Microsoft-powered biped robot makes its debut
It is taken a little while, but it seems that the first robot based on Microsoft Robotics Studio package is now available for sale, although it is far from a consumer bot.

Running a hefty $5,345, the so-called e-nuvo WALK robot from Japan's ZMP (makers of the e-nuvo WHEEL, as well) measures 14 inches tall and is apparently intended primarily for research and education although, as you can see above, it also seems to be a strong candidate for the next RoboCup. According to the AP, those in Japan can place their orders for the robot now, but they'll have to wait until sometime in January before they actually gets their hands on one.

Honda redesigns Asimo:
It is been awhile since Honda redesigned Asimo. 13 years to be exact. The P4 looks a bit more streamlined than the P3, but as you can see it is still the same basic bulky bot we know and love.

Roomba owners should really shut their bots off before leaving their house and arming the alarm system. Here is why. A Roomba in a Denmark home got all hopped up on dust and dirt and tripped the motion sensors. It was just jonesin’ to snort some debris while its owners were out on the town.

Panasonic EVOLTA powered robot climbs Grand Canyon:
Ain nothing like a good robot-related publicity stunt to get the heart poundin on a Sunday. For your consideration, Panasonic offered up a small 7-inch robot powered by EVOLTA AA cells, which willingly participated in a nearly seven hour rope climb of more than 1,700 vertical feet of sheer Grand Canyon expanse.
