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…

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 …
Located at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah on June 2 and 4, 2011, there was Polish Rover Robots challenge for Mars. The Polish Rover Robots were Copernicus, Scorpio, and Magma 2, which became the participants of this challenge. Polish Rover Robots for Mars were addressed for college students to design and build the next generation of Mars exploration rovers, the next generation rover on mars. This year’s challenge was divided int…
Animal babies are funny and cute almost for all people in this world, perhaps this idea that brought Japan’s toy robot company CCP created Baby Animals. There are baby pandas, baby ice bears, baby tigers and baby lions. CCP is a part of Bandai Namco Group that export toy outside Nippon. These robots are not sophisticated in designs. Each of robots almost has same ability and components. They are equipped with four sensors and two buttons. The ba…

There are three robots offered here, they are Dolphin Dynamic Plus Comfort, Dolphin Magic Robot, and Polaris 280 Robot. All the robots from Piscine Bahamas designed to create easy way in maintain…
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…
Here is the last in lines of INTRA’s robots that canceled to be sent to Japan to help the nuclear leak handling in their damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. Its robot’s name is ERELT that stans for Teleoperated Relay Robot. The main mission of this teleoperated robot is to relay transmissions of radio from and towards other robots. Beside that this robot could also be used in improving the radioelectrical coverage. Other missions that could p…
Bellow is a real robotic prosthetic suit but couldn’t work if you force to use it. The matter is did someone really work hard to make this suit? Yes, he did. He is Michael Rea an-32 years old sculptor from Chicago that currently reside in Milwaukee. Rea is working outside the normal sculpture and jump to the distinctive one. Where he makes wood seen as the only available source of material that he could found in this world. But its nice and cool to have this distinctive robotic in different view. This cool wooden suit robot is tittled “A Prosthetic Suit For Stephen Hawking w/ Japanese Steel” that he made in 2007.
The first humanoid experimental humanoid robot EO could walk in a very slow steps. In 1987-1991 Honda studied on how human walk in order to achieve a fast walking pace for their humanoid robot. This was used to realize their two-legged walking robot. The first model was E1 (Experimental Model 1). E1 was the earliest prototype for the models that could walk in 0.25km/h. E1 moved in a certain different of movement between the two legs.
LAMA or Lavochkin Alcatel Model Autonomous is one of many rover robot that built in order to full fill the rover robot for Mars planet exploration. This robot is built by VNII Transmach in St Petersburg, Russia and bought by Alcatel Space Industries in 1995. LAMA has walked along such evolution, when this robot came first at Alcatel in 1995 it came only in bare chassis with blue box on top of it for the motor control. At the end of 1995 LAMA given several equipments like magnetic fluxgate and two-axis inclinometer. When this robot arrived at LAAS in 1996 a homemade two-axis laser range scnanner was added.
The new future Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of America military robots had to be build smaller, even microscopic drones with smaller weapons that could hunt in swarms and engage targets in the close quarters of urban battlefields as soon as possible. By 2014, the Air Force Laboratory promised that the drone is slated for flight tests, and Sniper is scheduled to begin tests in cruise missiles and UAVs within two years later. Based on the data, one or more Suburb Warrior Robot could fire a volley of mini-missiles at confirmed targets, without vaporizing the wedding reception next door. This Suburb Warrior Robot is prepared for surveillance and reconnaissance like most other UAVs.
There are many kind of outdoor robots that Groupe INTRA developed and one of them is the VERI II B. VERI II B stands for Teleoperated Vehicle for Investigation 2B. This robot now could possibly used for non emergency missions. This remote controlled robot could be teleoperated until 2 km of distance. This robot equipped with rubber caterpillar to move around. Like the other heavy robot from INTRA this robot has 5 ton weight. In completing its work this robot equipped with embarked hydraulic tools like shear, power pick and drilling machine. This robot given an internal and eternal radiological supervision system beside this system this robot also given classified NBC protection like nuclear, bacteriological, and chemical.
Have you ever thought to build a robot from recycle items? Masamichi Hayashi Japanese with his talent as marine scientist and hobbyist changed those recycle items into hundreds marine creature robots. Hayashi itself worked as president of marine education establishment at kyg-lab. All of his works were used as educational tools in teaching kids about sea creatures and locomotion. Bellow is video that shows one of his famous creations the $22,000 coelacanth robot.
