rBoJGs] Muscle is the most important in robots development. Moving object will become more attractive with elastic muscle inside. And with muscle, robots can just act like as and can do task like we did. It’s really great new materials invent. Hmm…I think (r)evolution is begin today. After made supermodel robot and worry about robot army, like or not robots will have important roles in futures, not next 100 years, but I think just a couples years…
…ervised by Dr. Gary L. Lebby, a Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This robot length is 450mm, foot length 240mm, ankle height 90mm, and toe length 70mm. This robot uses an artificial muscle and has walking speed just like a normal human speed in a domestic environment. [youtube eZUfVivcLuA]…
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…
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…
It was included as one of the 2009 Best Inventions by TIME magazine, The Jaipur Foot. While manufacturer tried to make invention that could help people to walk like normal people with artificial leg that close to real leg, they forget that some people that need this help will not have much money to pay those technology or even imagine it. But in 2009 a team of Stanford engineering students designed an artificial limb that was affordable for pe…
ABIOMED has been developed and tested this artificial heart for three decades. Named AbioCor this artificial heart is the world’s first completely self contained replacement heart. ABIOMED creates AbioCor in order to supply heart when someone has a heart failure, this way people could gain the ability, again, to enjoy life. AbioCor designed to keep up human’s circulatory system. It was said that this artificial heart used in end stage of heart…
This is the newest robotic invention from the land of robotic Japan. It seems that tsunami and earthquake cannot stop Japanese from their creativity in creating such innovation. It was shown up in the opening of Digital Content Expo which was placed at Tokyo. This artificial arms was able to make clapping sounds just like human makes such sounds with their palms of the hands. The developer called this artificial clapping hands robot as Ondz. The…
Before this, we only know that zoo only contains artificial habitat and real animals, but now as Leonel Moura did something remarkable, we can see robots swarming in the autonomous robots zoo. The Robotarium X is an art installation made by Leonel Moura in Jardim Central Zoo Alverca, Portugal, or autonomous robots zoo. Leonel Moura is an artist who has been dealing with autonomous robots since 2003. At Robotarium X, he constructed the first aut…
This document is providing information about guidance in making the arm robot for student. This project is headed for student in range of 8 to 18 years old. Using common materials like pencils, paper clips, or cardboard student will explore the design, construction, team work, material selection and use it under the supervision by their teacher that has basic understanding on electrical and electronic concept. The student will work in a team of …
As US troops fought a combat in Afghanistan there were over 100,000 soldiers joint the war. What did we know about this war was a man-to-man battle in a gun shot with the help of bunch of high-tech equipment like tank, Husky vehicle, bomber plane, etc. But there was another fact who said there is about 2,000 robots joint the war alongside the human troops in Afghanistan. Most of the robots used there were the life saving ground robots. These rob…
Vietnam robotic company TOSY unveiled their service robot in an international exhibition in Munich, Germany. This service robot named Dio. Dio stands in 1.25m tall and weights about 45kg. Dio itself is a service robot with friendly looking and can be worked as waiters or bartender in hotel. This robot is operated via wireless internet. This robot is TOSY first service robot after their famous TOPIO Ping Pong Robot.
Like what Israel did along the border to Palestine South Korea also deployed robots along their border to North Korea. It was said that the robot used along the border could detect and kill intruders along the border. These robots equipped with systems to support it tasks like surveillance, tracking, firing, and voice recognition system. It was at guard post of central section in Demilitarized Zone that separate the peninsula the robot installed. These sentry robot units worth about 400 million won and could detect heat and motion to reduce threats.
Sabanci University Robot Research Laboratory Platform or SURALP was demonstrated by the researches in Sabanci University. This was the first humanoid robot ever created in Turkey. Developed since 2002 this humanoid robot cost about 1 million dollars. This robot gave a dance performance for the debut. SURALP also demonstrated throwing a can to the trash and passing a can to engineer. This humanoid robot project had four years in planning and complete in two years later.
A very useful bomb defusing robot gift had been received by the Tajik Interior Ministry from the OSCE Office in Tajikistan. “The OSCE is a very important partner for the Ministry of the Interior and has been a consistent supporter of peace and stability in Tajikistan,” said Tajik Interior Minister, Mahmadnazar Solehov, who attended the ceremony for the official handover of the equipment that had been held in Dushanbe 15 October 2008.
Stands in 44.5cm tall and weights of 3.2kg VisiON 4G equipped with an addition camera on its shoulder (right shoulder). This secondary camera is used in order to help the robot to detect object. Moreover the engineers add an extra support on this robot’s back. This support enables the robot to stand from fall quicker. This support also help the robot in absorbing the impact of being fell. With this VisiON 4G Team Osaka had won the Humanoid League Cup once again in 2007.
Before this, we only know that zoo only contains artificial habitat and real animals, but now as Leonel Moura did something remarkable, we can see robots swarming in the autonomous robots zoo. The Robotarium X is an art installation made by Leonel Moura in Jardim Central Zoo Alverca, Portugal, or autonomous robots zoo. Leonel Moura is an artist who has been dealing with autonomous robots since 2003. At Robotarium X, he constructed the first autonomous robots zoo for artificial life with 45 different robots in corrals and cages. Most of the simple robots run off of solar power with some from electrical outlets in the floor of their cages.
