The small humanoid robot takes shape

A few months ago, I presented Nao the little robot at Aldebaran Robotics at the time it was forbidden to distribute photos or videos of the prototype but today things have changed. Now Nao is the day star, it is everywhere! It was thus seen make his first major public out at the last Fanny’s Party and the chain TV shows (see video later). Nao is a true technological marvel that has many device allowing him to interragir with its environment. It loads gcc a facial recognition system but also object. His speech recognition system is eglament impressive. For example, you can give the order “Read me my emails” and the robot through his speech synthesizer makes reading a few moments later. The most critical find that Nao is pale figure facing Qrio Sony or Honda’s Asimo, but we must keep in mind that this is not at all the same range. The robots from Sony and Honda are prototypes expirimentaux the coup astronomical (40 000 euro minimum the robot) while Nao is intended for the general public. Continue reading

Humanoid robots more intelligent

Des robots humanoïdes encore plus intelligents In 2005, Honda launched its latest humanoid called Asimo. Since then, the Japanese manufacturer focuses on improving the intelligence of these robots. And it works.
The faculties of communication and autonomy of Asimo have increased. They are able to decide on the choice of their tasks and know when they must recharge their batteries. In communication with other Asimo present in the vicinity, the robots will divide the tasks, are experiencing levels of batteries each and share information on their future work. Continue reading

Latest humanoid robots in Bielefeld

will be inaugurated at the University of Bielefeld, the Institute of cognition and robotics (Cor-Lab). Thus, strengthens an already well-established cooperation between the university and the Honda group. It will provide researchers at the institute for the first time in Europe, two of its new humanoid robots “ASIMO” and will support financially positions of doctoral students in the framework of joint projects. The ASIMO is considered the humanoid robot biped most modern in the world.
The institute will carry out its research activities in the area of cognition and intelligent robots “, a scientific field in which groups of interdisciplinary research at the University of Bielefeld are distinguished, nationally as internationally. Continue reading

One of the robots bipedes the most advanced in the world

For the development of movements of ASIMO, Honda has studied
and used as a model coordinated movements
and complex human body. The proportions and position of the joints of ASIMO resemble those of a human being and, in many respects, the robot has a range of movement comparable to ours.
Using a new advanced mobility system developed
Honda, ASIMO can not only move forward, backward,
but also to move sideways, up or down stairs and turn in walking.
In this regard, ASIMO is the robot that imitates the movements better
Walking natural human beings. Continue reading
