2,000 Robots Fought In Afghanistan
As US troops fought a combat in Afghanistan there were over 100,000 soldiers joint the war. What did we know about this war was a man-to-man battle in a gun shot with the help of bunch of high-tech equipment like tank, Husky vehicle, bomber plane, etc. But there was another fact who said there is about 2,000 robots joint the war alongside the human troops in Afghanistan. Most of the robots used there were the life saving ground robots. These robots were used not only to detonate active bombs by bomb-disposal unit but also detect and detonate buried bombs. These kinds of robots could be a great robot to clear the routes so that troops and vehicles able to travel safely.

While DaVinci, is a special robot that do the surgery. The process of the surgery is done in a strict supervision. The robot surgery shows that robot surgery is more thorough and precise than human.
Slipping Medicine Reminder Robot Mamoru
In December of 2008 IRT Research Institute introduced their 40cm tall and 3.8kg robot named Mamoru. Like another IRT’s projects this robot works in assisting elderly. Mamoru has role in helping elderly to find their lose pills in case the always forget it. This robot works by using the Scale Invariant Feature Transform or SIFT. This vision system that was equipped in Mamoru used to detect objects. The vision was developed by Fujitsu, this vision tracking motion and recognizing gesture and face.
CirculaFloor VR Laboratory Robotics
VR Lab University of Tsukuba created CirculaFloor. CirculaFloor is a locomotion interface using a group of movable tiles. The movable tiles employ holonomic mechanism that achieves omni-directional motion. Circulation of the tiles enables the user to walk in virtual environment while his/her position is maintained. The user can walk in arbitrary direction in virtual environment. CirculaFloor project is a joint research with ATR Media Information Science Labs.
