ERASE By INTRA In Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
INTRA developed outdoor robot with rubber caterpillars base to move in such terrain. Three of those robots said have been canceled to be participated to help Japanese government in handling situation in Fukushima Dai-Ichi. One of the three robots is ERASE robot. ERASE stands for External Reconnaissance, Assistance and Surveillance Robot. ERASE is a robot with rubber caterpillar base that used for outdoor inspection where there is a condition that could risk human being. This robot equipped with harsh environment electronics and elaborated transmission that allow operator to control this robot from distance up to 10km of distance.
Hocoma Lokomat: Enhanced Functional Locomotion Therapy with Augmented Feedback
Hocoma Lokomat is a modern driven gait orthosis that automates locomotion therapy on a treadmill. It can improve the efficiency of treadmill training to helps patients get better condition. The Lokomat helps patients to improve the therapy outcome by providing highly intensive, individualized training in a conducive and motivational environment of constant feedback. Lokomat believes that many small steps may result in great improvement. Hocoma Lokomat has the concept of “task-specific learning”. It is based on neuroplasticity that suggests to the daily activities since it can be trained and improved through continuous repetition in neurological patients.
Artificial Sensitive Skin Used For Robots
This artificial sensitive skin for robots is the important part for robotic helpers of people travelling in constantly changing environment, in order that the robots also have a multitude of sensations of human skin. There will be provided by tactile information in the synthetic skin for camera eyes, infrared scanners and gripping hands, will form the robots and the supplement of its perception. The way of the artificial sensitive skin works is similar as with human skin does, the robots will have a spontaneous reflect (when the robot hits an object) or cause the machine to search for the certain object.

The Funny Mr. Push Robot was created by Osaka-based Robot Force in order to create robot that could triger people to laugh when they interact or watch it.
Coby an Autonomous Bed Baths Robot
Cody is a concept robot from Georgia Tech. This robot could perform wiping motions that are involved in bed baths. This robot works autonomously using laser in specifying the part of patient body that need to be scrubbed. The image from the camera sent to a microprocessor which sends command to the robot’s arm to clean the selected area. Georgia Tech’s Healthcare Robotics Lab conducted tests to Coby, using image processing Coby determined the type of the debris
