The robot developed at the University of famous MIT in Boston (United States) was the star of the eleventh show of the Virtual Reality in Laval, in late April. Read more »
Recently, Professor Jun-Ho Oh was crowned “Man of the Year 2004″ from the Institute for Advanced Science and Technology of Korea (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, KAIST) for his work on robotic humanoid . It meets today in a lengthy interview published on OhmyNews, which explains the characteristics and challenges of humanoid robot Hubo. Read more »
The artificial creatures have always populated our imaginary robot, robots, avatars … These terms include what we call in this case “artificial creatures”. The man did not merely imagine, because for nearly two thousand years, it attempts to breathe life into the robot through the robot. Read more »
There are different kinds of robots, including humanoids which are for instance those who left us watching the movie “Robocop” or to deliver a more everyday example, the robot Asimo from Honda. As can be seen in the first graph of this article, the Asimo was changing as the technology of artificial intelligence was giving way to the opportunity to improve the conditions under which these machines could perform both basic functions like walking, lifting hands, moving his head, etc., up to complete much more complex operations such as jumping, walking, and say a few words.
The robot Asimo from Honda, which stands for A dvanced S tep in I nnovate Mo bility, has among its main features being built entirely in a way that can bend and do all the typical movements of human beings, through their embedding within overall system of a computer-brain which is controlled by remote control. This device also controls the charging party robot, so you can have more time for action without a massive waste of energy used for mobilization of the humanoid, thereby allowing an action which is much more controlled.
Asimo from Honda can walk at a speed of 3 km / h run twice, almost imitating the movements of a child who is just starting to take its first steps. The integrated system coordination Asimo similarly lets do simple tasks with their mechanical arms such as carrying trays to use small items like keys and even bend some things to organize them. To make a little reference to mobility, Asimo is also able to rotate, completing laps around its axis which is located in the ring.
A battery pack is charged to provide fuel for this likeable character, he’s an increasing feeling that occurs in public. The advantages that can provide the robot Asimo in the future are quite striking, for example, widespread service customer service in all types of organizations as being observed, the possibility of being used in rescue maneuvers, no doubt a valuable toy teaching in many kindergartens, as “virtual teacher” for new models of education and why not, the study of motion in bodies.
A robotic hand could revolutionize manufacturing and medicine. It developed from software using artificial intelligence will be able to learn the movements of a human hand and then reproduce. And to perform actions requiring dexterity beyond the reach of current robots. To achieve this, scientists have developed a glove connected to sensors that record the movements of a human hand. Movements filmed by eight cameras, high-resolution CCD infra-red illumination and can measure the precision of a gesture to the millimeter. Read more »
The Japanese carmaker Honda has unveiled the latest version of the biped robot, Asimo. This has improved its performance movement: it runs faster, and he knows now serving coffee to visitors! From spring 2006, Honda is using Asimo as assistant reception or transmission properties at the headquarters of Honda and CEO, Mr Takeo Fukui dream qu’Asimo enters the home by 10 years, with an artificial intelligence more developed.

Aberystwyth, Wales – A robot named Adam who can develop theories and test them almost without help from humans, became the first machine to a new scientific discovery. His experiences have provided additional expert knowledge about the genetic mechanisms of yeast. In the magazine Science, Professor Ross King and his colleagues the laboratory of the University of Aberystwyth in Country of Wales Read more »
Isaac Asimov has a strong scientific spirit and part of that generation novelist standing at the forefront of technology and its times. The content of these novels is affected: the magnificent stories in which reflections on humanity and artificial intelligence, detailed descriptions and imagination structured, complex puzzles that we tape up the end of each book … Read more »
To advance artificial intelligence, robots are simply asking for help to humans. That is the idea advanced by Willow Garage, a company specializing in robotics based in Palo Alto, California. According to the company, asking for help is the second nature of human beings and this behavior could help solve one of the thorniest problems in artificial intelligence. Read more »
Fuzzy logic has been used now for many years in the control algorithms of robots. Fuzzy logic includes not only expert systems, reviewed and visited, but also the direct use of fuzzy logic in programs simply by adding rules and fuzzy variables in the main program. We tend to the latter type of use in multi-robot architectures. Read more »
