PR2 Robot – Dynamic Movement Primitives

Willow Garage’s PR2 Robot was already programmed to find it’s own outlet.

Now it’s learning how to generalize simple tasks, like taking a bottle and pouring it’s content in a cup.
This is a relevant step in robotics because the robot learns the task (and not only a set of instructions or movements), meaning that even if the bottle and cup are in different places, PR2 will still be able to perform the task.
Neat!

Vaporware – Moller’s Sky Car

Remember this one? It came with a promisse of being the first fully functional commercial flying car.

Moller – the company behind the Sky Car – released several photos, projects and the above video test presenting advantages over other flying car sollutions with a schedule for full product release seeking investors.
This was back some six years ago.
I read about it in at least a couple of big magazines here in Brazil, with full articles and stuff.
Current status is: No new material was released so far, several schedule delays, a lawsuit and lots of people who payed for it in presale never got any return for their money.
Nowadays we possibly have better ideas and technology to create a real fully functioning flying car… so I can’t say what the future for the Moller’s Sky Car will be.
