PaPeRo become Robot Cashier

Japanese electronics companies, NEC, to develop a robot that is destined to work as a cashier. This robot named PaPeRo, its funny and cute.

Unlike the robots in general, PaPeRo is not equipped with hand. Then how it serves the consumer? Well that’s where the strengths, he simply relies on his voice to guide consumers to make payments.

Quoted from Cnet News, PaPeRo did not work alone. But it’s also equipped with payment device called “E-Money Twinpos Self-Checkout System” made by NEC.

Robotics in Our Everyday Life

Human life is increasingly felt easier with the discovery of various tools that can help people perform their activities.For some people, the facilities would have made him even more lazy. But for others, surely it would make it easier to do many things. In the end, people themselves who will make choices for themselves.

Science fiction movies would have us believe that robotics will soon be dominating our lives. Recent movies like I, Robot and A.I. offer exciting glimpses into a potential future where humans and robots live, but we’re still decades away from that. While giant strides in computers and miniaturization have rooted robotics into mainstream manufacturing and delivery of industrial products, there’s still a lot to learn. We need at least another generation or two before robotic engineering can make robots as common as your PCs at home and in the office.

Simply put, robotics is an allied application of computer science that is more involved in getting programmed instructions to make electro-mechanical devices called robots perform specialized tasks and accomplish results. And achieving that can include using more complex thinking computers that can interact with the environment, people and can move about to make things happen depending on their purposes.

Tiny Line Follower Robot

This line follower robot is very small and simple. This robot is running fast and follow the line very smoothly. You may see the video here.

Mechanics

All mechanical and electrical parts are mounted on a proto board, and it also constitutes the chasis.

Robotics Ebook: Build a Remote-Controlled Robot

This book will show you how to make remote-controlled robot, step by step…

Preface:
In recent years robots have captured the interest of more and more people. Thanks to movies and TV, the notion of the robot as a mechanical companion and servant has become a common concept. As interest in robots grew, a number of books showing how to build robots at home began to appear. These books, however, were very technical, showing how to build computer-controlled mobile platforms that are considered by most to be true robots.
