	<description>Spatial Robots features and critiques control technologies, interfaces and robotics as they pertain to the future of interactive architecture and space. Created by Miles Kemp in 2007, this website showcases architecture, space, interfaces, new media, websites, robotics, nanotechnology, reconfigurable objects, behavioral logic, new materials, and emerging technologies with emphasis placed on projects being interactive and spatial.</description>

Really interesting video talking about how to use parametric software to control objects in space. Lots to think about. Great work over there on so many different levels. More info on the conference website.

Really interesting developments on ultrasonic robotic vibrations. Scientists from Monash University will use the physics of a perfect pizza toss to design the next generation of micro motors thinner than a human hair. 

Advanced dough tossers can perform multiple tosses (tossing the dough repeatedly before it rests in the chef’s hands). In multiple tossing, the [...]]]></description>

I was recently at thefirst architecture robotics conference in Orlando and discussing &#8220;jamming&#8221; prototypes with Cornell phd students. The prototypes I saw were about the size of a quarter and looked quite structural. iRobot is currently developing a soft ball robot that can inflate and move via the &#8220;jamming&#8221; phenomena. iRobot&#8217;s soft, shape-shifting robot blob [...]]]></description>

The Blind Juggler is a robot that is able to juggle a ball on a paddle. The robot does this without any sensing; there are no cameras, no microphones, or any other sensors that could tell the robot where the ball is. Imagine yourself juggling a ball blindfolded. Try it: it&#8217;s no easy task!

The first jumping and rolling robot, Jollbot has been created by Rhodri Armour, a PhD student from the University of Bath. Its hoped his creation, which can jump over obstacles and roll over smoother terrain, could be used for space exploration or land survey work in the future.

Bre Pettis and the guys at MakerBot Industries have recently created an affordable (under $950.00) 3d printing machine. It makes almost anything up to 4&#8243;x4&#8243;x6&#8243;. Build your own MakerBot and it makes things for you. MakerBots print with ABS plastic. More information on their website.

Ralph Hollis is currently pioneering new types of robots that can rotate on a single point. More information can be found here.
