10-Feb-10

NASA space center diligently to create a humanoid robot astronaut. This sophisticated robot may one day, would replace human tasks when running dangerous missions in space.

Working closely with the General Motors car company, a robot called Robonaut 2 is designed to work side by side with humans. In addition to helping the human astronauts in outer space, Robonaut 2 also would be helped to make cars in the factory.

NASA previously had made the first generation of Robonaut. Robonaut 2 course will be more sophisticated than its predecessor, is designed to work faster, more skilled and stronger construction.

News: Medical Micro-robots Made As Small As Bacteria

20-Apr-09

Micro robots built by researchers for medical purpose. Here the complete news:

medical micro robotArtificial bacterial flagella are about half as long as the thickness of a human hair. They can swim at a speed of up to one body length per second. This means that they already resemble their natural role models very closely.

They look like spirals with tiny heads, and screw through the liquid like miniature corkscrews. When moving, they resemble rather ungainly bacteria with long whip-like tails. They can only be observed under a microscope because, at a total length of 25 to 60

This interesting information come from ScienceDaily, said about the future of robotics which could be made by anyone, not just industries or company who able to make a “big” robots.

====================
Robots To Clean Your Kitchen And Play Hockey?

Alexander Stoytchev and his three graduate students recently presented one of their robot’s long and shiny arms to a visitor.

Here, they said, swing it around. And so the visitor tentatively gave the robot’s left arm a few twists and twirls. The metal arm was heavy, but still moved easily at its shoulder, elbow and wrist joints.

Then the graduate students hit some keyboard commands and the robot replayed those exact arm movements.

It was all incredibly quick, smooth and precise.

STriDER, a three-legged walking robot

05-Mar-08

In a short article, New Scientist reports that researchers at Virginia Tech University have developed a tripedal experimental robot. With its three legs, this robot, named STriDER — short for ‘Self-excited Tripedal Dynamic Experimental Robot’ — is actually more stable than 2- or 4-legged robots. As said another researcher, ‘It’s like a biped with a walking stick.’ This robot is intended to deploy sensors and cameras in difficult-to-access areas.

STriDER components

STriDER has been developed under the supervision of Dennis Hong, an assistant professor at Virginia Tech and director of the Robotics and mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa). You can see above the various components of this robot. (Credit: Virginia Tech University)
