The two developed at the Technical University of Vienna Space Robot Roby Space Junior I and II have passed its first test in space. The Sunday started by the Japanese Uchinoura Space Center rocket placed the two robots as planned. Their task was to get around on a strained inter-satellite network. “After what we know [...]

In the video, provided below, you can see how the sniper was shooting at a moving robot. But this is not the beginning of a global war between humans and robots; it is a training ground for practicing skills, military sniper Special Forces army Australia.

Today, the implementation of the heavy and monotonous work without robots already seems impossible. However, the robots in everyday life a little used, they have not yet received access to our private lives. But, however, is likely to be held in the near future.

One of the main challenges for the robots, which are engaged in repairing a cable on the seabed – a precise definition of the injury. The muddy bottom at a depth of tens of meters of a lantern fixed on the robot does not always allow the operator on the computer screen to consider what [...]

Scientists of the Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has long concerned with building a robot capable of copying human facial expressions. One of the first developments in this direction was a robot Buddy 1.5. A robot moving eyes, eyebrows, lips – as well as the operator, sitting opposite.

Five teams of two robots attempted to smack a softball from one side of the court to another at the British Association’s Festival of Science in Sheffield, UK. Unlike the usual game, the ball rolls across the floor and if it is not returned within 60 seconds the point is lost.

Robots have long earned a living space to assembly-line world automotive industry. In recent years car production significantly affected by the financial crisis. As a result – the restructuring of enterprises. American concern Chrysler sold his old plant Delavara University (USA). And in February 2010, University sells at auction equipment shops "Chrysler. Among other things, [...]

RoboCup is an “autonomous humanoid robots in the year 2050, winning the human World Cup champion team” set a goal of 1997 is a robotic soccer competition was started. In the first Annual Meeting of the Simulation League, League medium, was only one of three small league, and Humanoid Robot League is now 4 feet,

Animal-like robots are playing an increasingly important role as a link between the worlds of biology and engineering. The new, multidisciplinary field of biorobotics provides tools for biologists studying animal behavior and testbeds for the study and evaluation of biological algorithms for potential engineering applications. This book focuses on the role of robots as tools [...]

Honda’s Asimo robot conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Robots are increasingly becoming less whimsical and more practical. Photographer: Paul Sancya/AP.In an age when multi-skilling is at a premium, Motoman may prove to be the model employee. When he’s not spot-welding on a car production line, he’s flipping pancakes – with not a drop of spilled [...]

The Robot Wars community justifiably thinks that autonomous robots are slow. Not so. You see, previous autonomous entries used notebook computer brains. Camp Peavy’s Gladiator Rodney used a 386SX with DOS 6.22, programmed in GW-BASIC; same as he did to win the autonomous face-off in 96. But this year he’s wielding an electric chain saw [...]

There are different kinds of robots, including humanoids which are for instance those who left us watching the movie “Robocop” or to deliver a more everyday example, the robot Asimo from Honda. As can be seen in the first graph of this article, the Asimo was changing as the technology of artificial intelligence was giving [...]
