Moon Walker II has combined the technology of two sensors. It begins to walk when it detects a change in light intensity or sound commands. Moon Walker II continues it’s four legged voyage until instructed by an internal timer to stop. This kit presents an engaging opportunity to learn about some of the mechanics, operation and history of robots. Continue reading

And on Earth and in space robot is ready to help people Robonaut2
Within three years, U.S. Agency for Space Research, NASA and General Motors’ razrabyvali robot astronaut Robonaut new generation. February 3, 2010 he was presented to the public. Robonaut2 (R2) of unparalleled power for humanoid robots – with both hands he is able to lift and carry handling objects weighing up to 9 kg (20 pounds), even in her outstretched hands. Continue reading
PR 2 can take in rent-free
We already wrote about robots PR 2, which creates an American company Willow Garage. These robots are on a mobile platform size of a human are designed to perform the simplest actions in various everyday situations. Groups of scientists from various universities in the U.S. are working to create software for robots. Continue reading
Robots → ATOM-based Windows XP
In recent days, in 2009, Dan Mathias, president of the company Futurebots, which is one of the main suppliers of parts for American robotic companies, presented to the public of its robot ATOM-7XP. Continue reading
Robots → go to a restaurant
The Japanese company Eager Co decided to check how well you can use the “communication” robots for promotional purposes. Within three days, January 9-11, 2010 in 18 restaurants in Osaka (Japan) robot ENON, specially developed by Fujitsu, will communicate with visitors. Among other things, researchers want to find out how important marketing robots use gestures to communicate with people – in order to attract attention. Continue reading
Korean teacher of English – robot VANI
Asian robots rush hard in school – especially for younger students and middle managers. Recently, we wrote about a Japanese robot NIT, specializing in teaching physics and mathematics. Now represents the robot VANI (Variety, Ability and Intimacy), established by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST – Korea Institute of Science & Technology) in partnership with CTS (Creative Technical Services). Continue reading
Arabic robot is ready to compete with Japanese counterparts
Undoubtedly, the primacy in the world of robots keep Japan, South Korea and China. Nevertheless, the robot Reem-B, manufactured in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) may well compete with their Asian “brothers”. Company Pal technology together with the enterprise Icarus Technology are preparing to submit robot Reem-B for mass use in 2011. Continue reading
Robot already have than to digest and there than to chew
Originally, the custom, that a robot – it is an imitation of man. What really
surprised when scientists using robotic devices are trying to imitate human
organs. This is not about prostheses, namely the simulation of human organs for
medical research. Recent advances in this field – robotic jaw and … stomach
Preoccupied by the creation of a robot-gastric scientists of the Institute of
Food Research in Norwich. On the creation of a dynamic robot models of human
gastric they took about 10 years. The artificial stomach to help researchers
study the process of human digestion. In robotic stomach will be tested and new
drugs.
Earlier in the summer of last year the public was provided with the development
of scientists from
University of Bristol. They managed to create a robotic model of human
masticatory apparatus. At the heart device is a three-dimensional model of the
oral cavity, equipped with mechanisms to six linear drives and imitators teeth.
The device accurately reproduces the human jaw movement and because of their
compression.
With these robotic jaws planned to experiment with new materials for the
dentist. Dentists calculated using robotic models of the jaws to stimulate
research in their field and, ultimately, make treatment of dental diseases more
effectively.
So that progress in gradual robotic human organs can not be doubted. Robota has
got something to eat and even what there is to digest …
