Robots are ... needed to fill the ranks of a military that is desperately short of troops and facing growing criticism over civilian deaths. While flesh-and-blood troops can be subject to embarrassing prosecutions, robots have an advantage that must surely appeal to the Bush administration. Being a robot means you never have to say you're sorry.

Helen Greiner, one of three co-founders and current chairman of iRobot, believes the market for home and office robots is about to grow. She started iRobot in 1990 with fellow computer-science student Colin Angle and Rod Brooks, a professor in the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and she holds two degrees from MIT, a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and a master's in computer science.

Sepro’s new dual-arm, all-servo Axess Twin is suited to three-plate molds and simple pick-and-place applications where three-axis servo robots may have been uneconomical in the past. The new model features two vertical arms on a single horizontal beam, where the primary robot grabs the part and the secondary robot picks the sprue. The dual arm can be applied to the three models in the series for presses up to 600 tons. Standard features include capacity for simultaneous motions on all three axes and multiple vacuum and pressure circuits to allow degating or selective part placement. Sepro’s exclusive Y-Free function provides for programmed release of the strip-axis motor, allowing free movement of the robot arm and load-free ejector tracking.
