In 2010 at Gulf of Mexico deep down inside the sea level about 1.5km bellow a drilling rig was exploded and caused real serious oil-leak. At this distance it was impossible for human to stop the oil from leaking and spreading into the open sea. BP, as the one responsible for this, hired robots to stop the leaking. Robot here literary describe as submersible vehicle that equipped with high-definition camera, remote controlled arms, connected-cabl…
Next for the number 5 world’s best robot ever built is the Da Vinci Surgical System. Introduced in 1999 this surgical system change the whole concept about operating room. The most innovative system on this robot is the robotic arms used on this robot that developed in replicating doctor’s hands perfectly. In number 4 NASA takes part with their Mars rover robots Opportunity and Spirit. Both robots are the robots that sent to Red Planet in 2003 t…
Japan is an overwhelm country with their robots and I am wondering after the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan and damage their nuclear power plant do they use robot here ? And what kinds of robot they used in Fukushima Dai-Ichi power plan ? The robot that used in monitoring the radiation in Fukushima nuclear power plan are the Monirobo robots.

The supply energy comes from a lithium polymer battery. This small humanoid has a black friendly appearance but has a sophisticated m…
A London designer named Kevin Grennan created weird robotic of armpit with its hair too. Getting more weirdoes this robotic armpit gets sweat just like ours. Grennan thought that with the use of odor the interaction between human and robotic will improve. Like the example in the Grennan’s site where robotic armpit installed on bomb disposal robot like Talon. Whenever the robot undergo on dangerous mission it will start sweating just like human w…

Biorobotics Laboratory BIOROB has futuristic project that could possibly be useful to anyone someday, they envision self organizing furniture or changeable robot furniture. This self organizing robot built from modular robots that able to detect and attach one to others. Each modular robot functioned as block that used to build different kind of structures. These modular robots they named Roombots. So imagine someday in future in your living roo…
In 2003 Walt Disney Imagineering created a raptor-like robot named Lucky. This robot awarded as the Coolest Inventions in 2003 by TIME magazine. The Raptor here is not a wild flesh eaten one but a friendly fellow that stands in 9 ft tall. This friendly fellow robot could walk around, laugh, sneeze, smile, yell, and sometimes it does hiccups!

This is perhaps the future of our communication way, MeBot. MeBot is a robot designed for the communication purpose. Different with telephone or video conferencing this MeBot not only deliver voice and image but also the speaker interactive movement or gesture. This robot can convey the speaker hands gestures, head movement or body gestures.
Cockroaches are known for their super ability in make an adaptation in various conditions. Perhaps this is one of reasons that researches at Texas A&M University’s Nuclear Security Science and Policy Institute has the idea of cockroach as bio radiator detector. They attached radiation sensors to the backs of cockroaches. They hope public-safety officials can be replaced by cockroaches so that human do not have to risk their life in danger position. “Cockroaches really are the perfect medium for this,” says William Charlton
BigDog is a creation of Boston Dynamics. This is the real field robot that can bring heavy load, cross the tough area, run and walk outdoor. BigDog uses a hydraulic actuation system that is drive by engine. Just like its name the robot has four legs like a dog. BigDog elements accommodating to absorb shock and use the energy from steps just like what animal with legs did.
TILK is a robotic clothing used in learning the kinesthetic. Some people in this world have a problem with their physical learning. Those who are in rehabilitation, has improper posture, or those who want to learn dance for example. They should learn the motor learning. TILK offers a new way in studying motor. This clothing will help teacher in convey their lesson.
This is a real simple and attractive idea for me, WAHHA GO GO the laughing machine. This machine was created by Maywa Denki. From the video below you can see that the laughing is being created by the membrane and air. After taking the air fully then the robot starts to laugh in cynical way!
