Carnegie Mellon unveils Internet-controlled robots anyone can build

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed new robots that are simple enough for almost anyone to build with off-the-shelf parts, but are sophisticated machines that wirelessly connect to the Internet. They can take many forms and can be easily customized. Linking wirelessly to the Internet allows users to control and monitor them from any Internet-connected computer in the world. A single new piece of hardware and a set of "recipes" make this possible.

1. Carnegie Mellon scientists develop nanogels that enable controlled delivery of carbohydrate drugs
   08-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Carnegie Mellon University scientists have developed tiny, spherical nanogels that uniformly release encapsulated carbohydrate-based drugs. The scientists created the nanogels using atom transfer radical polymerization, which will ultimately enable the nanogels to deliver more drug directly to the target and to dispense the drug in a time-release manner.

   06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Robots that perform surgery can be driven by surgeons who no longer stand by the patient, but direct the operation from a computer console. In most cases the surgeon is seated at a console within the theatre, only a few metres away from the patient. Now a team of surgeons and scientists have shown that the surgeon and robot can be linked via a 4,000 mile Internet connection, or by satellite.

8. Carnegie Mellon uses new imaging technique to discover differences in brains of people with autism
   10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Using a new form of brain imaging known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), researchers in the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered that the so-called white matter in the brains of people with autism has lower structural integrity than in the brains of normal individuals. This provides further evidence that the anatomical differences characterizing the brains of people with autism are related to the way those brains process information.
