A UMan robotic arm

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a mobile robotic arm which can manipulate objects by 'seeing' its environment through a digital camera. This robotic arm, dubbed UMan, or UMass Mobile Manipulator, can 'approach unfamiliar objects, such as scissors, garden shears and jointed wooden toys -- and learn...

Better 'robot manipulators'

According to this news release from Purdue University, civil engineers, who deal with statics, and mechanical engineers, who deal with kinematics, have unified their efforts to create dual theorems which combine the mathematics of both kinematics and statics. In other words, they've shown that these concepts are in fact analogous....
