Science Daily also has a good update of popular subjects:

PS:  A group from University of Illinois is attempting to create an Origami based robot, which is really fascinating in terms of range of motion.

Companies Want to Replicate Your Dead Loved Ones With Robot Clones

 

This should inspires a few Sci-Fi stories, think how creepy it will be to replicate a dead loved one as a robot, or if you are like me and have NetFlix, watch season/series 2 Eps 1 of Black Mirror:

 

Our relationship with technology is more intertwined than Clarke, Asimov, or Dick ever imagined, imagine if you can create a robot based on a dead partner, it's Frankenstein moment of Science Fiction, you owe it to the creation, but fear what you made.

 

The following clip comes from Black Mirror Season/Series 2, Episode 1, it's a scene that Several publications have cited as potential entry for Top 100 scenes in Science Fiction history, a modern day Frankenstein story
