
Happy 2006 everyone!
