A company that specializes in software (or software application is a set of programs, which allows a computer or a computer system …) for the general public robotics is to provide an operating system (OS) universal for robots. Currently the OS developed by the company Gostai, “Urbi” make compatible more than 16 robots on the market. It is anticipated that its architecture (architecture, a term derived from the Latin architectura, derived from the Greek word …) applications remotely GostaiNet now available in the field of telepresence, evolving into entertainment and family applications in the course of 2009.
Services compatible with all robotic robots
Gostai, startup that specializes in software for robotics general public, presented on 14 January its new technology (The word has two meanings technology partner:) GostaiNet. With GostaiNet, the company now plans to offer subscription access to remote applications running on any robot market. A mobile platform equipped with a simple camera (The term camera comes from the Latin: bedroom, room for photography. It means a camera …), a microphone / speaker and a wireless connection sufficient.
These applications can run remotely on powerful servers robotic behaviors involving advanced capabilities of vision, speech (The speech is embodied language. That is the act of a subject. If the language refers to the concept of code ,…) and artificial intelligence, and on any compatible robot, regardless of its capacity and its embedded processor, in particular robots low cost. The intelligence of the robot is no longer in the robot, but executed remotely. Continue reading
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), a team of Hatsopoulos microfluids Laboratory, one led by Anette (known as Peko) Hosoi has taken on the task. Amos Winter, one of the researchers involved, presented the solution to the last congress of the American Physical Society: just imitate the knife. This mollusk bivalve (such as oysters and mussels) lives in the sand and can dip into it at a surprising speed to stay firmly plugged. There are several species, all characterized by a tapered shape, resembling a knife. The MIT researchers were interested in Ensis directus called American knife in France since it shows a marked tendency to invade our shores, to the detriment of local species.
The scope of connecting neurons living on electrodes has started in 1972, when scientists began to “grow” heart cells in vitro so as to save electric lessignaux. And that since 1979, the U.S. scientists began developing the technology to stimulate and record the signals emitted by neurons cultured in vitro, leading Today the multi electrode array (multi-electrode arrays, or MEA) which, according to Steve Potter, is the key to a better understanding of our brain. “With this kind of device, very simplified version of what happens in the human brain,” you can manipulate neurons much more easily than you can do so on an animal, for example by cutting some connections and see the effects General on signaling … ” 
Robotics successful start-ups hexagonal. After Violet, the Navasota which attacks the U.S. market, or Wavestorm, whose software powers the promising Skypee by Meccano, it is the turn of Aldebaran Robotics announced a fundraising of 5 million euros with CDC Innovation and I-Source Gestion for the development of its robot Nao. “The support of renowned investors such as CDC Innovation and I-Source Gestion is a great validation of our technology choices and business model of our company. The company has taken major steps since its inception in 2005, and this funding will enable us to strengthen our teams of professionals, to deliver our Nao robots to Robocop teams, and to prepare its public launch the next year. “commented Bruno Maisonnier, CEO of Aldebaran Robotics. A both intelligent and communicating, Nao robot is 60 cm high, fully programmable through its onboard computer and for various applications in areas such as education, entertainment, home support or security. 
If The Robocop competition has long been mocked as mere gimmick. But researchers from other fields see the chickened machines now the high art of robotics. By the year 2050 will be acting autonomously humanoid robot can play better football than people. Specifically: A robot team, according to official FIFA rules against the then reigning world champion and when. That is the stated objective of the international Robocop initiative, the Chinese Sushi near Shanghai just their twelfth annual World Cup tournament has finished. The project solves either spontaneous enthusiasm, surprise or anxiety. In particular, experts respond but is still happy with herablassendem Naserumpfen. 
The University of Bielefeld in the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, opens tomorrow Institute cognition and robotics (CoR-Lab). The institute will carry out its research activities in the field of cognition and intelligent robots “, a scientific field in which groups of interdisciplinary research at the University of Bielefeld are distinguished, nationally as internationally. This year, the university will particularly benefit from its good relations with the Honda group.
The latest generation of Honda’s robot ASIMO humanoid gave Barcelona its European debut. Honda hopes that he could one day be so advanced that it is a real human assistance. The new ASIMO embodies several significant technological improvements over its predecessors, including a new, schnittigeres design, yet more fluid and quick movements and the ability of almost 6 km / h to run. The agile ASIMO has many other new capabilities in terms of its mobility and intelligence. 
The car manufacturer Toyota will focus increasingly on the development of robots as partners of the people. “Back to the benefit of the public and the people I would like the robot and robot accelerate development time for practical application,” announced Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe on Thursday ( 5.12.) During the presentation of two new Human robot models. The single “Mobiro”, an abbreviation of mobility robot that can bring people driven by a battery with a speed of six km / h over distances of up to 20 kilometers transported. Here he is in a position to independently avoid obstacles and can also be sent by remote control.
