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 …
This Robovie is much smaller than the previous series with the 230mm of tall and weights at 579g. Several features that this robot has are the robot performance, simple as well as inexpensive robot kit, and transformable both exterior and style. For the robot performance Robovie-nano is more stable in walking. Uses VS-RC003HV as the board control and the 15 degrees of freedom (one for the head, six for the arms, and eight for the legs) the ro…
FIRST organization (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization founded in 1989 based in Manchester, New Hampshire.

It is an incredible thing that could happen to us in this lifetime. One of assistant professor in University of Washington named Babak Parviz and his colleagues in 2008 made a prototype of what so called “bionic contact lens”. Yes it was a prototype still, but with the rapid pace of today’s technology it would be a real great thing to have this device in our daily. What this lens could do? Wearing this Bionic Lens people could reach the advance…
…ino is standing in 35cm tall and weighted at 1050g with 24 degree of freedoms. The supply energy comes from a lithium polymer battery. This small humanoid has a black friendly appearance but has a sophisticated movement. With carbon and plastic frame in making the body this humanoid robot has a lightweight but strong body frame. What makes this robot popular in 2004 was the SHIN-Walk, new technology that allow robot to walk more naturally just li…
MAC is the latest futuristic robot announced by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). AFP launches its MAC (Mechanical Anti-terrorist Concept) with PhP 1.7 million. It is a Philippine anti terrorist robot concept. The developer of this Philippine anti terrorist robot, Mapua Institute of Technology is still working on cheaper MAC with additional features. The head of the team, John Judilla stated that they would make the brand new version MAC wh…
Another robot perhaps still controlled by mouse on computer and keyboard on computer. Let say they still using the conventional technology in controlling the robot. fuRo has developed the new invention to make human closer to robotic. WIND stands for Wireless Intelligent Networked Device by fuRo will create a new device in controlling robot. This wireless control system works by using the Sip (System in Package). This way fuRo put in a compute…
y for Optimizing Motion. This robot was developed under the FutureBots, robotics component suppliers, support. To optimize its motions, humanoid robot ATOM-7xp given 49 degrees of freedom which made of aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber which made by Mathias in FutureBots, completely handmade and built in USA. Humanoid robot ATOM-7xp runs the world’s most advanced operating systems and imitates human motion in walking. ATOM stands in 5 feet and…
…ead washing machine. Zhenpeng Li imagined that 90 year later people should be closer to nature. From that view he designed a natural washing machine with grass or flower scents. This washing machine uses negative ions to wash nano-coated fabric. As Zhenpeng Li thought that 90 years ahead nano-coated fabric will be the main materials for people clothes. User could be use this washing machine in three modes: clean clothes, grass scent, or flower s…

After succeed with the Monsieur in 1994 Epson unveiled their 0.5cm Nino and Ricordo and Lubie in 1995. This robot series has the same similarity with the previous robot Monsieur; they all got light sensors to pursuit the light. But this series has been equipped with ‘personality mode’ that makes it different with Monsieur. Each of robots in this series was priced about $400 and $600. Different from the Monsieur these robot contain 102 parts inside their bodies.
This robot called as T-34. Its designed as security purpose. The T-3 4 controlled with a mobile phone, which receives video footage in real time, broadcast from the robot’s camera, therefore the operator sees everything the robot sees.

From its name…. don’t you even think that this is robots that suck blood from your veins like Dracula or vampire. The Bloodbot is a robot designed to take blood sample from your ACF (Ante-Cubital Fossa) which can be translated in English as an area in the fold of the arm where in this spot your veins are close enough to the surface of your skin. This is the place where blood sample always taken commonly. Every man has different pattern of veins, well this robot is designed to identify this location.
We have seen the robotics history before from water clock in 250 B.C. until the 1937/1938 Elektro the mechanical man by Westinghouse. This article will try to mention the robots and years after 1938. There are six major inventions that lies between 1942 to 1959. The first one was in 1942. In this year Willard Pollard and Harold Roselund designed the first programmable paint spraying mechanism for US De Vilbiss Company. 1946 was the year where George Devol patented his general purpose playback device for machine controlling using magnetic recording. 1948 – 1949 was the year of Grey Walter when he built his first robot Elmer and Elsie that stands for Electro Mechanical Robots and Light Sensitive. These robots also well known as turtle and tortoise robot as they move slowly in respond to light.
After a long way of processes and experiences on 31st October 2010 Asimo will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Before decade ago 14 years Honda has developed prototypes of two-legged walking robot. And in decade ago Honda created Asimo a revolutionary humanoid robot. Preparing the celebration Honda has created an Anniversary websites and films. This websites contains new pictures, videos, and the story of Asimo processes
