Forget Iron Man: Skintight Suits Are The Future Of Robotic Exoskeletons
Exoskeletons don't have to be the bulky armor-like suits imagined in science fiction. Researchers are developing soft, wearable robots that mimic muscle movements. These "second skins" could potentially have uses in everything from physiotherapy to the military.

We Need Ethical Robots. Asimov's Laws Are A Good Way To Start
The world is approaching the time when robots in our daily lives will be making decisions about how to act. What guidelines should we give them?

Can I Trust My Robot And Should My Robot Trust Me?
It's not just people who need to get better at talking to one another. Space roboticist Riccardo Bevilacqua says we need to teach our machines how to communicate more effectively for robots to reach their full potential.
If we are serious about long-term human presence in space, such as manned bases on the moon or Mars, we must figure out how to streamline human-robot interactions.
