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 …
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…
As the contract between Shadow Robot Co. and North Carolina A & T University, Shadow Robot Leg is constructed by David Buckley. This robot leg is a human-sized leg robot. This robot leg will be used by North Carolina A & T University for a medical research program. This program is used to analyze myoelectric control of powered prosthetic legs. The program itself will be supervised by Dr. Gary L. Lebby, a Research Professor in the Depar…
This Festo product is called Airacuda, comes from the natural model of design. This fish moves smoothly in water, moves without noise just like a real fish. The electronics and pneumatics are the hidden system that moves the fish from inside. Muscles used to steer the fish in water. The technology used in this fish called Fin Ray Effect. This technology allows the fish move with swinging power resulted from the structure of the fish. With flui…
Playing yo-yo takes a skill in handling the equipment. Festo creates the YoYo driven by the Pneumatic muscle. There are three kinds of size in Festo products, the 16”, 20”, and 24”. This YoYo had shown how the mechatronics can make an automated control in yo-yo. This system linked to the Festo’s competency of automation in using the moving air. Driven by Pneumatic muscle this yo-yo takes the form of Maxwell wheels. [youtube HRkcZVtQh5Q]…
This robot can learn how to make realistic human facial expressions. Called as Einstein, this robot creates asymmetric random facial movements to explore face while the computer measures the expression and then has learned expression output. This unique robot head has about 30 facial muscles, each moved by a tiny servo motor connected to the muscle by a string. In the future, researcher from University of California San Diego, Jacobs School of e…
Shenyang New Song Robot & Automation AG has developed a service robot that can be used for any purposes. The robot that they had created named “the family nanny”. This robot has about 0.8m tall and 25 kg with two wheels and sensors placed on the bottom of this robot body. The sensors help this robot in avoiding obstacles and move freely inside home. This robot could be use as a surveillance robot too. This robot can detect its environmen…
This robot is one of the new solution for those who like to draw attention from consumers and audiences for their business. This robot has already been programmed and computerized to be functioned as an advanced interactive robot. This robot named Millennia and he is available to be hired as your spokesperson. The Spokesperson Robot Millennia is a robot developed by International Robotics. They developed their robot with great body movements, pr…
The Elumotion Sheffield Arm is a robot model of the human upper-limb. The robot has been studied and developed in the Sheffield Hallam University. This robot project try to find the proper mechanical movement that will transform into replica of human arm with the human-like moving arm. This robot will bring the result into the real robot arms creation that close to human arm. In the research processes some university working together on the ‘a…
Scintos G5 is a professional mobile robot platform. This robot project is combining the advantages of industrial and flexibility of research robot. Important things that mobile and interactive robot should have are robustness, longevity, mobility, and flexibility. Those four characteristics are the characteristics of industrial and research robot. The problem is that in developing this kind of combination robot there will be gap. This kind of ga…
A new adult sized humanoid robot has been developed by The University of Osaka and the Osaka Institute of Technology. Named JoiTech, this robot shown up in the RoboCup Japan Open 2010. JoiTech equipped with 22 degrees of freedom and moved by V-SERVO by Vstone. The system used in this robot makes him enable to kick the ball. In that competition JoiTech competed against The Orient’s, humanoid robot from Toyo University.
DustCart robot is a prototype of trash collector robot that deployed on the streets of Peccioli in Tuscany, Italy. This robot developed by Italian researches in order to find replacement for garbage truck. DustCart was a part of $3.9 million cleaning program called DustBot that used to improve hygiene in urban area and started in 2006. Using on-board sensors DustCart could detect pollutant like nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide besides collecting trash. As reported in the Global Post, DustCart collected trash from door to door. Not only could do that task DustCart could differentiate or classified trash into organic or waste.
These retro robots are funky! How the designer design this robot illustration is simple but exciting. Each of tis retro robot illustration made with laser cut, neat and clear. And mounted on 3mm wood board and approximately measured at 65mm tall. There will be 8 robots in each wood board. Cool retro robot illustration collection to be hanged on your kids room.
This is another manta ray twin from Festo. Air Ray is an artificial remote controlled hybrid construction consisting of a helium-filled ballonet and a beating wing drive. The AquaRay can swim in the ocean while this AirRay will swim in the ocean of ‘air’. The AquaRay and AirRay actually works in the same way the only different is in the moving area.
Honda created Asimo, the humanoid robot in Honda Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. This robot builds in 130 centimeters height and lifts about 54 kilo of his weights. Whenever you see this robot you will remember the astronaut wearing his space clothe. This robot designed in this size to give Asimo the free operation in our environment and intended to be companion for people.
This article is about build your own solar powered robot, the own life-sized grasshopper. This robot headed for educational purposes. With the science equipment he has, you can see the potential of solar power can do. This toy built will not demand a lot of thought in build the structure, but it going to take a lot of joy. It is easy to do it. This robot will teach children as well as adult in using the alternative energy.
