So your little (e) has all the toys he dreams? In case you think that there’s nothing to buy, here’s the robot Ringbone on which your child can climb. This mount positronique can be ordered through the joysticks that act as ears. This device will certainly your child, your greatest joy. The battery life is not known.

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 capsule medical robotics
The nano robotics laboratory at the University of Carnegie Mellon has developed a new type of robot that can be swallowed and controlled outside the body. The capsule has a small robotic arm adhesives that can be set on internal walls slippery and then come off without damaging the tissue. Using a remote control, doctors can tell the robot when out or retract his “legs” in order to fix or detach. Once ingested the capsule as any conventional pill, it can be used to take pictures of areas necessary, or make mini-films through a mini-camera, but it could also have other features, such as dissemination of a drug, tissue, or cauterization wound with a mini-laser, or other applications ..

“E-skin”, a skin for robots
The Japanese researchers (Tsuyoshi Sekitani, Takao Someya and team) at the University of Tokyo have developed “E-Skin,” a skin robotics enabling robots have the sensation of touch. The sheet of rubber is made up of nanotubes to the conduction of electricity, even when it is fully stretched. The rubber is completely malleable and can even be applied to curved surfaces without losing its property conductivity. The skin robotics “E-Skin” could be used to make circuits that can be stretched up to 1.7 times their original size. Continue reading
Robot Lovers on the issue of Tracks Arte
A few days ago, Friday, February 22, 2008 exactly, the chain ARTE television broadcast in its issue TRACKS, a report on the following topic:
“Robot Lovers:
Cars without drivers, surveillance drones, sexual partners androids…: at a time when the South Korean government is working on drafting a charter of ethics of robotics, scientific and industrial robots invent the company tomorrow. “Rediscover therefore Nao and his friends in this news story very interesting…
Background of “Robot Lovers” on the issue of Tracks channel Arte:
Cars without drivers, surveillance drones or sexual partners androids: robots invade us. Continue reading
Honda Asimo at the University of Bielefeld
With the success at the University of Excellence initiative is the cluster “Cognitive Interaction Technology” with an annual 6.5 million euros. In addition, the company decided the Honda humanoid Asimo robot two University for research on disposal. And these are really impressive technological Eisenstein. Before some time had ever been with us the luck in the world of robots and virtual reality with us at the University of Bielefeld station: the robot dog Aibo from Sony and opened the door to the virtual world technologies are called the CAVE you do not expect at a university, the inside looks at the shabby Unihalle as the abgewetzten jackets sociology students. Honda builds the case for the digital brain which is virtually the robot in “Cognitive Interaction Technology” cluster gets missed. Continue reading
Japanese researchers develop a new generation of robots
Japanese researchers develop a new generation of robots. The machines emulate the natural behavior of humans and animals to and show feelings.
Curious Tama turns her head in the direction of the approaching steps. When she sees Toshihiro Tashima, gets her entire body in joyful movement. Lovingly takes Tashima in the arm. It does not bother him that Tamas nose pointed to the side and legs are a little plump. However, it is his own creation: Tamas black and grey tiger skin is a mini robots, program filled with chips and dotted with sensors.
On programmed feeling: “There should lebensahnlich effect and cause feelings,” said the researchers of the Omron Corporation in Kyoto its digital Schmusetier. Depending on the situation, the plush robot anger, fear or surprise. He miaut if he wants to arm, gentle stroking calls a content Schnurren. About his long-term memory Robot recognizes the animal and its owner situations. Tashima proudly led a month ago his cat machines to the public. Tama is the latest model of a new generation of robots, which not only caused a sensation in Japan. Continue reading
