A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot? 12/18/2003 12:58 PM
It took years for researchers to figure out how to make a robot be able to stand and walk on two legs. In fact, it's so complicated, that some researchers are giving up on that idea and using Segway balancing technology on their robots instead of legs. However, the folks at Sony seem to have taken the concept of the upright walking robot one step further: they've figured out how to make a robot run. That's right, it actually leaves the ground at points while jogging along. It apparently needs a bit of a walking start to get up to speed, and even at running speed, it's more of a slow jog - where it's feet barely leave the ground. Still, it's a start, and with some more work, they believe they can really make the robot run.

It's been a while since we mentioned Hans Moravec but a new Scientific American article turns out to be just what we needed. The article gives an update on his company, Seegrid Corporation, and the robot vision system they've been developing. Along the way he talks about the growth of raw computing power from the bacterium-level ENIAC to the modern guppy-level desktop PC.

Robot Sex 05/06/2004 05:17 PM
Simson Garfinkel has written a new Technology Review article on the subject of Robot Sex - not sex as in robot procreation but as in robot gender. Is your robot a male or female? It turns out Honda thinks Asimo is a male and consistently refers to it as "he". The Roomba, on the other hand, is female according to the author. The article also mentions the Neiman Marcus his & her robots which included a male and female robot. There's a related Slashdot discussion.

Wow Robot KHR-1

Wow Robot KHR-1 07/07/2004 08:04 AM

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/images/khr01.jpg" alt="khr01.jpg image" width="141" height="250" class="borderyes" border="0" align="right" vspace="5" hspace="15"/>I don't know everything about this $1,450 'KHR-1' kit from Korean firm Wow Robot, but just from watching the video I can put together that this little humanoid bot can kick (soccer-style), shuffle step, pick itself up off the floor, and assume any number of badass fighting poses. All 17 different joints are powered by a single motor, and there is even software to pre-script the movements on your computer and play them back again and again. Probably a little out of most casual robotics fans' price range, but for those that really like contributing to our species' ultimate destruction, you know, on the side, the Wow Robot is a lot of cybernetic doom for not a lot of cash. (Thanks, Soonkack!)

Robot librarian

Robot librarian 07/21/2004 11:20 AM
Researchers at Universitat Jaume I in Spain are designing a robot librarian of sorts. The three-wheeled bot listens for verbal book requests, heads to the approximate location of the title on a shelf, and uses digital cameras to read the spines. The toughest challenge is engineering a grasper with "fingernails" to pull out the book, Professor Angel del Pobil told the BBC:

"It is mimicking the way we manipulate our hands. We have constant feedback from tactile sensors, so it is moving very slowly. In the first experiments, the books really got damaged because it was pressing too hard. Now it touches gently."

Several readers alerted us to Roland Piquepaille's latest weblog entry about a robot equipped with a device that allows it to take fingerprints from suspicious packages that would normally have to be destroyed by bomb disposal teams. Photos and a detailed description of the new device, known as the "Robot Accessory for Fuming Fingerprint Evidence" or RAFFE, can be found in a paper (PDF format) presented in the March 2004 of the Journal of Forensic Sciences. There is also a related Slashdot article.

Sega's Near Me Robot Cat

Sega's Near Me Robot Cat 08/30/2004 08:08 AM

At first Sega's "Near Me" robot cat looks cute. "A $300 robot pet that plays and cuddles with me?" you might ask, rhetorically, "Awesome!" That is, until you see the little bastard move in the videos at the bottom of the page. If you aren't ready to bash the Near Me into bits of robot kibble by the end, clearly something is wrong with your fight or flight reflexes. That thing is waiting to strike; you can see it in its eyes. (Thanks, Peter!)

Experimenting AI Lab Robot

Experimenting AI Lab Robot 01/16/2004 11:01 AM
Reuters says that British researchers have created a Robot Scientist that Conducts and Interprets Lab Tests The article says that the robot can formulate theories and do research and works as well as a grad student. (er, um, Did the robot verify that claim with a control subject / grad student?) They did say that there were no differences found between the lab results from the robot and from those gathered by grad students. But at least they do say the tasks they have given it were simple ones and that it's unlikely to put anyone out of a job. So basically, this robot harbinger of the future can take the grunt work out of doing lab experiments, allowing robots to yet again free the world from drudgery (that professors usually dump on grad students). One researcher says, " If you opened it up I think humans would have the advantage. We tend to be more flexible " If it really can figure out things for itself, the scientists may have invented themselves out of a job!

Robot Dog, One of, Field Use

Robot Dog, One of, Field Use 01/07/2004 01:56 PM
The US Army TACOM group is spending $2.25 million on research projects aimed at building robot dogs that can carry a soldier's field equipment and keep up with the soldier over any terrain. Right now, each man has to carry up to 100 pounds of ammunition, food, and equipment. The long term challenge is making a four legged robot that can move as fast and quietly as a man over any terrain. The immediate challenge is making a four legged robot big enough for the job that doesn't fall over and doesn't need an internal combustion engine for power. For more, see Noah Shachtman's interesting article on the program in Wired.

I know they went to Mars but getting a robot to fix Hubble has me wondering if they can really pull this off. [BBC]< /p>

"Mule" the War Robot

"Mule" the War Robot 05/05/2004 03:25 PM
WFAA.com says that a Grand Prairie TX company Lockheed-Martin is creating a new military robot called the "Mule". This war robot will go where humans dare not go. The Mule come in various configurations from cargo, air assault, counter mine, to rapid fire battle weapon. The Mule can go into hostile urban areas and brave streams of bullets that humans could not endure. Mules could be dropped in by helicopter or by cargo plane. Its advanced suspension and nimble wheels allow it to climb over obstacles or go up stairs. It can even kneel to shield troops. It can see and shoot! Be afraid! This robot could change the way troops battle on the battlefield forever.

Segway Becoming a War Robot?

Segway Becoming a War Robot? 12/02/2003 12:23 AM
CTV.ca has an article that says U.S. considers turning scooters into war robots.Though few could afford the $4,000 Segway scooters, Universitys bought them for study and now the US millitary wants to enlist them for battlefield missions. Segways have already been modified to open doors and avoid obstacles and such, and now the military wants to send them out for search missions, transporting injured soldiers and carrying gear. So maybe the Segway scooter deserves more of our respect, because even as President Bush embarrisingly found out, these Segways now have the potential to do harm.
