Provide robotics news and robot collections, Automation device and equipment, also future technology
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…
Perhaps we have heard or saw some project just looks like or similar to this one. Some thing cube that display something inside it. But this is something different. The concept of this project is a six display cube with digital screens that enable us to browse online databases like Flickr.com. To control this device someone should make actions on the object. This creates a playful way for someone in discovering image collections that are networked by tags.
Nissan has been developed a new mobility device with the co-partner AIST. This new mobility device appeared to be like a two wheeled footboard with two poles as the steer. It could travel around in 5km/hour with the help of motors and drive wheels installed on this device. There is sensor equipped on these devices that are used to detect the weight shift from user and also extra sensor to detect obstacles. This robot will still be developed by AIST for further improvement as this device is determined to be future commercialization.
Kids need something different for their environment. We can’t give them same environment like what we have. Second year is the time where their brain grows and we need to feed their growing up brain with correct vitamin. Nice friendly space is something important for them, and it is important thing to arranging the correct space for them. The photos bellow could be nice reference for you in providing friendly colorful space for children. gretchen fleener design could help you in building your 2 years old kids dreamed room.
Engineering students in University of Liege in Belgium developed an autonomous robot called Albert. Albert the autonomous robot was their representing robot at robot competition that held by Eurobots in Switzerland. Albert that competed on the robot contest in the end of May 2010 designed with several abilities. This autonomous robot could avoid obstacles with the sensors equipped on it, climb slopes with its wheels, and retrieve color balls with its arm. Albert that represented Belgium in international robot contest was finish in 27th place in previous contest robot
Eoin McNally and Ian Walton created what so called as light alarm glo Pillow. This pillow looks like a regular pillow and made of regular foam but equipped with LED lights. This light alarm works by glowing in a rhythm. About 40 minutes before woken up the pillow starts glowing brighter and brighter. This gradually glowing is simulating the sunrise; this simulation of natural waking process will help the circadian rhythm of the user.
This robot is an outdoor and indoor worker robot. This robot designed to deal with environmental elements like dust, dirty, mud, sand, or gravel or puddles. Ports and surface mounting put in this robot could make the Explorer become a great research robot. Coroware said that this robot is a capable, expandable, and affordable way to meet your needs and requirement. This could be said that way because this robot has supportable programs and features.
