MAVs or Micro Aerial Vehicles are already been known far from present but its still called to be an ilusive underground. There are many idea of creature that could be used on such project like bees or flies for example. But a robotic team from NC State University tried to advance on a new creature, they tried to use bat for the revolutionary MAVs. This super elastic robot bat is a remote controlled robot creature that equipped with fantastic wings which constructed from super construction of metal alloy joints, tiny bones, cartilages, and tendons like a real bat. This super wing’s construction said to be an elastic shape that could always be able to return on its orignial position. Another material also used on this bat robot.
Research team at University of Canterbury in New Zealand is developing robot that probably could help holticulture industry. They are developing New Zealand Robot Pruning with DR Richard Green as it leader. With 3 million dollar of fund this team should be able to build an intelligent New Zealand Robot Pruning. This robot team has four years of time to develop New Zealand Robot Pruning system that based on the advanced vision real time of 3D modelling. This New Zealand Robot Pruning will be equipped with cutter to fit with the automatic feature of autonomous pruning system. With the development of this new high-tech prunning system there will be hope of increasement of productivity and reducement of losses.
It’s like a common thing that today robotics are already used to help rescue worker find victims of disaster. Like what just happened in Haiti lately after the strike of earthquake. There were teams of robots that dispatched to Haiti. For example was Global Hawk UAV that used to take images to provide imagery for rescue teams. This imagery would be something valuable for rescue teams to locate the humanitarian effort. What made it different in Haiti, rescue teams didn’t use ground-base robot that better to be used in large building collapse not in residential areas like in Haiti.
