We could go on about the uBOT-5's ability to detect when a person has fallen down, check their vital signs, and dial 911 -- but, seriously, is there anything we can possibly add to that picture?

Apparently, Mexico is the place to be if you're a laser-equipped robot with 3D scanning on the brain. Just 11 months after the DepthX robotic submarine mapped the El Zacatón Cenote, the 3D-R1 has managed to collect over 5GB of map data in 3.

Though certainly not the first gizmo designed with aerial photography in mind, the Aeryon Scout is a notch above most alternatives.

Usually when we talk about robot grip strength, it's in the context of being slowly crushed to death during a violent robot uprising, but it appears we now have to fear our bodies being stolen away cell-by-cell as well.

I’m not sure whose idea it was to put some poor kid’s dolls inside this maze, but it’s a good thing that a bunch of very capable robots are competing to find them all.

After some past fiascoes (you should probably not click on that link), you’ll have to wait until after the jump to check out this t-shirt. It’s a visual metaphor that’s funny and pretty tame, unless you say it out loud.
