THIS CAN ROBOTIC

Two items:

Japanese robot suit to let paralyzed move again.

The robotic suit, which slips over a person’s upper body and arms, weighs only 1.8 kilograms (four pounds).When a person who suffered a stroke moves his or her active arm while wearing the suit, the paralyzed other arm will make the same motion by stretching and bending compressors that act as muscles.

“By helping the paralyzed arm stretch and bend like the good arm, patients can remember the feelings of moving the arm themselves,” he said. |Link via Engadget|

Uncrewed aircraft swarm together indoorsÂ

A video shows one of the vehicles landing on a moving truck (wmv format), while using a camera to lock onto the target and landing pad.

In another experiment, each UAV was programmed to automatically land on a stationary recharging station when running low on battery power. Another video shows two aircraft working together to track a moving ground vehicle. The UAVs automatically take turns tracking the target at low altitude. |Link via BoingBoing|
