Bots You Can’t Ignore
Bots you can’t ignore
Bite-sized bots at Vanderbilt University, drumming bots at Georgia Tech, and touchy-feely bots at UCLA… it’s all about National Robotics Week at Science360 Radio this weekend. Download the Science360 Radio app to hear our featured podcasts about cutting edge robotics research.
Above: Founding director of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology Gil Weinberg created a robotic drumming prosthesis with motors that power two drumsticks. The first stick is controlled physically by the musician’s arms and electronically by his muscles. The other stick on the prosthesis actually “listens” to the music and plays on its own.

The team, led by mechanical engineer Veronica Santos, is constructing a language of touch that both a computer and a human can understand.

Just Like Fire by Pink
Pink has never been a blockbuster star the way other divas of her era have. We’re much more likely to see a performance from Taylor Swift, or a third one from Beyonce, at the Super Bowl, for example, than from Pink. But sixteen years after her debut studio album, Pink has demonstrated a staying power worthy of respect. Some may attribute this to the strong firebrand persona she’s maintained over the years, which comes through on her new song Just Like Fire, from the soundtrack to the film Alice: Through The Looking Glass. The song has self-assertive lyrics delivered in a somewhat sentimental tone, with a grandiose chorus that reminds me of Katy Perry’s Roar. I probably won’t end up seeing the movie, but I won’t mind if this song comes on my pop music Pandora playlist.
Daniel Buren.
