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…
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…
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…
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….
FIRST organization (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization founded in 1989 based in Manchester, New Hampshire. Its aim is to develop ways to inspire students in engineering and technology fields. Dean Kamen is the inventor who, from the beginning, wants “To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology le…
This robot could be used in different kind of applications like military, surveillance, security service, riot control, hostage situation, police, law enforcement, border patrol, etc. Robotic Weapon is a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) that could be a real versatile robot with the electric 4WD vehicle and night vision. This UGV equipped with all aluminum component to make it strong enough in any different kind of environments. There is a Mil-Sim A5 paintball gun installed on this UGV. This design creates a real law enforcement robot. With the paintball gun, wireless camera, and Pepper Balls attached on it this robot
This is the truly pioneer of today’s robotics; Shakey is the first mobile robot. Shakey was developed in 1966 to 1972 at Stanford Research Institute that is now named Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International. This robot has TV camera on it, shock sensors and range finder. This robot still has the limit ability.
PASADENA, Calif. — The rover Curiosity, which NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission will place on Mars in August 2012, has been rolling over ramps in a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to test its mobility system.
Curiosity uses the same type of six-wheel, rocker-bogie suspension system as previous Mars rovers, for handling uneven terrain during drives. Its wheels are half a meter (20 inches) in diameter, twice the height of the wheels on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers currently on Mars.
This robot model named RL2000 and this robot is recommended for users who have up to 1500-2000m2 green grassed landscape. This robot is a fully automatic lawnmower that cut the grass for you. This robot is a real helpful device to be used on your garden, what the users need to do just set the weekly schedule for this robot and it will depart from its station and do all the lawn daily. When it has finished its job, it will return to its base to recharge the battery. There will be less human help in the process except for the reschedule.
This device appears to be in robotic fashion way, this digital SLR camera product named PENTAX Kr Korejanairobomoderu. Whatever its name means but this digital SLR camera is a limited edition from PENTAX. There will be only 100 devices and each of these cameras priced in 99,800 yen. The manufacturer schedules to sale this camera in January 2011 but you start booking this camera in 24 December 2010. The camera itself is a common digital SLR camera but wrapped in a robotic style. The most astonishing part is that there is a robot head attached on its top.
This big robot is riding BMW R1200GSA and participated in Enduro Africa that runs by Global Enduro. This event is aiming in providing motorcycle for medical personnel to provide urgent medical care in tough area or area that hard to be reached with common vehicle. Graham Merrick will be responsible in riding this motorcycle with his company to travel from John O’Groats to Cape Cornwall. This giant robot will be his tandem in travelling approximately 1000km of tough terrain off road area along Eastern Wild Coast of South Africa.
