The experimental SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) Robot ressemblesan industrial robot, but is a lot smaller and less precise. The mechanics consist of one linear and three rotational axes, with the rotational axes oriented vertically,so that gravitation has no effect on these axes. The working space is 410mm indiameter and 128mm high, with an position accuracy of 0.5mm. Continue reading

Mobile Robots for Research
Trilobot mobile robot platform is used by educators and industry for a variety of tasks including research in artificial intelligence, navigation and security. Sensors include compass, tilt, light, temperature, ultrasonic ranging and bumpers. Programmed by the user’s laptop computer which communicates through the serial port using common programming languages such as C, Visual-Basic, Pascal and Prolog. High-speed radio modems are also available for communication to off-board computer systems.
The clones reproduce human behavior on the playing fields
The robots are now able to imitate the strengths and weaknesses of an individual in a game Researchers at the University Carlos III of Madrid have programmed behavioral clones. Human action of a specific player is first recorded through a video game, Robosoccer. “The system observes the stimuli that the individual receives from the screen, and the actions it sets up the keyboard in order to score a goal or passing the ball,” says Ricardo Aler, one of the researchers Continue reading
Sony draws a line under Aibo robotic and general public
Restructuring Plan requires Sony has announced the discontinuation of production of Aibo, the famous robot dog that can monitor your home when you’re not here to speak with a vocabulary of more than 1000 words and even for latest developments, to keep a blog! Launched in 1999, the Aibo adventure stops, lack of profitability, like that of QRIO, the humanoid robot from Sony, which has never been marketed. Continue reading
The hand robot learns from humans
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. Continue reading
Asimo Robot: a new version that runs faster and is the coffee!
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.

Artificial Intelligence: Adam, the first robot to make scientific discoveries by himself
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 Continue reading
Breast Augmentation
The breast size may decrease due to childbirth or significant weight loss. There are also women who have small breasts, due to a lack of tissue (hypoplasia). Many women opt for breast augmentation or breast wound because they are not happy in the volume or shape of their breasts. It is a very personal decision that leads to drastic consequences.
The breasts are composed of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, blood vessels, nerves, ducts and lymph nodes, but they contain no muscle tissue. That is why the exercises did not work back and augmentative. You cannot enhance your breasts or increase the volume of your breasts by exercise or ointments. On the other hand, hormone therapy is not recommended because of its severe side effects. Only breast augmentation ensures a beautiful and effective results.
During the first consultation, the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons shall explain the benefits and risks of breast augmentation and he listens to your motivations. Moreover, it presents the different types of breast implants, since they vary depending on the filling, shape, size and type of surface. To achieve the desired result, the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons you asked about your medical history and evaluate your physical condition. Thus, the surgeon seeks all with you the best solution to guarantee a satisfactory result.
Thanks to a well executed that meets the rigorous principles of surgery and with Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons help, you can get within a flexible, in most cases will look very natural.
