Smooth motion of robots like human or animal will be happen soon. Scientist at NanoTech Institute, University of Texas at Dallas have developed Carbon Nanotube Aerogel Muscles, which stronger than steel, and the best is its superelastic. As reported on science, NanoTech Institute they have demonstrated a fundamentally new type of artificial muscle, consisting almost exclusively of carbon nanotubes, which can operate at extreme low temperatures …
…ervised by Dr. Gary L. Lebby, a Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This robot length is 450mm, foot length 240mm, ankle height 90mm, and toe length 70mm. This robot uses an artificial muscle and has walking speed just like a normal human speed in a domestic environment. [youtube eZUfVivcLuA]…
Developed by Festo this Fluidic Muscle is a new kind of Pneumatic drive. The bionic muscles constructed with a hollow elastomer cylinder attached with aramid fibers. When this muscle fills with air the diameter will increase and the length is contrast. It enables a fluid and elastic movement. The use of this muscle not only allow motion sequences that approach the human movement in kind of kinematics, speed and strength but also sensitivity. t…
ABIOMED has been developed and tested this artificial heart for three decades. Named AbioCor this artificial heart is the world’s first completely self contained replacement heart. ABIOMED creates AbioCor in order to supply heart when someone has a heart failure, this way people could gain the ability, again, to enjoy life. AbioCor designed to keep up human’s circulatory system. It was said that this artificial heart used in end stage of heart…
It was included as one of the 2009 Best Inventions by TIME magazine, The Jaipur Foot. While manufacturer tried to make invention that could help people to walk like normal people with artificial leg that close to real leg, they forget that some people that need this help will not have much money to pay those technology or even imagine it. But in 2009 a team of Stanford engineering students designed an artificial limb that was affordable for pe…
This is the newest robotic invention from the land of robotic Japan. It seems that tsunami and earthquake cannot stop Japanese from their creativity in creating such innovation. It was shown up in the opening of Digital Content Expo which was placed at Tokyo. This artificial arms was able to make clapping sounds just like human makes such sounds with their palms of the hands. The developer called this artificial clapping hands robot as Ondz. The…
Our skin has the important part as our biological parts of our senses. As we know, that skin functions in touching certain objects in order that we can differentiate it. This fact is going to be applied in robots by the scientists at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. They try to develop a synthetic skin for robots that has the similar quality of our skin, an artificial sensitive skin. This artificial sensitive skin for robots is th…
In 2004 Ossur in partnership with MIT developed an artificial intelligent prosthetic knee system named RHEO KNEE. Called to be intelligent with the ability in smartly adapt to people’s walking style and environment. This intelligent knee works smoothly with the support of microprocessor swing and stance knee system. This system independently learns the way user walks, responses and recognizes the speed, weight, and environment. It adapts quick…
…ity who made robot that built with cloud structure and used light weight carbon with helium. This remote controlled robot will be controlled from distance to shield 82.250 spectactors at Lulanic Iconic Stadium from heat. This artificial cloud robot will be arranged to move following the sun so that spectators will always be covered from heat. After selected as the 2022 World Cup Host Qatar worked quickly to create system that able to reduce heat….
The Music Playing Robot by Toyota is a continuously collective project by the Toyota in making the robot that assists the human activities. The robot developed to show kindness and intelligence. Toyota developed this robot in using tools like trumpets, tubas, and drums. They acts with moving their artificial lips, using their arms, hands, and fingers in playing the tools just like what human used to do. There are two types of Music Playing Rob…
Robot always linked to something that will destroy our world or killed human. All of that we get from science fiction novel or movie, but Anna-Karin Bergkvist has some different perspective about robot. Anna would like to show her conceptual design of four legged, extendable planting arm and head, and a body that used as sheet carrier of tree planting robot. This robot should be built in small size for efficient movement around new planted sheets or given ability to destroy competing vegetations. As friendly environment robot this robot will be powered with forestry waste and steam. 320 sheets will be carried by the robot and be planted on target places.
Like what Israel did along the border to Palestine South Korea also deployed robots along their border to North Korea. It was said that the robot used along the border could detect and kill intruders along the border. These robots equipped with systems to support it tasks like surveillance, tracking, firing, and voice recognition system. It was at guard post of central section in Demilitarized Zone that separate the peninsula the robot installed. These sentry robot units worth about 400 million won and could detect heat and motion to reduce threats.
This is the robot by IRobot developed together with Boeing. This robot specially designed to replace human army and keep public away from dangerous condition. The robot that is being developed by the two companies is the 310 SUGV and 320 SUGV. This robot can do such action like surveillance, bomb disposal, and inspect and detect the explosion.
This roommates robot, TUM-Rosie and PR2 (TUM’s James) together demonstrated making and serving pancake. Here in the demonstration PR2 worked in open and close the cupboards and drawers, removed the pancake from the refrigerator and give it to Rosie. Rosie worked in cooks and flips the pancake and finally gives it back to PR2. In his demonstration the collaboration of the robots showed how they could recognize object, grasp and manipulate object, navigation, and multi-robot cooperation.
HOAP is a research platform robot that opened for any custom robot project. This 48cm tall and 6kg weight robot is made in order to be platform robotic for universities and business researches. Much parts and programs on this robot is made in order to be customized by the next researchers. With the occurrence of HOAP, Fujitsu hopes this robot presence will allow the freely of robot development. The first HOAP-1 robot was sold on the September of 2001.
There are several others toy cameras that shaped in camera but could transform into robotic toy, but most of them are not working camera. The Voltron Starshooter 110 is a toy camera that means to be real camera and toy. This plastic toy camera could be shaped in common SLR-like camera that use 110 film cartridge. The cool thing about this camera is that user could transform this plastic camera into robot toy, Voltron StarShooter. The robot has a cool appearance with view finder on its chest and lens on its stomach.
