What's the latest
DARPA-funded robotics project to catch my eye, you ask? You can see the answer in
this article about robotic tentacles. (Be sure to check out the nifty
videos.) Each tentacle has pressure sensors along its length and a camera in the tip. The pessimist in me can help but wonder if a cyborg scientist-gone-evil like
Doctor Octopus is around the corner? On the other hand, the optimist in me is pleased to see that, finally, elephants who've had trunkectomies can hope for functioning protheses.
