Sigh; I think I've let busyness overwhelm me lately, since I haven't taken any time to think or plan. Instead, I've mainly be doing. That's fun, but not a good long-term approach. So, in an effort to reorganize a bit:

Random links:

• DARPA is setting up a big manipulation effort. I wonder if they're interested in tentacles?
• There's a lot of robotics in mining these days: fleet dispatch systems, autonomous mining.
• A good collection of Nitinol links and info.
• An impressive animatronics video., showing how the mouse the cheese commercial below was animated. Some are very eerie.

My p14p project doesn't work, though I can't figure out why. Sigh. I am making good progress on implementing features, though.
