We've got a couple of interesting robot stories this week.

One is about scientists in Japan who "have succeeded in controlling a humanoid robot with signals picked up in the U.S. from a monkey's brain and transmitted across the Internet....."

The other is the University of Colorado Hospital using a robot to mix chemotherapy drugs for patients in an effort to eliminate human error and safeguard technicians from dangerous drugs.
