NASA's Cool Robot of the Week

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mini-me dept.

S.Bartfarst writes "NASA's Cool Robot of the Week (which apparently is about a month long) has produced a huge spike of activity on our web page from .gov and .mil domains. Most interesting are a long series of hits from uspto.gov. Maybe looking for "prior art?" I wonder how much of this Dean Kamen already has tied up?"

    nBot, David Anderson's two-wheel balancing robot goes the Segway one better by getting rid of the pesky human!


    Well that didn't take very long to find :). Maybe I should one-up nBot by getting rid of the balancing mechanism and adding 2 more wheels :-).

    okay, did some quick babelfish translations:

    "Coolly robot of the NASAS of the week (those approximately a month long is apparent), produced a very large point of the activity on our 4web PAGE out gov and mil areas"

    Not much better, but I'm digging that word coolly. ;)
