P3 and ASIMO - The Honda Humanoid Robots

Asimo creates only a speed of three kilometers per hour .
Japan’s third largest car manufacturer now presented an improved version of its humanoid robot. Honda According to the first truly Asimo walking robot. However, the steps are still small, so that Asimo trippelt something and do not have a speed of three kilometers per hour hinauskommt. The real challenge in the development of a walking robot, according to Honda engineers is to ensure that the 1.30 Meter and 54 kilograms heavy Humanoid also the abandonment of ground holds equal weight. Because step over the short term, both legs in the air. The electronics giant Sony had a year ago also presented a robot, for a brief moment with both feet leave the ground. The movements of the so-called Qrio resembled more of a hop, which linked to the fact that the robot after Abfedern the necessary power to go forward kick of the leg is missing. Read more »

Multiple cooperative and continuous service to provide the necessary intelligence to develop new technology. This technology allows multiple people and the environment is ASIMO, a series of multiple ASIMO can provide services to enable the coexistence of humans and the environment are a steppractical use.
ASIMO is depending on the movement of people step back and to let people, or just, including the movement of technology, intelligence, to receive instructions for carrying the tray and push trolleys to the work of intelligence and technology, To develop Moreover, ASIMO get low battery charge and the automatic also features the development.
ASIMO several of these functions, depending on the situation of working to divide the unity that is charging more to provide the service, such as ASIMO, ASIMO cooperation with each other and continuously work to achieve a comprehensive system. . Read more »

Invitation to the opening ceremony of the Institute of Cognitive and robotics “, the presentation of the new generation ASIMO, and to subsequent press conference
On Wednesday, 10 October 2007, the Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics (Cor-Lab) at the University of Bielefeld. In addition, a research cooperation between the University of Bielefeld and the Honda Research Institute Europe Ltd. (HRI-EU) signed and the latest generation of robot ASIMO first time in Germany. The event will take place in the presence of Professor Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, Minister for Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North Rhine-Westphalia, and Tomohiko Kawanabe, board member of Honda research and development. Honda has its long-term cooperation with scientists from the University of Bielefeld decisively expanded and provides the Cor-Lab as the only academic institution in Europe two robot ASIMO for research purposes. The Honda ASIMO is the latest zweibeinige humanoid robot in the world. In addition, the Japanese finance group at the CoR-Lab PhD positions in the framework of joint projects. Read more »

It seems that a team of researchers at the University of Plymouth are currently working on a robot baby to look humanoid named iCub (it looks like the robots seen in the movie I, Robot). At a height of 1m, experts in robotics will work on the iCub for the next four years, with assistance from experts of language development in order to learn the robot to think and talk. Some research also include experiments on the iCub, including the insertion of objects of different shapes in the corresponding holes located on a box, as well as stacking blocks of wood. I wonder what will happen the day when a robot will be more intelligent than us …

ApriPoco is a robot developed by Toshiba. From white and a height of 21cm, this little robot to look very nice you will relay the cupboard all your infrared remote controls so far allowed interreges you with your electronic devices! With ApriPoco, suffice it to its owner to learn gradually actions to achieve. In its learning phase you learn a word or phrase associated with an action while conducting it so that the robot can memorize. For example, you would say it “increases the volume of music” and at the same time you do this with your remote usual. Once ApriPoco the record he will not remain more than you state your phrase or keyword so that it handles the rest by contacting your electronic equipment. Read more »
