Japan’s largest producer of chocolate company TIROL-CHOCO conducted the fourth annual competition of robots. The competitions were held in the office in Tokyo on the eve of Valentine’s Day, which seems quite remarkable, since chocolate is in Japan one of the most popular gifts on the day lyublennyh.

Can I use robots to encourage physical training in elderly people? This question is Matures Maya (Mama Metric), head of Southern California University Center for Robotics (University of Southern California Center for Robotics and Embedded Systems). Continue reading
Championship among robots – a sort of annual review of the achievements of artificial intelligence. Some cars will be playing soccer, others – to depict rescuers in the earthquake. Continue reading
Engineer Sushi Hero (Tsuyoshi Hero) from the University of Tokyo has developed a system that uses multiple cameras to track the movements of the host and converts them into commands for the robot. Continue reading
IBM has to teach a grant to develop a computer that has intelligence. Rationale – the alleged growing flow of information, which is already positively nowhere to add, except electronic brains. All incoming information quickly people can not handle (and whether we should, we ask), and the computer can only do so within the specified filters. Continue reading
The largest in the world of Robots Contest – under this definition lists the international competition of robots RoboGames in Guinness World Records. Regular competitions were opened today (23.04.2010) in San Francisco (USA). They are attended by hundreds of robots from dozens of countries. Continue reading
The RT-12 rotary positioning table is designed using ourunique, cost- effective philosophy. The RT-12 can be used to position a varietyof payloads such as cameras, lasers or test fixtures. The 12″ diameter aluminumtop plate has 24 tapped holes to attach your application.
An endless variety of configurations can be created by attaching a linearpositioning table such as our Z-2 or X-9 to the RT-12. The RT-12 can be driven with the MD-2a motion control system and can also be used with a PR23-3 pulley reducer for greater performance.

* Automate Repetitive Tasks
* Dispensing
* Pick and Place
* Automated Testing
* Easy to Program
* Very cost effective
Now’s the time to automate those tasks currently being performed manually. By
combining our MD-2 Step Motor Systems with our XY positioning table and a gantry
stand, a complete robotic workcell can be created. Our Z-2 Positioning Table is
added to create a third axis of motion.
In many cases, an XYZ robotic workcell can replace a very elaborate robotic
system at a fraction of the cost. Just connect to your personal computer, attach
a tool, and your system is complete.
Robotic workcell packages come complete with motor control systems, positioning
tables, hardware and an accessory kit which includes cables, cable mounting
hardware, and a tools.
You will:
Supply a personal computer.
Mount the components together (instructions provided).
Route cables from motors to MD-2 drivers (hardware included).
Attach your tool (may require custom made hardware).
Load the MD-2 software.
Set motor parameters.
Program the desired motion.
Increase Performance with a PR23 Pulley Reducer
Add two PR23-2.5 pulley reducers for the X and Y axis of your robotic workcell
to achieve faster speeds, more torque, and a resolution of .002" per step.

Robonova 1 is a new concept of robot that allows you to mount and control a humanoid robot as only he could do so far in advanced centers and research laboratories. Using the software included in the kit even beginners can easily fill the robot life. If you do not know anything about robots, you can start with this model and start making things more complex, as you gain expertise and practical. Continue reading
