iRobot acquired education-focused company Root Robotics

Posted: 23 Jun 2019 11:05 AM PDT

iRobot is best known for its robots used in the home, and now it's looking to enter the classroom with a new acquisition. The company has announced that it has acquired Root Robotics, which sells a robot and platform that helps children learn how to code.

Root Robotics originated as a research project at Harvard University a couple of years ago, and its Robot already looks considerably like a Roomba — it's a small, circular device that uses two wheels to drive around on a flat surface. It's accompanied by an app that teaches children how to program the robot to do a variety of tasks, like drawing (the robot has a hold to place a marker in), creating music or games, and more.

iRobot says that...

The Chernobyl Podcast is a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the HBO series

Posted: 23 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT

In May, HBO scored an unexpected hit with Chernobyl, a five-part miniseries about how the world's worst nuclear disaster unfolded. Like any dramatization of a real-world incident, it takes some liberties to make the story fit into television's dramatic structure. That's where the show's companion podcast comes in: it features Wait Wait Don't Tell Me's Peter Sagal as he interviews series creator Craig Mazin about the production of the show, why they had to make some changes, and what really happened in the real disaster.

Chernobyl is a compelling show, exploring how the disaster occurred and its aftermath. It opens not with the explosion of the infamous nuclear reactor, but of a man, Valery Legasov (the head of the USSR's investigation...

Perchang looks like Portal, but is more like Lemmings

Posted: 23 Jun 2019 07:00 AM PDT

It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.

A level of Perchang in motion looks like a Rube Goldberg machine. You might see little soccer balls flying around the screen being blown by giant turbines, or maybe they're hit with paddles out of a pinball machine. Playing Perchang puts you in control of that Rube Goldberg machine. Though it feels a lot like a simplified version of the classic puzzle game Lemmings, and it's just as difficult.

The conceit of both Perchang and Lemmings is that there's a steady stream of something flowing into the puzzle space. In Perchang i...
