Random Robot Roundup

For those who were wondering about RobotGrrl, she's going to Stanford for the EPGY AI program. Our RoboGrrl story was picked up by several other blogs and, between Styrobot sales, donations, and a $1500 scholarship from Stanford, she was able to pay for the tuition. There's a good interview with RobotGrrl over at RoboJenny's blog. She has a few Styrobots left, so you still have a chance to buy one. Roland Piquepaille let us know about two new robot stories he's blogged about including NASA tests of robotic vehicles and teams of robofish. After reading our recent story on a walking robot distance record set at Cornell, David Buckley pointed out that his robots have done a lot of walking too; some as many as 9km. His robots have taken part in the Walking with Robots program. Finally, Steve Nies writes, "I thought you might be interested to hear about an upcoming conference for teachers using robotics in education".
