Plug-and-Play Robots

Plug-and-Play Robots 09/20/2004 01:11 PM
A new Scientific American article describes the forthcoming robot chassis from Tom Burick's White Box Robotics. These PC-Bots will be offered with a combination of proprietary software from Microsoft and Evolution Robotics for those who want a plug-and-play robot. Robot builders and experiments, however, will be able to purchase a "bare-bones" version of the robot with a Mini-ITX motherboard that can run experimenter-friendly Open Source software such Linux, allowing the use of robot control software from Orocos, Player/Stage, the Rossum Project, and other standards-based robot control packages. For more information, see our previous articles on Tom Burick and White Box Robotics.

BoingBoing reader Roland points us to this:

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), working under a grant from DARPA, are putting humans riding Segway scooters and robots built on Segway bases on the same soccer team in the hope to encourage the kind of cooperation that leads to understanding between the both. Technology Research News has the story. This could lead to autonomous robot vehicles sharing the roadway with human-driven vehicles or robot building construction crews. Robots designed for specific applications could become practical in 5 to 10 years. Robots that interact with other robots and humans in general applications will take longer -- at least 20 years. This overview contains additional details and pictures of a human and a Segway robot playing together.

The Games N-Gage Doesn't Play 11/07/2003 06:38 AM
With an expensive price tag and a clunky interface, Nokia's N-Gage mobile gaming platform has its share of detractors. But its biggest problem may be the lack of decent games you can play on it. By Suneel Ratan.

Perhaps it says something about the intellectual sophistication of ancient cultures that some of the most entertaining games in existence are thousands of years old: backgammon , Go, manc ala... The now-ubiquitous chess is a relative newcomer, dating back merely 1400 years. One wonders whether Boggle or Mono poly will withstand the test of time so well.

Now We Need Two Screens To Play Games?

Now We Need Two Screens To Play Games? 01/22/2004 03:08 AM
Lots of folks talking about Nintendo's latest efforts to stay ahead of the quickly approaching competition for handheld video game players. Since all those others are trying to take the basic success of the Nintendo Gameboy and build on that, Nintendo apparently decided to rethink the whole concept and go in a different direction. Therefore, they've decided to create a gaming device that includes dual screens. We had reported back in November the rumor that Nintendo was working on a secret new product that wasn't an update to the Gameboy or to the GameCube - and apparently this is it (and, it's not, as we had thought it might be, their "iQue" in-between device). Of course, if you're going to come out with a completely new, funky device, it certainly would help to offer a picture - which they didn't. The idea is interesting, but will require an entirely thought process in creating games. Nintendo says the dual screens can be use to show two different perspectives during the game, or perhaps one screen could show a map and the other could be the in-game perspective. It certainly opens up some possibilities, but in the gaming business, the question is always about what software titles you have, and making it trickier to develop software titles could slow that process down. From the sound of things though, I think Nintendo is kidding themselves if they think this device won't take away from Gameboy sales. How many portable gaming devices do you really need? Also, there's no word on whether or not this device will include any wireless capabilities, which seems to be what many competitors are banking on.
