0130WarmUp

What's a Roomba? A latin dance? A vacuum cleaner? Huh?

What's a Pakbot? A mechanical beast of burden? A motorized backpack?

They're all developed by a company here in Massachusetts called IRobot Corp.

Check it out @ http://store.irobot.com/corp/index.jsp

There is another group developing a robot that can jump and roll maybe intended for space exploration. See a demo @ http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16190-video-jumping-rolling-robot-avoids-all-obstacles.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news
