US Robots Win Big Down Under

An anonymous reader writes "US teams dominated the MAGIC 2010 autonomous robotics competition, mapping and neutralizing simulated bombs at the 250,000 sq. meter Royal Showgrounds in Adelaide, Australia. Leading the pack with a team of fourteen robots was Team Michigan, principally from the University of Michigan, followed by the University of Pennsylvania, and RASR. This contest marks the beginning of practical robots that not only think for themselves, but also actively coordinate with a human commander."

Ah yes Adelaide, the only place a bomb would do $5,000,000 worth of improvements.

I guess that you have never been to Detroit. It's difficult for new networks, though:

CNN: "Look at these pictures before the bomb blast in Detroit and after the bomb blast! Do you see the difference?"

Viewer: "No."
