In a world where futuristic developments roll out on the regular, ROBO-STOX took the time to find the need to know robotics news - so you don’t have to. Here are the highlights of the week of Nov. 1-7 in the world of robotics and automation:

MUST SEE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Last week, we told you about the installation of robots in one California Lowe's Home Improvement store. Well, now you can see it for yourself.

This OSHBot has some pretty impressive customer service features. From camera-shape recognition to guiding you directly to the item you're looking for, in-store robots are proving to be great helpers for home improvement.

(eye)ROBOT: Micro-scallop robots are being developed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems that can actually swim through your eyes. While the nano-bots have no distinct purpose yet, this technique - using magnetic fields to power the robots - is exploring relevant fluids of the human body. This development could be the roots for major medical breakthroughs in the future.

MILITARY MUSE: An article about the importance of military robots in the future ran in Army Technology Magazine this month. It covers the importance of robots to keep our soldiers safe. Dr. Paul D. Rogers, director of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center addresses that it is not about replacing soldiers with robots but using the mature technologies we have to help enable and protect them.

INTEL INVESTS: Intel Capital has invested $62 million in a handful of young tech companies for it's venture-capital portfolio. The companies range from that of aerial drones to wearable technologies, supporting the development of the future of robotics.

ROBO-PENGUINS TO THE RESCUE: Scientists are now gaining a bird's eye view on the immediate impacts of climate change on arctic birds. They are doing this by disguising robots to look like adorable baby penguins and monitoring the birds. Interestingly, the penguins are receiving and welcoming to the baby bots.
