Extra Robot Hand help your daily life.
Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are the robotic limbs to help when you have both your hands busy. It is very helpful for field workers, sometimes you do need extra hand but no one is around you.
You can see how the SRLS can help in the above video.

Top 12 Robotics Trend for 2012.
IEEE Spectrum published an article about the latest robotics trend for 2012. Be sure to check it out here:
http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-hardware/robotics-trends-for-2012
List of the robotic trends:
#1 CO-ROBOTS: ROBOTS AS CO-WORKERS AND CO-INHABITANTS
#2 3D SENSING: THE KINECT REVOLUTION CONTINUES
#3 CLOUD ROBOTICS: THE FORECAST CALLS FOR CLOUDS
#4 COMPLIANT ACTUATION: ROBOTS WITH A SOFT TOUCH
#5 SMARTPHONE-BASED ROBOTS: THE NEW ROBOT BRAINS
#6 LOW-COST MANIPULATION: A ROBOT ARM YOU CAN AFFORD
#7 SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES: COMING TO A STREET NEAR YOU
#8 FACTORY ROBOT HELPERS: THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING
#9 RAPID PROTOTYPING: A 3D PRINTER IN EVERY HOME
#10 UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES: CROWDED SKIES
#11 TELEPRESENCE ROBOTS: YOUR AVATAR IN THE REAL WORLD
#12 BIONICS: THE LINE BETWEEN HUMANS AND MACHINES GETS BLURIER

Jumping robot
Tomotaka Takahashi, who is famous in japanese robotic research, released a new jumping robot. The movement of the robot is much smooth, it is really cool!

UCSD stairs climbing robots.
The Coordinated Robotics Lab, UCSD developed small robots that capable to climb stairs and even overcome large obstacles. The robot has to be small, so this special constraint brings them to design robot in an unique way.

Tiny Robot Kit Avaliable. (aka AVRKitCAR)
The Phenonstream is selling a tiny robot kit for $85, includes everything from motor, MCU, wheels, and building plates.
it looks quite solid to me. The SD card slot is actually an I2C interface to the Atmel AVRtiny84 host MCU, I am not sure how to program the AVRtiny84 with this SD card like PCB on your PC or Mac easily, may be more tutorials needed to be presented on its website. But anyway, if you are a hardcore engineer, you can just buy this kit and get the ISP pins out of it and program it yourself with your Atmel ISP programmer. Have fun!
