Dancing Lego Astronauts

Well, the headline is not entirely accurate, but no doubt it got your attention! There are four articles, all related to robotics.

The first on Canada News is about the ascent of Lego into children's lives, an even researchers -- One brick at a time. It's very interesting to watch the timeline, how things have slowly changed to become close to the cutting edge of robotics and AI research!

The second article is at Wired, discussing how robots fit into the art of dancing; Borg of The Dance. Interesting discussion about the integration of technology with art, and how embracing this union is a good way of not being taken by surprise by it.

The third article is about NASA's plans to have fully automated robotic boosters that shoot in and out of space automatically, which you can read more about in the Nando Times; Space Shuttle Replacement May Eliminate Pilots.

Finally, quick mention of another Wired article about the first 10th annual FIRST Robotics National Competition, which aims to promote kids developing robot inventions -- Kamen Gives the Kids a Shot.
