A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot? 12/18/2003 12:58 PM
It took years for researchers to figure out how to make a robot be able to stand and walk on two legs. In fact, it's so complicated, that some researchers are giving up on that idea and using Segway balancing technology on their robots instead of legs. However, the folks at Sony seem to have taken the concept of the upright walking robot one step further: they've figured out how to make a robot run. That's right, it actually leaves the ground at points while jogging along. It apparently needs a bit of a walking start to get up to speed, and even at running speed, it's more of a slow jog - where it's feet barely leave the ground. Still, it's a start, and with some more work, they believe they can really make the robot run.

Sega to Release USB Version of Saturn
Controller

Sega to Release USB Version of Saturn
Controller 07/03/2004 03:26 PM

Originally planned as just a bundle for a Japanese version of Puyo Pop Fever, heavy demand from fans has caused Sega to release a new PC and Mac compatible USB version of its semi-famous Sega Saturn controller. The controller is the original, pre-Nights version (read: no analog) and will now "match the pearly white of Macintosh products." Although there's no plans to release the $30 controller in the States, it's likely importers like Lik-Sang will sell it via their website -- preorders can be made at Sega Direct, but I don't know that they ship to the US.

It would be very, very nice if the console makers would start releasing USB versions of their existing controllers, with PC and Mac drivers, as well. I'd gladly pay $30 for a USB version of the PS2 controller instead of having to buy a third party breakout box that doesn't always work as intended.

With today's film release of the feature film "I, Robot," the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence has launced a new website, "3 Laws Unsafe", to explore the non-fictional problems presented by Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. The Three Laws are widely known and are often taken seriously as reasonable solutions for guiding future AI. But are they truly reasonable?

Sega Neo Geo Controller for PS2

Sega Neo Geo Controller for PS2 12/29/2004 12:01 PM

For me, nothing beats a good D-pad and an analog thumbstick for gaming, but for the ultimate fighting game championships, it's hard to go wrong with a nice 8-way joystick. And while it's not my favorite stick from history (the metal-shod, Ghostbusters II NES Advantage probably is nearest to my heart), the Neo Geo controller certainly has a certain something, not the least of which is that it was the first home gaming console controller that had a proper joystick (Atari, et al not withstanding).

So all that's to say, Sega Logistics and SNK Playmore have teamed up to release a new version of the classic controller, called the 'Neo Geo Stick 2,' with 4 extra buttons to work with the Sony Playstation 2. It's a strange landscape, isn't it, with Sega releasing an SNK design on a Sony platform.

More Sega PC USB Controllers 12/28/2004 01:07 PM

Sega has released more USB controllers for PCs, available in a variety of new colors, including the always sassy pink. I've never been a Sega controller man, myself, preferring the SNES pad on the whole, but I think it's fantastic that companies continue to release controllers from years past, despite a wealth of conversion dongles that let you use the original units via USB. Why? Because I like to spend money. (Thanks, Rom!)

Direct-to-TV Commodore 64, Sega Mega

Speaking of tiny games, Tulip is releasing a mini Commodore 64 Direct-to-TV [right] which crams 30 different games into a single joystick. Included will be the Summer/Winter/World/California Games series, and the little sticks should be available in the second half of 2004 for around $45.

Even better, at least by 8 bits, is Sega's reissuing of the Mega Drive (Genesis to we Westerners) Play TV, which puts Sonic the Hedgehog (the first one, I'd guess), Golden AX, Kid Chameleon, and more. As Babelfish says about the Mega Drive rerelease, "The sea urchin you felt. Just hard one world is predominated the bosom oak?" The best thing about the Mega Drive is the tiny console they've added onto the power cord.
