Robots on the move

Science:
-Video: Robot uses human mind tricks to navigate. Engineers in Germany have been studying human brain activity to improve the way moving robots avoid obstacles. Watch the video inside to see the system in action.
-Why sand is a walking robot's nightmare. It's not just humans who find it difficult to run on sand, even the most nimble robots struggle when faced with a stretch of unstable terrain.
-'Marsupial' robots could roam Mars and the Moon. A spool-shaped robot could one day rappel into steep craters on other planets or moons, anchored to another spacecraft by a rope.

Society:
-Eluana Englaro’s death ends Berlusconi’s bid to keep her alive. Rest in peace Eluana, you suffered enough.
-World treaty to block illegal sea fishing. A measurement finally taken.

The new Japanese Tamagoshi! This is just brilliant, AR taken to the masses... You can check the video or simply follow this link: http://www.geishatokyo.com/jp/ar-figure/figure.html.
