October 5, 2011 No Comment
Old PR2 can already fold towels , play pool and grab an ice cold beer — really, the Willow Garage robot is just one task of short of mastering the day-to-day activities of your average college student. What’s that? It can get a sandwich, too? Never mind. And this isn’t just any “get me a sandwich” command — the stout white ‘bot uses semantic search to infer possible locations for sandwich, using knowledge of similar objects and environmental models. In the below video, you’ll see PR2 make its way to a refrigerator, in search of sustenance, only to come up empty-clawed. Undaunted, it hops on an elevator and makes its way to a Subway sandwich shop. The joint project from the University of Tokyo and University of Munich was recently shown off at recent robotics conference. No word on when PR2 will be programmed to hold the onions.

Second chances aren’t always easy to come by, and when Fusion Garage disappeared off the map following the unabashed failure of the JooJoo tablet , we certainly didn’t expect those doors would be opening again. But open they did, swinging wide as the company treated itself to a product launch of the sort usually reserved for big-named companies with big-named devices. This time it’s the Grid10 tablet, a $299, 16GB, 10.1-inch slate that plays nice with Android while simultaneously thumbing its nose at the OS Google built, instead relying on the completely custom-built GridOS. This new challenger can run Android apps despite not actually running Android itself, purporting to give users another, better choice of armament in these tablet wars. Is it truly better , or is it just different ? The answer is waiting for you just after the break.

In a feat that outdoes even Dr. Evil’s vision of worldwide domination, the folks in Mountain View have reported a staggering one billion downloads of Google Earth. Over the years, the service has taken us around the world , giving us a peak into amazing and sometimes obscure places ranging from the bottom of the ocean to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s also evolved from its humble beginnings as a desktop app back in 2005 to include a mobile app and a plug-in, not to mention a 3D flight simulation used with Google Maps — all features that helped it reach the astronomical milestone. For that, we salute you Google Earth. Check out the celebratory video after the break.
