NOTICE to SMARTROBOTS.COM customers and visitors.  The Smart Robots site is currently under revision and will be back on line in late November.  In the meantime, welcome to our sister site here at The Robot Channel.

The Robot Channel serves as a comprehensive window into the world of autonomous robots through editorials, projects, the tracking of contests and annotated links.

October, 2002

 


Welcome to The Robot Channel!

This effort began in December 1999, with an opening editorial on the film Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams.  The second and third editorials It's the Software, Stupid and The Last Program lay beginning groundwork for an interactive Robot Channel project that is in the making on self-evolving software for autonomous robots.  AI, The Movie is a guest editorial by Nelson Winkless on the movie, A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), produced by Stephen Spielberg.

The Projects, Contests and Links sections will now be revised more and more regularly with very current material intended to serve as a baseline for our ongoing coverage of the emerging science of autonomous robots.  

A new autonomous personal robot of our own is in the works.  Check out the "X-Robot" project in the Projects section.

The robot kits, robot books, robot simulation software, toys and posters you will find in the E-Store offer a selection of products that will increasingly be focused on the autonomous robot world.  Enjoy what's available now and plan to return regularly.

Your suggestions for this activity sent to me care of robotchannel@aol.com are most welcome.

Autonomous robots are an evolution and a revolution you do not want to miss.
