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. Continue reading

Robots show emotions
Japanese researchers are in the development of a copy of intelligent people have far. The market for service robots is growing schwungvoll. It is almost like right in the dentist’s office. If the drill on the nerve, the patient groans. Only this is not flesh and blood. However, the 1.60 meter tall robot the appearance of an average woman copied Japan, including a long, black hair. He can even to frown or roll their eyes when a schmerzempfindliche taken. “The facial expression is extremely realistic,” enthuses Tatsuo Matsuzaki Kokoro by the manufacturer. “Students can be the suffering of the patient comprehension.” Japan, this year the partner country at the Hanover Fair, is a trendsetter in the development of new generations of robots. With 370,000 copies, 40 percent of all the world used machines installed in Japanese factories. At 10,000 workers, 349 machines colleagues. And this is just the beginning. To the dwindling number of workers as a result of the rapid ageing of society to replace the planned Ministry of Trade and Industry (Meti) until 2025 the use of one million industrial robots.

Computer-TV trend autonomous humanoid robot
Humanoid robots like the autonomous ASIMO have considerable skills. ASIMO can even race.
Humanoid Robot nowadays on television
With a foreword by Thomas Christaller A standard works – the first time in German translation! Humanoid roboter, nowadays on television or at exhibitions sees running around, as if they were people and impress us with various art pieces. There are certainly many people who are interested in how these movements can be realized. The aim of this book is to answer these questions. The proposed theories and techniques are used to Humanoid roboter HRP-2 to move. In principle, the same basic techniques with the famous HONDA of ASIMO or Sony’s QRIO by. By leaves of the book you will find that the content is by no means easy. Continue reading
The latest humanoid robot
Invitation to the opening ceremony of the Institute of Cognitive and robotics “, the presentation of the new generation ASIMO, and to subsequent press conference
On Wednesday, 10 October 2007, the Research Institute for Cognitive and robotics (Cor-Lab) at the University of Bielefeld. In addition, a research cooperation between the University of Bielefeld and the Honda Research Institute Europe Ltd. (HRI-EU) signed and the latest generation of robot ASIMO first time in Germany. The event will take place 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. Honda has its long-term cooperation with scientists from the University of Bielefeld decisively expanded and provides the Cor-Lab as the only academic institution in Europe two robot ASIMO for research purposes. The Honda ASIMO is the latest zweibeinige humanoid robot in the world. In addition, the Japanese finance group at the CoR-Lab PhD positions in the framework of joint projects. Continue reading

ASIMO’s Fancy Footwork
Carnegie Mellon researchers have taught ASIMO to walk through ‘frogger’-like moving obstacles and among spinning blades of doom ala Indiana Jones.
Sony draws a line under Aibo robotic
Sony has announced the cessation 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, keep a blog! Launched in 1999, the Aibo adventure stops, lack of profitability, such as Qrio, the humanoid robot from Sony, which has never been marketed. Despite some 150 000 copies sold (unit price: about 2000 dollars), the pack of robots Aibo is not consistent enough to justify the cost it involves developments, especially on the segment of the general public robotics The competition – including American – prepares its weapons.

ASIMO is a humanoid robot developed by Honda
ASIMO is a humanoid robot developed by Honda. Asimo is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility” pronounced “ashimo” (legs too “) in Japanese. His name accidentally recalls that of writer Isaac Asimov, author of numerous books on science-fiction on the theme of robotics and creator of the three laws of robotics. The design of the robot is facing a utilitarian purpose, unlike Sony robots whose goal is to create robots company (Aibo, Qrio). Asimo is a robot research, it is not marketed. Nevertheless, it has already been paid for some public events. It was also praised by large companies like IBM, in order to complete the task of hosting home. Continue reading
The first humanoid robot located outside Japan
The humanoid robot HRP-2 arrived in France in Toulouse, where he will be formally presented on June 30 next. This technology platform is the heart of the research laboratory Franco-Japanese, the Joint Robotics Laboratory (CNRS, AIST), located on the site of the Laboratory for analysis and systems architecture (LAAS / CNRS, Toulouse). It offers a tremendous potential for research in robotics.
A humanoid robot is a mechanical system equipped with anthropomorphic arm for the manipulation of objects, legs for locomotion on various forms of surfaces, and a head equipped with cameras to the perception of the environment. It is characterized by its physical complexity inspired by the human body.
Born in Japan in 2003, HRP-2 weighs 58 kg and measuring 1.54 m. It owes its name to the project “Humanoid Robotics Project, a major research program in robotics led to the initiative of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Continue reading
