What’s happening in robotics?

There are too many robotics related websites to catalog them all. Here are few of them…

IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s Technical Committee on Service Robots website contains a page dedicated to Agriculture & Harvesting Robots, with many links to related activities around the world. [2012-Oct-11: The RAS Technical Committee on Service Robots no longer maintains a website.]

Arrick Robotics’s website has a long list of robotics clubs. One of those, the San Francisco Robotics Society of America has a particularly interesting website. [2012-Oct-11: Still true!]

Robots.net, Robot Gossip, and GoRobotics.net are robotics news blogs.

Artificial Intelligence News, just what it says it is. [2012-Oct-13: Now it points to a Japanese language website.]

I only plan to cover developments which are at least plausibly related to the application of robotics to crop cultivation, except perhaps as a bit of news is so compelling that I can’t help but mention it.

The one-wheel Cubli

Researchers Matthias Hofer, Michael Muehlebach and Raffaello D’Andrea have developed the one-wheel Cubli, a three-dimensional pendulum system that can balance on its pivot using a single reaction wheel. How is it possible to stabilize the two tilt angles of the system with only a single reaction wheel?
