Travis Deyle writes, "The iconic Pixar animated lamp, Luxo Jr., unofficially debuted in animatronic form at Disney's Hollywood Studios in late June." Rog-a-matic spotted a detailed paper model of a MechWarrior robot. A PDF of the artwork is available for anyone who wants to build their own. He also sent a link to a RoboTokyo post suggesting 5 Robotic Home Makers for Lazy People. Emeka Okafor pointed out an article by Richard Eskow in the always interesting 3 Quarks Daily blog expressing skepticism (and perhaps a misunderstanding) of memetics titled, A Coupla Robot Heads Sitting Around Watching TV. The Swirling Brain noticed a CinemaBlend post claiming the android girl in the Surragates movie poster is copied from the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles teaser art work. What they've forgotten is that the Terminator art itself looks to be copied from the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact. Poly Bug sent a link to an interesting collection of photos, video, and info about Iowa State University's humanoid robot. Know any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we should report?
