There were three robots that belong to a family of underwater robot that developed under Aqua Project. There were robot Aqua that developed in McGill at Mechatronics Locomotion Lab, Ramius, and Kroy that built identically to Aqua. Aqua was an underwater robot that has six legs and flippers and ability to swim and dive. In January 2007 these three underwater robots were brought to Barbados for trials. They performed in an open water trial that ro…
Lot of robots is competing to find a doll inside a box in a competition named RoboCup Rescue. This competition challenges those robots in navigating and mapping a complex 150 square meter of replicated disaster area. The dolls wiggle around, make noise, release CO2, and get warm, create condition like real babies or people in an emergency condition. The scores are counted by calculating how many dolls they can find and how accurate the robot can…

Not only outdoor inspection robots that Groupe INTRA developed but also indoor robots. One of the indoor robots is the EOLE. This robot name stands for Robotised Device for Observation and Localization in the Environment. This robot given some equipments to do mission like caterpillar base and remote controlled manipulator arm. This robot also given Lithium-Ion batteries to support the operation. This batteries allow EOLE performs mission about 4 to 7 hours operation. For the control of this robot has typically the same control with another INTRA’s robot EROS.
Aldebaran Robotics that is based in France shown up their skillful robot Nao. Nao now can be come the coolest humanoid robot in market. Nao can be the family companion which self-governing.

Dream comes true is the right words for this one, the combination of aircraft and car has been unveiled. Named the Transition this vehicle greatly built to own a fabulous ability. Users could use this vehicle with the full wing stretch to fly over the sky. But when it landings user could fold the wings and drive it like a car. This roadable aircraft is developed by MIT’s aeronautics engineers, including the co-founders of Terrafugia Carl Dietrich and his wife Anna Mracek Dietrich. This vehicle has a 100-horsepower engine power and could fly two passengers in 500 miles away.
Dragon Runner is a small unmanned ground vehicle or SUGV that is able to let its users to see around small and tied places in urban environment. The small unmanned ground vehicle Dragon Runner was developed by engineers in QinetiQ. Originally this SUGV developed by the U.S. Marine Corps while QinetiQ only takes part in improving its ability and equipments. The basic model of this robot weights only 14lbs with measurement of 12.2 x 16.6 x 6 inches. The development of small unmanned ground vehicle Dragon Runner in QinetiQ did not change any original design significantly but added combination of treads on it.
Bandit is personal robot that will become your trainer to do exercise. This assisting robot is developed by students at USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering. Frankly this robot looks creepy! Bandit will stare at you until your laziness jump out and you do the exercise. Perhaps this is why it becomes the trainer not the trainee. Currently Bandit helped the University of Southern California Center for Robotics and Embedded Systems in conducting on exercise training. In this training Bandit worked as trainer for 70 volunteers of all ages.
