Researchers have developed software that lets users control robots over the internet with off-the-shelf virtual reality hardware.
Software enables robots to be controlled in virtual reality
While engineers have had success building tiny, insect-like robots, programming them to behave autonomously like real insects continues to present technical challenges. Engineers have recently been experimenting with a new type of programming that mimics the way an insect’s brain works, which could soon have people wondering if that fly on the wall is actually a fly.
Engineers program tiny robots to move, think like insects
Social robot Jibo is adding music to its repertoire of skills. Jibo and iHeartRadio have teamed up to launch Jibo Music that will stream iHeartRadio Original stations through the two speakers atop the robot’s head. The Jibo Music skill will be available to all robots on December 18 via a free, over-the-air software update.
