Finally .... information is on our web site for our Robot Bear Hykim
Yes, we finally have added information about our Robot Bear, named Hykim, on our web site - sorry this took so long but we have so much going at the same time it's hard to get everything done quickly (I'm sure you'll understand). Anyway, the collage from our home page is shown below - be sure to have a look at ALL Hykim's features.
The processing system used in Hykim has been named HyInt, an acronym/abbreviation for Hykim's Intelligence. This will be sold as a stand alone processing system that can be used in any system where Dynamixels (AX, DX & RX) are used. The picture below shows a HyInt fitted to the University of Newcastle's (Australia) CycloidII - they have 2 of these which have been fitted with HyInt for research being done by post-graduate students.
Anyway, have a look at our website - there's lots of detailed information. User Manuals, in the form of Wiki's, are currently being finalised for both Hykim and HyInt.

BEST robot video we have seen for a long time
This is the BEST robot video we have seen for a long time. BigDog is made by Boston Dynamics in the US, on their web site they claim BigDog is 'The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth'. After watching the video below I'm sure you will agree.
The part in the video where the quadruped slips on the ice and is able to regain balance and walk away is amazing. But the part where the quadruped runs/bounds the jumps to me is the most impressive thing in this video.

Mining bonanza drives robot boom
Interesting article online today in The Australian, Mining bonanza drives robot boom.
I remember there used to be some short documentaries on TV (long time ago) where the CSIRO would show of some of it's research. I remember seeing a story once about underground autonomous vehicles - in the short documentary they had unmanned machines navigating through 'tents' that simulated the walls underground. If my memory is correct, then maybe this is one of the items that CSIRO is claiming as it's "robotic mining plans first hashed out in the early 1990s" .
Doing a Google search for 'CSIRO robot mining' uncovers 2 articles written in 2000 on CSIRO's work:
