Smooth motion of robots like human or animal will be happen soon. Scientist at NanoTech Institute, University of Texas at Dallas have developed Carbon Nanotube Aerogel Muscles, which stronger than steel, and the best is its superelastic. As reported on science, NanoTech Institute they have demonstrated a fundamentally new type of artificial muscle, consisting almost exclusively of carbon nanotubes, which can operate at extreme low temperatures …

Sandia was developed a mobile robot that could launch projectile named Fire Ant. This robot was Sandia’s first robot that is able to use an autonomous stand-off mine to eliminate enemies. The mine used in this robot named as EFP that stands for Explosive Formed Projectile. Sandia uses their previous robot named Dixie as the base to build Fire Ant. Some support system used in this robot to attack enemies. Like the video motion detection that used to target the selected enemy.
