Here is a telepresence prototype, a robot developed to see what the person wearing it is seeing. It wraps around the shoulders like a backpack equipped with an advanced video camera and a microphone. It may be useful for teleconferences, or if you need to talk on behalf of someone far away. This an original […]DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) wants to develop an initiative to build a robotic hand which imitates the gestures of a human hand. Robert Mandelbaum, a manager at DARPA, explained that the research agency and robotics communities in recent years have focused on robots which move on the ground going from point A to […]You are going to be amazed by this drawing robot who can sketch your portrait just by looking at you. This Aikon2 Skediomata robotic arm was presented at the Kinetica Art Fair in London a few days ago. It uses a video camera to view facial features and then the “hand” reproduces them on a […]RoboPharma, a robotics technology adapted to the healthcare sector, will distribute medications in a British hospital, University Hospital of North Staffordshire. This robot who can distribute prescriptions to nurses and doctors in less than 20 seconds costs 345,000 euro. The robot which is 6 meters deep and 12 meters long looks like a large automatic […]The lifestyle of ants inspired British robotics researchers. An ant is independent but works for the group (anthill) even if it is not aware of the overall effect of its work on the colony. Scientists have been inspired by this collective and independent lifestyle and applied it to robotics. They have built a dozen robots […]Found on Dailymotion, this television report from France 5 talks about the phenomenon of robots in Japan. The Japanese are no 1 in the world for industrial robotics. And they risk becoming the same for humanoid robotics. You’ll see the very lifelike CB2 baby robot, as well as Repliee Q2, the female android. “The robot […]Hi everyone, I’m Angelina and I’ve just jumped on board with GoRobotics as of late. I’m particularly inclined towards social cases and human-robot interaction, so I hope to bring you a lot of interesting stories on that front. I have a background in artificial intelligence (cognitive science) and so another thing I hope to do […]Demonstration of an HTC Hero mobile telephone controlling a Lego Mindstorms robot remotely … simply by moving the phone. HTC Hero uses an ENEA application that runs under Google’s Android operating system, which uses Hero’s sensor to direct the robot and to connect via Wi-Fi In summary to remote control the robot car in the […]
