Stands in 50cm tall and weights 13kg this robot is mimicking the ability that fish has. This robot can move in speed of 1.4km/h. Like the previous BR23C this robot is a master in avoiding obstacles. <a href="Stands in 50cm tall and weights 13kg this robot is mimicking the ability that fish has. This robot can move in speed of 1.4km/h. Like the previous BR23C this robot is a master in avoiding obstacles. Eporo also projected to be a future technology that could prevent accident in the highway.
BR23C is a Biomimetic Robot Technology that has been developed by Nissan and their co partner Tokyo University for Advance Science and Technology and Takahashi Lab in 2008. This robot use to be called with Bee stands in 60cm tall. This robot could demonstrate a crash avoidance system that could be important for future mobility system. The robot is named Bee as this robot mimicking the Bee’s ability to avoid obstacle while flying. With the laser range equipped in this robot Bee could detect obstacles.
RA or the Robotic Agent is a new system developed by Nissan that is part of their electric vehicle concept Pivo 2. This RS is working by detecting the driver mind by monitoring their facial expressions and voice patters. His work is encouraging the driver to get to their positive mental level with the basic information of driver’s facial expression and voice patterns. According to the study held by Nissan that happy driver will be a safer driver, happy means less or reduce accidents.
Nissan has been developed a new mobility device with the co-partner AIST. This new mobility device appeared to be like a two wheeled footboard with two poles as the steer. It could travel around in 5km/hour with the help of motors and drive wheels installed on this device. There is sensor equipped on these devices that are used to detect the weight shift from user and also extra sensor to detect obstacles. This robot will still be developed by AIST for further improvement as this device is determined to be future commercialization.
A new adult sized humanoid robot has been developed by The University of Osaka and the Osaka Institute of Technology. Named JoiTech, this robot shown up in the RoboCup Japan Open 2010. JoiTech equipped with 22 degrees of freedom and moved by V-SERVO by Vstone. The system used in this robot makes him enable to kick the ball. In that competition JoiTech competed against The Orient’s, humanoid robot from Toyo University.
In 2004 Ossur in partnership with MIT developed an artificial intelligent prosthetic knee system named RHEO KNEE. Called to be intelligent with the ability in smartly adapt to people’s walking style and environment. This intelligent knee works smoothly with the support of microprocessor swing and stance knee system. This system independently learns the way user walks, responses and recognizes the speed, weight, and environment. It adapts quickly and enable user to adapt quickly to this artificial knee too.
It was developed in 2004 by QinetiQ North America’s Technology Solutions Group, a Sword Unmanned Vehicle that armed with machine gun and four cameras named MAARS (Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System). This robot is quiet in operation but turns dangerously when starts to fire! The cameras equipped in this vehicle enable operator to operate the vehicle in distance easily. This vehicle installed with three available options of force response. From Non-lethal mode that enable operator to have an eye-safe laser to dazzle people and loudspeaker
Invented by Tomotaka Takahashi at Robo-Garage in Kyoto University this robot succeeded entering the TIME’s 2004 Best Inventions as the Coolest Inventions 2004. This prototype robot is a small humanoid robot that named Chroino Robot. Chroino is standing in 35cm tall and weighted at 1050g with 24 degree of freedoms. The supply energy comes from a lithium polymer battery. This small humanoid has a black friendly appearance but has a sophisticated movement. With carbon and plastic frame in making the body this humanoid robot has a lightweight but strong body frame.
Developed by Adidas in 2005 it was called Adidas 1 Sneaker. This sneaker is different with casual sneaker, it has a computer on it and it’s friendly to your foot. The computer equipped in these shoes is used to measure the compression that you make on each of the heels. The computer is a microprocessor that is placed on the cushion of the shoes’ heel. This microprocessor controls the stiffness of the heels. For example when user takes their shoes in dirt trail the heels become more rigid, but when it takes to hard trail the heels will be softer.
In 1997 DARPA asked Sandia to create a platform robotic for military investigation applications, the robot that DARPA asked was a hopper. The result was a unique robot that used a piston. This robot could jump up to 20 feet tall. This robot is capable in right itself after jump with the piston position toward the ground. Engineer installed a microprocessor inside the robot to read compass. Moreover this robot equipped with a gimbal mechanism, this mechanism creates ability to roll around until it pointed to the right direction.
Perhaps this time we should jump off from the topic to see this little eye catching robot watch. This robot functionally can be used both as watch and clock, for your style and your desk accessories. This robot has little movable arms and a key ring that looks like a pair of headphones. The metallic appearance from this watch creates robotier look that makes people close and watch. This robot available in two colors and can be yours for about $35.
Who doesn’t love ice cream ? Girls and kids are the most lover, and who doesn’t love robot ? Robot lover could turn into ice cream with robot vends ice cream. Its would be an attractive robot that sells ice cream on the street side of your town. This cool vending ice cream robot is a Yaskawa-kun robot. This attractive ice cream robot given touchscreen panel for people to order the ice cream. The robot placed inside a “glasses-room” enables people to watch the robot’s action in making the ice cream. Its a pretty action to be watch while waiting for the ice cream served
Lucas is a platform for service robot from ASORO. ASORO introduced Lucas at Robocup 2010 together with Olivia. Lucas can be used in performing such task related to information stand, butler, tele-presence, patrol and tele-operation. Lucas is the first Asian robot that can perform a breathing expression. This expression is conveying the robot’s affective state. This makes Lucas increases the human-robot interaction. Lucas stands in 1.5m tall and weights 60kg.
Firefighter has given their entire life to safe others, sometimes they put them self in such danger position. The danger not only comes when they are in work, the side impact of this job just as dangerous as the direct impacts. Cancer is a real potential danger for firefighters. Marlin Grummas designs CAS, an air cleaning mask concept. CAS designed for firefighters, it can filter small particles than 2.5 microns. This particles can be the most deathly thing for them when fight the fire.

It seems that this robot inspired by the famous Digesting Duck. This robot is designed by new media and performance artist Taeyoon Choi. Taeyoon Choi designed this digesting photo taking duck with the ability to take photograph, print the photograph, and with WiFi connection the robot is able to display the photo. In taking the photograph the digesting photo taking duck uses a sensing flash of light that installed on its eye. After it took photograph the printer installed inside its body could process the result directly. Amazingly this digesting photo taking duck is able to upload photo to Flickr with the WiFi connection equipped on it.
