		<title>Agile Justin: DLR&#8217;s Rollin&#8217; Justin Gets a Younger, More Agile Brother &#8212; Pair Combines to Play Catch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just received word from Berthold Bäuml, a lead scientist in realtime dynamic motion planning at DLR, that they&#8217;ve developed a new humanoid robot named &#8220;Agile Justin.&#8221; &#160;Agile Justin is very similar to Rollin&#8217; Justin (the ball-catching, Pulp Fiction-dancing robot), except that it has improved dynamic performance. &#160; To test the new hardware, DLR researchers [...]]]></description>

		<title>JamBots: Soft Robots Based on Particle Jamming, Like this Hexapod from iRobot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[iRobot has received ample attention for their particle jamming innovations (ie, the &#34;Jamming Blob Robot&#34; and &#34;Jamming Gripper&#34;), created under the now-expired DARPA Chembot program.  However, if you&#8217;re like me, their particle jamming actuators and hexapod &#34;JamBot&#34; probably alluded your attention &#8212; and they&#8217;re stinkin&#8217; cool!   That said, I&#8217;d like to introduce you to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Impact Factors for Robotics Journals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article is specifically for folks in academia&#8230; When writing a journal paper, targeting the right venue is an important consideration.  There are lots of factors that go into this decision: audience, prestige, historical topics of interest, turn-around time, open access, etc. Discussing all the considerations in detail is too taxing and is probably not actionable (it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
