South Korean Human Like Maid Robot Mahru-Z
A human like robot or humanoid robot that developed as maid robot was developed in South Korea. This robot is able of doing maid tasks like cleaning home, picking up dirty laundry to washing machine, and heating food in microwave. This 130 cm tall and 55 kg robot named Mahru-Z that took two years to be developed. Mahru-Z could rotate its head, arms, legs and fingers like human. For the vision Mahru-Z used three-dimensional vision that allows Mahru-Z to recognize chores. By observing the object Mahru-Z is able to recognize the task need to be completed and then directly execute it.
Another Amazing Climbing Robot, RiSE
With six feet, ¼ meter long, and 2 kilo weight RiSE can move in 0.3 m/s. this robot designed with the posture that can change to fit the surface of wall or tree that the robot climbed. RiSE has special feet that are designed to climb in different surfaces. This robot can do the job in climbing the walls, trees, or fences. Inside this robot is placed an onboard computer to control the move of the legs, sensors, and manages communications.
VERI II B Investigation Robot By INTRA
There are many kind of outdoor robots that Groupe INTRA developed and one of them is the VERI II B. VERI II B stands for Teleoperated Vehicle for Investigation 2B. This robot now could possibly used for non emergency missions. This remote controlled robot could be teleoperated until 2 km of distance. This robot equipped with rubber caterpillar to move around. Like the other heavy robot from INTRA this robot has 5 ton weight. In completing its work this robot equipped with embarked hydraulic tools like shear, power pick and drilling machine. This robot given an internal and eternal radiological supervision system beside this system this robot also given classified NBC protection like nuclear, bacteriological, and chemical.
Olivia, ASORO Receptionist Robot
ASORO, Singapore’s A*Star Social Robotics Laboratory introduced a pair of service robots at RoboCup 2010. Those called Lucas and Olivia. Olivia is receptionist robot that stands in 160cm tall and weighs 152kg. The robot is a wheel-based robot that moves on a four-wheeled Power BOT base and has 26 degrees of freedom. When Olivia is not “working” her arms can be kept out of harm’s way by pull in inside the body. Her arms can imitate human gestures, more than that she can grasp and hold small objects.
US Navy Terrain Robot Robo-Lobster
It was invented by Don Massa and Joseph Ayers, the Robo-Lobster made from industrial plastic that developed under the Massa Products. With 7lb and 2ft this lobster robot has a real hard job. US Navy planned this robot in order to identify and destroy mines hidden in surf zone. The prototype of this robot in 2003 used to negotiate all types of coastal topography. Perfectly mimicking animal this robot’s antennas used to sense obstacles. The others key feature is its eight legs can drive this robot in any direction while the claws and tail enables Robo-Lobster to keep its balance in unstable water.
Fuji-Ace EC-141: Industrial Robotic For Cement Bags Palletizing
Robotic has been very helpful thing to human for decades for human specifically in industrial area. Many robotic system used in industrial area to raise productivity and efficiently. In the port Melbourne plant of Independent Cement & Lime a model of robotic has been installed since 2003 to help the palletizing. This robot named Fuji-Ace CE-141 and supplied by Budpak. EC-141 used in process of stacking bags of cement. With this robotic system installed here the process of filling and packing the cement are getting faster than before.
