Robot Walker Flame
The researcher Daan Hobbelen of TU Delft has created a new robot that works very advanced named Flame. The robot is not designed for commercial purposes, mias research, thus giving a fresh look at how people walk. This will help people who have trouble walking, improved diagnostics, rehabilitation, as well as equipment. Flame is smart enough to put his feet to avoid a potential fall, and it would be the walking robot, the most advanced in the world – but can he climb the stairs? I do not know if the robot Flame may be better than Honda’s Asimo, but he looks very cool.
ApriPoko the robot universal remote Toshiba
Researchers at the company Toshiba have developed a robot speaking, can be used as a universal remote voice, to control various appliances. This little robot weighing 2.3 kilograms and measuring 21 x 27 cm, is therefore ApriPoko, and learns to order various equipment you watching (because it is equipped with a camera to identify users) and you questioning. Since the location you are positioned, the robot ApriPoko you notes and expects that you use a remote control. When the sensors detect infrared radiation emitted by the remote control, the robot speaks and ask: “What are you doing?”. When you have answered him, saying what you did ( “I turned on the radio” or “I changed for the next TV channel 58” for example), the robot ApriPoko record in his memory this operation.

A robot childcare in stores
The group of large retailers Aeon and the Japanese company Tmsuk, Japanese robotics firm, today presented a companion robot designed to monitor, entertain and amuse children in a shopping mall while their parents do their shopping. The mobile robot measuring 1m40 is equipped with a camera as a right eye and a projector in the left eye to disseminate promotional images on walls in the mall. The views collected by the robot through its eye camera are also displayed on screens located in the shopping mall. To interact with the robot, children must obtain before a membership card of the “Club” of the mall where he officiates in the city of Fukuoka. Continue reading

A robot that operates with a brain composed of neurons in rat
A robot operating with a small brain composed of living rat neurons able to ‘learn’ behavior as avoiding a wall, was developed at the University of Reading (England) by followers of Frankenstein.
“We have already given him a certain learning by repetition, since it reproduces certain actions”, told AFP the head of the multidisciplinary team, Kevin Warwick. “But now we want him to learn behavior,” he said.
The brain’s biological robot, named Gordon, was created from neurons taken from a rat. They were placed in a solution, separated and then placed on a bed of sixty electrodes. Continue reading
Toyota robot can play violin
In the science-fiction films Terminator 1-3 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and I, Robot with Will Smith was shown the audience, which allows us to develop humanoid robots can bring. In the Terminator films independent of the machines and try to destroy mankind. In the movie I, Robot, however, the robots are helping the human beings. Everywhere you can find them there, in the household, on the street, in the train, etc. Similar probably had visions of the Japanese car company Toyota, as it is consistent with the development of humanoid robots began. In a presentation in Tokyo showed the company is now a 1.52-metre human-robot, based on a real violin a piece of “Pomp and Circumstance” played. Here he moved his body in a wheelchair Rhythmus. Also on two wheels presented the company. Continue reading

Robot assistants will be everyday
The Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics (CoR-Lab) at the University of Bielefeld opened. In addition, a research cooperation between the University of Bielefeld and the Honda Research Institute Europe Ltd. (HRI-EU). Both took place at a symposium and 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. The Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics at the University of Bielefeld, university and basic industrial research. The aim of the interdisciplinary groups of researchers at the CoR-Lab is to make robots with cognitive and social skills and to enable them to everyday assistant for the people. The Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North Rhine-Westphalia has the structure of the institution with 1.1 million euros and it will continue to support. Continue reading
Human robot celebrates German premiere
Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics at the University of Bielefeld opened
intelligent robots are in highly developed industrial nations play an increasingly important role – especially with a view to humans tailored assistance functions can be realized. In developing the robot is therefore especially the social skills and communication with the people in the foreground. Given these enormous challenges, the University of Bielefeld, supported by the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology, the Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics (CoR-Lab) “as a central scientific institution. The goal is to establish in the region Ostwestfalen-lip a research center in an important field of high technology to establish, to help achieve medium-sized economy and the University of Bielefeld with its research priority “intelligent systems”.
