Robots in the News

A few pieces of robotic news I came across this week!  First, a robot that can recognize itself in a mirror and tell the difference between itself and other objects.  The video is super cute!

Second, and perhaps more interesting, is a new robot driven by a Windows Phone.

The robot is being developed by WPBots and can actually work with Windows Phone or Android.  It's pretty neat and I'd love to try out some programming for it when it becomes available.
