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.

Carbon Nanotube Robots Artificial Muscle
Smooth motion of robots like human or animal will be happen soon. Muscle is the most important in robots development. Moving object will become more attractive with elastic muscle inside. And with muscle, robots can just act like as and can do task like we did. It’s really great new materials invent. Hmm…I think (r)evolution is begin today. After made supermodel robot and worry about robot army, like or not robots will have important roles in futures, not next 100 years, but I think just a couples years from now.
Detect Water Sea Pollution Using Fish Robotics
Essex scientists develop more easy, effective and efficient way to monitoring water pollution, especially sea water in ports. The team will develop autonomous fish equipped with chemical sensors, which will find pollutants and create a real-time 3D map of the port, showing what chemicals are present and where.
Womanoid Catwalk Model Robot
Robot as model, what awesome! It’s almost natural. Its or she has fluid movement and so expressive. This humanoid girl designed as usual Japanese woman between ages of 19 to 29. Call as HRP-4C, this robot girl has 30 motors in its body that allow it to walk and move its arms and eight facial motors for blinking, smiling, and expressing emotions akin to anger and surprise.
