Mau tahu apa saja robot-robot itu? Ini dia daftarnya:
1. Monirobo (Monitoring Robot)
Monirobo didesain untuk bekerja di lingkungan dengan level radiasi yang terlalu tinggi bagi manusia. Robot seberat 600 kg ini memiliki lengan manipulator untuk menyingkirkan rintangan dan mengambil sampel. Selain itu, robot ini juga dilengkapi detektor radiasi, kamera 3 dimensi, serta sensor temperatur dan kelembaban.
Robot setinggi 1,5 meter ini dikembangkan oleh Pusat Keselamatan Teknologi Nuklir Jepang dan Menteri Ekonomi, Perdagangan, dan Industri Jepang setelah peristiwa kecelakaan nuklir Tokaimura pada tahun 1999. Mampu bergerak dengan kecepatan 2,4 km/jam, robot ini memiliki pelindung anti-radiasi yang diperlukan untuk melindungi sensor dan peralatan elektronik yang dimilikinya.
2. Rainbow 5
Robot ini merupakan robot pertama produksi Tokyo Fire Department. Diperkenalkan pada tahun 1986, robot ini sebenarnya merupakan robot penyemprot air dan digunakan saat situasi kebakaran terlalu berbahaya bagi manusia. Robot ini membantu menyemprotkan air dengan selang sepanjang 800 meter langsung ke kolam bahan bakar bekas di reaktor nomor 3 selama 13 jam.
3. 510 Packbots dan 710 Warriors
Kedua robot tersebut dikembangkan oleh iRobot Corporation of Bedford di Massachusetts. Robot ini bisa bergerak lebih lincah daripada Monirobo. Keduanya mampu menaiki tangga, bahkan Warrior mampu menarik selang. Kelemahan dua robot tersebut adalah tak memiliki lapisan pelindung radiasi.
4. ERASE, EROS, dan ERELT
ERASE, EROS, dan ERELT adalah robot-robot yang dikembangkan oleh INTRA (Groupe d'INTervention Robotique sur Accidents). Ketiga robot tersebut khusus dirancang untuk mengatasi kecelakaan nuklir. ERASE memiliki berat 6 ton dan memiliki manipulator hidraulis yang kuat. Adapun EROS dikhususkan untuk operasi di dalam ruangan. Sementara itu, ERELT merupakan robot radio relay yang bisa dikontrol dari jarak beberapa kilometer. Pengiriman robot ini dibatalkan karena Jepang mengatakan belum memerlukannya.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
