With the success at the University of Excellence initiative is the cluster “Cognitive Interaction Technology” with an annual 6.5 million euros. In addition, the company decided the Honda humanoid Asimo robot two University for research on disposal. And these are really impressive technological Eisenstein. Before some time had ever been with us the luck in [...]

Japanese researchers develop a new generation of robots. The machines emulate the natural behavior of humans and animals to and show feelings. Curious Tama turns her head in the direction of the approaching steps. When she sees Toshihiro Tashima, gets her entire body in joyful movement. Lovingly takes Tashima in the arm. It does not [...]

To people in the household really help, you must first learn robot better cope with unknown situations. The problem: While researchers are now increasingly intelligent machines before programmer to even the most complex tasks to solve, but in an unstructured environment is hardly helps. At the University of Massachusetts Amherst has now developed a robot [...]
