Did you know?
- ... that Jean-Claude Latombe's motion planning algorithm Probabilistic Roadmap Method not only applies to robotic motion planning, but can also be used in protein trajectories simulations? (October 20, 2008)
- ... that John J. Leonard, a professor at MIT CSAIL, developed a vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for mapping the RMS Titanic? (October 13, 2008)
- ... that Matthew T. Mason, a professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, developed the first origami-folding robot in 2004? (October 8, 2008)
- ... that a flower robot mimics the appearance of a common flower and contains simple sensing and home appliance functionalities, thus making it a service robot? (August 22, 2008)
