Stand down oh gentle readers and defenders of the flesh, we're getting reports from Detroit that the baton wielding ASIMO did not direct the human race to its doom.

Why is this child so happy? It's because he's taking RINGBO the riding robot by the horns! See his glee as he cruises around for an entire hour at a blazing 2MPH? Hey, it only took six hours to charge up.

Alright, with everything that’s been going on with Pleo in the last week, it’s high time for a disgustingly cute Pleo video. And we’ve got one for you… Here’s Pleo exploring Sea World; make sure to stick around until at least two minutes in:
This particular Pleo is named Pixie, and it seems like she’s something of an ambassador.

Over the weekend, I stopped by RoboExoticUS, a cocktail robotics festival with Austrian origins and a thriving and mostly functional contingent here in San Francisco.

Maybe our robo-challenges speak something to our respective histories: Americans have spent the last few years driving intelligent vehicles through vast expanses of desert, but over in Europe, scientists and technologists are preparing for this fall's Microtransat, wherein machines must sail across the Atlantic propelled only by wind and artificial intelligence.

Sure, we've seen a set of robotic chompers before, but a team of scientists led by one Gaëlle Arvisenet is taking artificial mouths to a new plateau.

Uh oh, it looks like we've got a full-fledged robot controversy on our hands. At the heart of it, as you might have guessed, is the recent obliteration of a harmless Pleo by a so-called ComBot known as Vicious Verdict at Maker Faire 2008.

After an absolutely heart-wrenching video of Pleo being annihilated by a sadistic ComBot emerged yesterday, we're thrilled to add a little balance to the whole thing with a totally heartwarming clip today.

We’ve written about the X-47B UCAS a few times here on BotJunkie, but for some reason, we haven’t been able to manage the same level of access as the Discovery channel.

The video we took at Maker Faire of a rather graphic encounter between a Ugobe Pleo and a ComBot has made its rounds of the internet, and as you might expect, the response has been somewhat mixed.
