Japanese firm is building a quarter size transformer robot that can walk and drive at a great speed. Built around a special operating system, this robot is giving hope to the team, and they are intent on building the full scale transformer in 2020.
Humanoid robots are getting smarter than before. Now, researchers have made PIBOT, a tiny humanoid robot which is now learning to fly real airplanes!
Birds often pose a real threat to the aviation industry as they get stuck in airplane engines and raise serious issues. So, a Netherlands based company has created 3D printed robotic birds that will scare away real birds from danger. These robotic birds will be controlled via a remote control and now are being tested.
Undoubtedly, robots are typically very complicated devices. It takes quite a long time for anyone to assemble a robot. But lately, two scientists from the Harvard University in the US, have invented such a robot that can assemble and fold itself and then walk away.
Now a days, robots are getting new tech. Lately, researchers at the University of California, have made such robots that can see through walls using Wi-Fi signals.
We have seen in many movies that robots are a member of a family. If you also dream to have a robot as part of your family, then it’s not too far. Cynthia Breazeal, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is trying to create the world’s first family robot called Jibo.
Now a days, robots are being deployed to almost every sectors. Lately a professor has unveiled the world’s first solar-powered robot in Australia. The robot is called Ladybird and it’s been designed for farms to collect data on pests and plant disease, pick weeds, and someday even harvest crops.
Until now, NASA has sent very few robots to Mars, but none of these can create 3D infrastructure of the red planet. Therefore, NASA is now building robots that will be able to create 3D infrastructure of Mars.
