A European project for robot friendly
The interaction between people and robots is at the heart of much research in the world. In Europe, the project meets Phriends laboratories whose goal is to create humanoid robots that can coexist safely with humans. And it’s not so easy … Continue reading
First steps of HAL, the robotic exoskeleton
As announced for several months Cyberdine, a Japanese company specializing in robotics, has started mass production of HAL, an exoskeleton powered muscle assistance. HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) has nothing to do with its namesake, featuring the famous film 2001 Space Odyssey. He really exists and, Continue reading
Tin Can Robot
This interesting kit allows a robot with a can of soda.
The robot is very simple, a motor, a pair of wheels … but very curious.
Of course for the price (about 10 euros) is a good gift for someone who likes robotics.
Once assembled, with a battery and a can of soda that are not included in the kit will move forward and spin like crazy.
Infrared Thermometer
Investigation of new sensors or any new system that a priori we may seem of little use if you can have an impact on our daily lives. Today we talk about infrared radiation and a simple application: a fever thermometer.
The company teams as PCE is one of these thermometers can be calibrated with the calibrator temperature in case we need Continue reading
The Leonardo da Vinci robot
In 1950 they found some notes from Leonardo Da Vinci on the construction of a robot very similar to what we now know by robot. The notes are dated in 1495 and since then you can see in advance what was Leonardo Da Vinci of his time.
The robot consists of a truss Germany and Italy and an internal mechanism with which it is assumed that performing human-like movements.
Robot hand with tactile sensors
The new Touch Sensor Company “Shadow Robot Company is the nearest robot to the human hand that has been created. It provides 24 movements, allowing direct mapping of a human to the robot.
Robotic Hand “Shadow Robot Company has integrated sensors that allow precise control of the orders from a deck, this thanks to 40 Air Muscles which make it move. The muscles are so docile, allowing it to make soft or fragile objects. Continue reading
Evolutionary robotics
The Evolutionary Robotics (ER) is an area of autonomous robotics, in which drivers are developed through evolution robots using genetic algorithms.
It usually evolves Neural Networks as it follows the reference biological and simplifies the design and representation in genetic algorithm.
The foundation of the RE is relationship to work at the CNR in Rome in the ’90s, but the initial idea of encoding the control system of a robot in a genome and evolutionary data of the 80 late. Continue reading
