This article is about the friendly robot, Kaspar. It has been developed by scientists in the Aurora project a robot that will help the autism children. This robot Kaspar also can be used as the educational purposes. This educational purposes headed in encouraging the autism children to get interaction with people and community. This robot will help children by playing games with them; let us say Kaspar takes role as companion for them in therapy.
This robot can learn how to make realistic human facial expressions. Called as Einstein, this robot creates asymmetric random facial movements to explore face while the computer measures the expression and then has learned expression output. This unique robot head has about 30 facial muscles, each moved by a tiny servo motor connected to the muscle by a string.
Panasonic as one of the biggest electronic manufacturers in the world has been committed in a research and development of robotics that helping or assisting people. There are two robots that Panasonic unveiled at the 37th International Home Care & Rehabilitation Exhibition (H.C.R.) 2010. One of them is a robot that helps you in washing hair; yes it is a hair washer robot! This robot is created in order to help workers in hospital to get more efficiently work in hospital, as the studies shown that workers cannot always attend for the hair washing because they have lots of works to do.
MAC is the latest futuristic robot announced by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). AFP launches its MAC (Mechanical Anti-terrorist Concept) with PhP 1.7 million. It is a Philippine anti terrorist robot concept. The developer of this Philippine anti terrorist robot, Mapua Institute of Technology is still working on cheaper MAC with additional features. The head of the team, John Judilla stated that they would make the brand new version MAC which is able to be operated underwater and able to go up and down the staircases. The Philippine anti terrorist robot MAC is in progress
Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fujitsu Frontech Limited had been announced their service robot in Tokyo at September 13 2004. This service robot was made in order to provide some services from commercial into public service. This service robot can be the office service robot, commercial service robot or public service robot. Just like another service and assistance robot this robot is made in order to ease human life. The service robot itself was planned to be on sell by June 2005.
Here are some interesting facts about why the project uses snake not other animal: modular snakes are not limited to predefined terrain as its many degrees of freedom allow for greater versatility, modular snakes can adapt to terrain from poles to gaps between walls, modular snakes are ideal for navigating through networks of pipes, both inside and outside. Moreover, these highly articulated devices can coordinate their internal degrees of freedom to perform a variety of locomotion capabilities that go beyond the capabilities of conventional wheeled and the recently developed legged robots.
Prosthetic use to be related to human being, but in UK recently known that bionic feet could be used on animal. A cat named Oscar given new feet after its back feet severed by harvester. The one who responsible in operating Oscar was Noel Fitzpatrick. Oscar was given two prosthetic limbs which developed by a team from University College London. This revolutionary bionic feet is a intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthetics, a special prosthetic. It is a bioengineered prosthetic leg that able to mimic the bone. This prosthetic is a combination of engineering mechanics with biology which makes it revolutionary. The University team used metal and flange to grow outside skin into tight bone.
Bangladesh soon will compete on NASA’s robot contest for the first time by readied their lunar robot. This lunar robot was made by students in Brac University of Bangladesh. Annual Lunabotic Mining Competition by NASA was the competition that this lunar robot going to join. This private university named their lunar robot BRACU Chondrobot which made of car parts that being recycled and other components. Brac University’s team that designed this robot has eight member that led by Shiblee Imtiaz Hasan and Jonayet Hossain. BRACU Chondrobot designed to explore lunar surface where the robot will be worked to collect the soil samples for examination.
