Japanese researchers are working to realize a society where robots live with humans and perform simple tasks at home, like turning on the light, ordering the purchase or do the cleaning.  Rapid technological development and the discovery of new building materials will allow, in just a few decades, there are robots able to understand, analyze [...]

The European Commission (EC) announced its intention to strengthen the links between university and company for the production of key components such as engines and gearboxes, to cope with Asian competition and avoid dependence on other regions of the world for the supply of these strategic elements.

After a period of two years of intensive development, Aldebaran Robotics team enters a new phase, which will be completed by the delivery of our first models. At this stage, our communication will intensify, as well as our investment in emerging community and returns will be more passionate than ever solicited. Nao is now in [...]

The nano robotics laboratory at the University of Carnegie Mellon has developed a new type of robot that can be swallowed and controlled outside the body. The capsule has a small robotic arm adhesives that can be set on internal walls slippery and then come off without damaging the tissue. Using a remote control, doctors [...]

I-Sobot is the name of this tiny humanoid robot. I say very small because these dimensions are 16.5 centimeters high and 6.7 centimeters deep, 10 centimeters wide and 350 grams. With these I-17 engines Sobot is capable of reproducing 200 movements including dances, imitations of animals, acrobatics and galipettes complex and may deliver approximately 180 [...]

Carnegie Mellon researchers have taught ASIMO to walk through ‘frogger’-like moving obstacles and among spinning blades of doom ala Indiana Jones.

The French company Aldebaran Robotics working since 2005 to develop a robot biped for the general public. The small humanoid named NAO is very promising since board functions mechanical, electronic and cognitive worthy of the best research prototypes! You can really see it as the little brother of the famous Honda’s ASIMO. Thanks to its [...]

Scientists at the Honda Research Institute have recently released a demo video of their latest state of the art humanoid robot: MiniAsimo. The culmination of years of research in robotics, nano-technology and chemoastrophysrobology, MiniAsimo contains the same functionality as the original Asimo model, while standing a mere 1.5 inches tall.
