Tibi and Dabo the Urban Area Robotics
Tibi and Dabo, robots that are designed by ESDi and IRI (Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics) who funded URUS (Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Setting) Project. These two robots designed to provide a wide range of service for people in Barcelona’s public spaces. In making this robot several studies have been held. These studies held in order to find the final shape of Tibi and Dabo. The studies included study in sociologic…
Detect Water Sea Pollution Using Fish Robotics
…control and coordinate a school of robotic fish efficiently and adapt quickly to changes in the port environment. This will benefit not only monitoring operations in ports across the EU, but also lead to important advances in robotics, chemical analysis, underwater communications and robot intelligence. The technology developed through this joint project (University of Essex, 6 partners from 5 European countries and has been backed by the EU 7th…
Israeli Robotics Deployed At The Gaza Strip
Israel as one of the advanced countries for its military weapon started to deploy gun robot installation along the Gaza Strip border. It was reported that the installation started on 2007 where IDF or Israeli Defense Forces installed automated gun station along its pillboxes in Gaza. The robot system that was mounted is the Mini Samson model that developed by Israeli Rafael. This remote controlled robot gun usually mounted on the top of military…

Flashback On History Of Robotics I (250 B.C. – 1937/1938)
Here are some years, inventions, and inventors of robot in the history of robotics. Firstly in 250 B.C. Ctesibius of Alexandria built organs and water clock with some movable components. In 1495 Leonardo da Vinci designed world’s first humanoid robot perhaps. da Vinci’s figure was able to move its arms, sit up, move its head, and open and close its jaw. 1738 was a great year where Jacques de Vaucanson built his Digesting Duck. His duck was a fam…
Alice from Hanson Robotics
This robot has been shown in the Museum in Madrid, the Reina Sofia. This robot has made a goal in facial expression. Just like human being it has the expression on its face. This robot manufacturer specially produces human like robot. Alice is one of the Hanson Robotics robots. With software they have they bring smart expression robot into life. Alice face has a psychological face to communication. It can be used to such application with famil…

Flashback On History Of Robotics II ( 1942 – 1959 )
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 Ge…
CirculaFloor VR Laboratory Robotics
VR Lab University of Tsukuba created CirculaFloor. CirculaFloor is a locomotion interface using a group of movable tiles. The movable tiles employ holonomic mechanism that achieves omni-directional motion. Circulation of the tiles enables the user to walk in virtual environment while his/her position is maintained. The user can walk in arbitrary direction in virtual environment. CirculaFloor project is a joint research with ATR Media Informati…
Festo Remote Controlled Pneumatically Driven Fish Airacuda
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.

This robot is a combination project of Personal Robot Group and the Senseable Cities Group at MIT. This robot is a first step in making the new channel in human communication with automobile. This project is chasing the goal for the social interaction between driver and automobile.
Singaporean Social Robot Olivia Unveiled by Researches
Olivia is a name of a social robot from Singapore. This robot was recently unveiled by the Singaporean researches from A*STAR Social Robotics Laboratory. The Singaporean social robot Olivia is able to talk and move its sleek six-degrees-of-freedom arms. Olivia was designed as a platform robot for human-robot interaction. A*STAR Social Robotics Laboratory or ASORO, a part of Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology, and Research, as the creator plan to use this robot at the RoboCup in 2010. The Singaporean social robot Olivia planned to be used as a receptionist robot.
Another Amazing Climbing Robot, RiSE
With six feet, ¼ meter long, and 2 kilo weight RiSE can move in 0.3 m/s. this robot designed with the posture that can change to fit the surface of wall or tree that the robot climbed. RiSE has special feet that are designed to climb in different surfaces. This robot can do the job in climbing the walls, trees, or fences. Inside this robot is placed an onboard computer to control the move of the legs, sensors, and manages communications.
Rob Spences The Eyeborg
A 37 year old Canadian Named Rob Spences regain vision of his right eye in unusual way. He tried to replace his prosthetic right eye with a battery powered video camera and a transmitter. This camera will record everything he sees in a digital video. Kosta Grammatis, John Polanski, Martin Ling, Phil Bowen and camera provider OmniVision were helping Rob in finishing this distinctive idea. It was never been done before and the basic idea of all this incredible idea was to see world in different perspective!
