“Football is a beautiful game and a difficult game,” said Dr. Subramanian Ramamoorthly, an assistant professor in the School of Informatics at Edinburgh University who is overseeing the creation of the robots football team. The attractive sport in the world has influenced the science and technology knowledge. It is proved by the enthusiasm of each country in the world in doing the best preparation for RoboCup Competition at about 40 nations have…
These robots, in case, are the world’s first receptionist and guidance robots to be used on private hospital. The robots were placed at Aizu Chuo Hospital of Aizu-wakamatsu in Fukushima. These robots bring camera that used to monitoring the security around the hospital. The guidance robots used to guide visitor to elevator and bring their baggage. These guidance robots were autonomous robot that able to find its own recharge station when bettery…
Here is one unique concept of restaurant that probably you should try if you were travelling to China. The restaurant located in Jiang the Shandong Province of China and named itself the Dalu Rebot Restaurant. Dalu Rebot could serve about hundred of customers with the help of robots as their receptionists and waitresses. Totally there are eight robots in this restaurant. There are two receptionist robots, two drink serving robots, two small serv…
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…
On their site it is tagged that “Our robots mean business,” it is all true that their robots are open for business especially for entertainment businesses. Hiring ATLAS’ robots could be something awesome as well as different to your reputation as the host of the party. Their robots could greet, motivate, and of course entertain the entire guests on your party. They could dance with your guests, throw some jokes, or just play around with them. Ch…
This is the new product from Festo. The Aqua Ray is a controlled fish driven by water hydraulics. This concept came from the manta ray. The fluidic muscle from Festo used as the central drive and control unit in this product. The design based on the fish anatomy, that what makes it possible in copying the natural model perfectly. This Aqua Ray can be maneuvered perfectly and extremely well. With hydrostatic glider and an active wing beat the f…
Stands in 50cm tall and weights 13kg this robot is mimicking the ability that fish has. This robot can move in speed of 1.4km/h. Like the previous BR23C this robot is a master in avoiding obstacles. Eporo also projected to be a future technology that could prevent accident in the highway. Complete with laser this robot can make a 288 degree wide view. Bigger than the BR23C that only has 180 degree wide. Like I said before this robot is mimicki…
The unbelievable idea of the Bluebotics, a company which specializes in robot service, which has developed the musical robot stars. These musical robot stars were used as play performance robots in Switzerland. The play performance entitled Phantom of the Opera has been performed on May 1 until 17th at the Barnabe Theatre in Servion, Switzerland. The story told about a lonely human man who lives in isolation with just his robots, and what happen…
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 …
McSleepy and DaVinci are robots that done a surgery in removing a man prostate. This surgery is done in McGill University Health Center, Canada. What makes it big news is that this surgery is the first ever surgery done by robots. The robots have a different specialty. McSleepy is a special robot that focused on anesthesia. While DaVinci, is a special robot that do the surgery. The process of the surgery is done in a strict supervision. The ro…
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.
In February 2009 a pair of robot was shown up in Kansei Tsukuba Design. This was Hiroshi Kasai’s Gemini. Hiroshi Kasai is a designer in Tsukuba University. Gemini actually is a concept robot. This robot worked in explaining about the information on the work of art in that gallery. By listening to these robots’s conversation the viewer will know about the work. But this was just a conceptual idea or models that quite brilliant of course.
This is what happen if robot was born in the land of robotic of Japan, they were included into traditional event. As we know Japan is a powerful country in a matter of robotic but they originaly still hold well their culture. Wakamaru is a modern high-tech android robot designed by Mitsubishi Heavy industries. Mitsubishi designed this robot for domestic and office work purpose. In 2009 this Modern Wakamaru Robot was included into one of the most famous festival in Japan. Modern Wakamaru Robot took place as participant in the Osaka Tenjin Festival. The Osaka Tenjin Festival is Japanese old festival that held at streets and rivers of Osaka every July.
Waseda University have built a cool new stuff of bipedal robot that has chair on top of it. This chair is used by the operator to sit and control this robot. This cool bipedal robot stands in 2-foot tall and uses combination of hydraulics and algorithms. With the combination people could use this robot saunter around, even in a dangerous area in house like staircase. This bipedal robot named as the WL-16IV. The highlighted ability of this robot of course not only that by using this robot you could move around in a chair-built-in-bipedal-robot but also experience steps on staircase with bipedal robot.
JVC shown their humanoid robot at the CEATEC JAPAN 2004 trade show, this robot was called J4. J4 is a small humanoid robot by JVC that awarded the Coolest Inventions of 2004. J4 equipped with two cameras inside its head. These cameras were planned to support face and obstacle recognition, and animated LED eyes. For speech recognition JVC engineers used built-in microphones. This made you verbally order him around, or take control via Bluetooth.
Beside VideoZoom10x Aeryon Lab Inc also has the daylight camera that weighted merely 112 grams. This daylight camera is one of the most light weight daytime image payload with high resolution image that available in the market. This Aeryon’s daylight camera features 5 Megapixel camera with several features like high quality video, low weight digital camera, weather proof enclosure, quick-connect insertion and removal system, roll and pitch movement at 300 degrees per second, range of motion +/- 60 degrees in roll;
