The Sea Eagle

UPDATE: THE BOT SEEMS TO BE OFFLINE. THE BOT HOSTING SERVICE IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. The codexero BOT is the result of my experimental approach to getting useful information within the IM client itself, in a hassle free manner. The error rate is at maximum since the back end for the BOT is hosted by a free web server. During the tests the BOT performed quite well, although some down times were experienced. Currently the Codexero BOT can get the latest flight information, display word definitions and display information on places, people and things. codexero@msn.com Some useful commands: info - Display information on a query, example: info Maldives dict - Display word definitions, example: dict hello flight - Display flight information, example: flight sq451. I would appreciate any feedback provided.

An extremely high speed robotic arm which can close its fingers in 1/10 of a second was demonstrated at 2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, May 12 - 17, 2009, Kobe, Japan. The system consists of visual and tactile sensors at a rate of 1kHz and a high-speed hand-arm manipulator. The following video shows Ishikawa Komuro Lab's high-speed robot hand performing impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation. Amazing huh!
