Could Battery Advances Mean a Better Robot?

Every robot has its limit. For the famous Roomba vacuum, it’s two to three hours. For the several thousand robots deployed in Iraq, about the same. For the warehouse robots sorting our sneaker orders, eight hours. And the Energizer Bunny? Forget about it — a few minutes, tops. [More] View full post on Scientific American [...]
