Nature is a source of inspiration for artists, but also for engineers. New example robotics with a project developed by the Norwegian company SINTEF. Once finalized, the equipment will spend most of his time in the pipeline industry.
That is the goal of this research project: to offer the market an inspection tool that can easily evolve into conduits closest – up to 20 cm in diameter – to the horizontal, the vertical . Hence the idea of snake known for its flexibility and so particular to move.
Several experts reflecting on the project at SINTEF. Specialists in cybernetics work on mobility and compactness of the robot to move unhindered in the pipeline. Continue reading

Humanoid robots more intelligent
In 2005, Honda launched its latest humanoid called Asimo. Since then, the Japanese manufacturer focuses on improving the intelligence of these robots. And it works.
The faculties of communication and autonomy of Asimo have increased. They are able to decide on the choice of their tasks and know when they must recharge their batteries. In communication with other Asimo present in the vicinity, the robots will divide the tasks, are experiencing levels of batteries each and share information on their future work. Continue reading
Latest humanoid robots in Bielefeld
will be inaugurated at the University of Bielefeld, the Institute of cognition and robotics (Cor-Lab). Thus, strengthens an already well-established cooperation between the university and the Honda group. It will provide researchers at the institute for the first time in Europe, two of its new humanoid robots “ASIMO” and will support financially positions of doctoral students in the framework of joint projects. The ASIMO is considered the humanoid robot biped most modern in the world.
The institute will carry out its research activities in the area of cognition and intelligent robots “, a scientific field in which groups of interdisciplinary research at the University of Bielefeld are distinguished, nationally as internationally. Continue reading
One of the robots bipedes the most advanced in the world
For the development of movements of ASIMO, Honda has studied
and used as a model coordinated movements
and complex human body. The proportions and position of the joints of ASIMO resemble those of a human being and, in many respects, the robot has a range of movement comparable to ours.
Using a new advanced mobility system developed
Honda, ASIMO can not only move forward, backward,
but also to move sideways, up or down stairs and turn in walking.
In this regard, ASIMO is the robot that imitates the movements better
Walking natural human beings. Continue reading
The new Honda robot recognizes humans
Also moving on two legs, the robot Asimo from Honda is now able to take into account the people who surround it. It recognizes their faces and signs that it font.Honda Motor Co., a division of automobile giant Nippon, unveiled Wednesday, December 11 in Tokyo, a new version of Asimo, the humanoid robot the size of a child ( 1 m 20 to 43 kg).
As the first model launched in November 2000, this robot is able to move on a flat terrain, up and down stairs, while avoiding obstacles stationary or moving. The great novelty is qu’Asimo interacts now, not only with its physical environment, but also with people moving around him. Continue reading
The robots exhibition
In 2000, based on experience with P3, Honda presented Asimo (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), a robot exhibition represents the culmination of 14 years of research. It was designed under the direction of the engineer Masato Hirose. This small autonomous android measure 1.20 meters and weighs 53 kg. It moves at 1.6 km / h but it is capable of running a moderate pace (12 kph), skipping, dancer and ascend or descend stairs. Admittedly, sometimes it even rate a march through the public representation, but we do so, the difference qu’Asimo can not even stand up alone.
But although it is a robot, and see the warning, showing signs of intelligence and then dropped onto a trap and be unable to recover any revealed the impotence of men to inject life and reflexes fundamentals. At the same time fascinating and pathetic, he fell on the stairs revealed how much was still a long way towards creating a completely autonomous android. Continue reading
The Locations – Berlin
 |
Our branch in Berlin thrives on the opportunities that a developing and creative city has to offer. So the graphic work and 3D-visualisations are done in Berlin. |
The Locations – Marburg
 |
Marburg is the city with the highest per capita rate of software developers in Germany, and it has a renowned university rich in tradition. These are no doubt ideal conditions for a company that seeks to create a unique blend of scientific research, traditional experience and innovative ideas. |
The People
iAS is located in two German cities: in Marburg, a historic university town, and Berlin, Germany´s creative capital city and Europe`s largest building site.
