(UPI) - QinetiQ North America subsidiary Foster-Miller says it has delivered its 2,000th Talon roadside-bomb-disabling robot to the U.S. military. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100577.php The day may be getting a little closer when robots will perform surgery on patients in dangerous situations or in remote locations, such as on the battlefield or in space, with minimal human guidance. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100578.php Florida Atlantic University has filed a provisional patent for a unique robotic device to assist with the physical rehabilitation process of patients suffering from neurological damages to their upper extremities such as those due to stroke or Parkinson's disease. Inventors, Dr. Oren Masory, chair and professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and Melissa Morris, FAU engineering graduate student, designed and built the device to aid physical therapists and their patients to retrain injured muscles. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100579.php Emotion-detecting robot cars will face off against eavesdropping flying saucers in the English countryside when scientists, academics and schoolchildren compete later this year to design the next generation of military equipment. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100576.php One gray squirrel, its bushy tail twitching, barked a warning as another scrounged for food nearby. It was an ordinary spring day at Hampshire College, except that the rodent issuing the warning was powered by amps, not acorns. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100575.php A robotic goalkeeper is better than human keepers in Germany's football Bundesliga, its inventors boasted Monday as they demonstrated the computer-controlled device, Goalias, to the media. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100572.php Artificial intelligence (AI) being used at the European Space Operations Centre is giving a powerful boost to ESA's Mars Express as it searches for signs of past or present life on the Red Planet. Since January 2005, Mars Express has been using its sophisticated instruments to study the atmosphere, surface and subsurface of Mars, confirming the presence of water and looking for other signatures of life on and below the Red Planet's rocky terrain. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100573.php MERRIMACK, N.H., April 30 (UPI) - BAE Systems is participating in a U.S. science universities collaboration to advance military robotics. The Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology Collaborative Technology Alliance plans to make progress in developing fundamental science and technology for future robotic systems in sectors such as small-scale aeromechanics and ambulation; propulsion; sensing, processing and communications; navigation and control; micro-devices and integration; platform packaging; and systems architectures, BAE Systems said in a statement. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100574.php NEW YORK, April 21 - ICBS Limited (ICBS), a business development and management firm located in New York and Canada, announced today that TrendSoft Ltd., has launched its new i-Trend(R) artificial intelligence stock trading software program.

Do you get up early to shovel the driveway, or just be late to work and pretend you didn't know about the upcoming blizzard? If you have an I-Shovel, you won't need to worry. The robotic shovel automatically detects snow accumulation and shovels the driveway, with no supervision necessary. http://www.robotworldnews.com/100570.php NES TZIONA, Israel (AP) - Israel's newest "soldier" can see at night, never nods off on sentry duty and can carry 660 pounds without complaining. The Guardium, a remote-controlled, unmanned vehicle commissioned by the Israeli military and shown to The Associated Press on Monday, is among the first such machines to be ready for the battlefield. The army said it had not yet entered service, however, and declined further comment.
