Have you ever imagined, like human beings, robots will be able to recognize itself in mirror? Thanks to advanced robotic technology. Some computer scientists at Yale University, US have developed a humanoid robot called Nico that can recognise itself in mirror.
A team of Russian researchers are building a conceptual mind-transfer android (a robot with human appearance). The team’s goal is to help humanity achieve immortality using a combination of humanoid robots and interstellar space travel to get away from a dangerous and overcrowded planet.
We have seen many Humanoid Robots. Normally, these humanoid robots fall down or can’t maintain their balance while kicked from any side. But, recently University of Tokyo’s JSK Lab researchers have developed a high-torque, high-speed robotic leg based on a novel electrical actuation system which lets a robot maintain its balance and stand even if get kicked.
Robots are made to understand the physical capabilities and physiology of human movement for use in the design of machines with similar abilities. This time, scientists analysis this robots’ based on their performances as a function of speed, agility and efficiency, where speed is the center of mass absolute velocity, agility is the complexity of traversable terrain and efficiency is the cost of transport. Engineers at Meka Robotics and the University of Texas at Austin want to be the first to build a bipedal robot named Hume with Parkour skills. Hume has been designed to achieve the skill of Human-Centered Hyper-Agility (HCHA).
Imagine a robot which can assist the elderly people by performing a number of tasks for them. It can be of immense use, not only in the households but also commercially, in industries and other places. A lot of work has gone into the development of such a robot. Once such near-complete humanoid is Romeo Robot. It is being build by Aldebaran Robotics and now it has been captured on a video for a first time. You can watch the video below.
Robotic hand nearly identical to a human one with 20WPM and ready to embrace infinite monkey theorem.Engineers built this Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robotic Typing (DART) hand to mimic the real deal and down to individually-actuating three-segment digits and 110 degrees of wrist rotation in a package the size of a real human arm………
We were hoping NASA’s first robot astronaut, Robonaut 2 or R2, would get a stylish sci-fi type launch into space, perhaps sitting next to human astronauts. But it turns out, reality is rarely as glamorous as the movies.
The Japanese love for robots knows no end. Just a few weeks ago, we saw the video of the creepy humanoid robot that looks--for lack of a better word--bizarre. Now…
