For now, the nanochirurgien able to slip into an artery does not exist yet. But an Australian team at Monash University, headed by James Friend, had described a prototype in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengeenering. Continue reading
INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF A ROBOT MANIPULATOR FOR DIAT

However, these machines have limited use because of their insufficient motion freedom. In addition, these types of machines are not actively controlled and therefore can not accommodate complicated exercises required during rehabilitation. Now a days so many different dieting pills and tablets in market. You can’t open up a newspaper without reading about the latest diet pills including best diet pills. Continue reading
A robot bodies balancers : solve walking probelems
Daan Hobbelen engineer at the University of Delft, developed the robot Flame consists of seven devices, an organ of balance. Several algorithms allow it to find and keep balance. Flame can perform 20 to 25 no, while his predecessor, Meta, could make almost a hundred until it reaches a wall. Meta could also overcome obstacles and make no 3 cm high, while humans typically rise 5 to 6 cm. Hobbelen believes that Flame will be able to walk that way in a few months and may move more laterally.
