ROBOTREX/ROBOCUP, o­ne of the world's largest robotics conventions/competitions, is well underway in Osaka. There's not a whole lot I can do from South Carolina here to cover it, but seeing as how PC Watch is all over it, I probably wouldn't be there even if I were in Japan (especially considering Wireless Japan 2005 is also being held this same week). Anyway, they have a nice article covering all sorts of robots, but in all honesty, there wasn't anything that completely floored me (otherwise I'd be translating it right now). As always, if you want a particular part of the article translated, let me know and I'll take care of it. Click the image below to continue to their article, full of nice pictures and videos of the event.
