Humanoid robotics projects. Various global humanoid projects, which have provided further advancement to the area of humanoid robotics, are listed in these pages. A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments.
Generally humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble a human. Various humanoid robotic projects from around the world have focused on and developed areas such as cognitive learning and improved autonomy, and this area of robotics is continuing to develop at a rapid pace.
Many researchers in the field are studying the social and technical aspects which will enable safer physical interaction between humans and robots. ATOM-7xp Geminoid Robonaut 2 e-nuvo. DARPA DRC | DARPA Robotics Challenge Home. Paro Therapeutic Robot. PROTÓTIPOS. RoboSimian. DRC - DARPA Robotics Challenge, RoboSimian (Track A) Natural and man-made disasters have caused suffering for people around the world, in past ages, today, and surely tomorrow. Our best robotic tools are helping, but they are not yet robust enough to function in all environments and perform all the basic tasks needed to mitigate a crisis situation. DARPA is holding a competition to advance the applicability of robots to disaster situations. JPL and Stanford will build a simian-inspired limbed robot to participate in the competition. This groundbreaking RoboSimian uses deliberate and stable operations to complete challenging tasks under supervised tele-operation while in a degraded human environment.
This emphasis on stability over dynamics and deliberation over reaction will result in faster and more robust overall operations by decreasing missteps for both robot and human operator. Brett Kennedy - Jet Propulsion Laboratory. ARTIGOS. How Robots Can Trick You Into Loving Them. Wikipedia - Robot. The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots,[2] as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is robotics. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. These robots have also created a newer branch of robotics: Soft robotics.
Robots have replaced humans[4] in the assistance of performing those repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do due to size limitations, or even those such as in outer space or at the bottom of the sea where humans could not survive the extreme environments. There are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society. Summary History Early beginnings. História dos Robots - Karel Čapek. Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Busto de Karel Čapek Karel Čapek (Malé Svatoňovice, 9 de Janeiro de 1890 – Praga, 25 de Dezembro de 1938), foi um escritor checo. Foi o criador da palavra Robot (a partir de robota, que, em sua lingua e em outras línguas eslavas, pode significar trabalho exercido de forma compulsória. Em 1921, Capek escreveu uma peça de teatro chamada R.U.R., iniciais de "Rossum's Universal Robots".

Pleo Robot PLEO is an animatronic pet dinosaur toy designed to emulate the appearance and (imagined) behavior of a week-old baby Camarasaurus. It was designed by Caleb Chung, the co-creator of the Furby, Chung's company Ugobe first sold Pleo and was manufactured by Jetta Company Limited.[1] Chung selected this species of dinosaur because its body shape, stocky head, and relatively large cranium made it ideal for concealing the sensors and motors needed for lifelike animation. According to Ugobe, each Pleo would "learn" from its experiences and environment through a sophisticated artificial intelligence and develop an individual personality. PLEO was unveiled on February 7, 2006 at the DEMO Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona and was expected to come on the Indian and American markets around Fall 2007.
PLEO shipments started on December 5, 2007. In April 2009, Ugobe laid off all of its employees and filed for bankruptcy.[2] Overview[edit] Features[edit] Ugobe bankruptcy[edit] [ 1. DISPOSITIVOS - Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robot - Overview. Virtually Maintenance-Free New brushless extractors prevent the tangles and jams of hair and other debris, making it even easier for Roomba to tackle daily dirt build-up with less work for you. More Convenience Features+ Avoids Off-Limit Areas A Virtual Wall® emits an infrared beam that Roomba will not cross, keeping it in the rooms you want to vacuum and out of the ones you don’t. Roomba Análise. Demorou... mas eis que tenho o privilégio de finalmente vos apresentar a nossa análise ao iRobot Roomba 555 - um equipamento que nos gentilmente oferecido pela Cleverhouse, e que brevemente irá ser oferecido a um de vocês, por intermédio de um passatempo no Aberto até de Madrugada.
Actualização: passatempo para ganhares este Roomba já está a decorrer! :) Poderá não ter a câmara de vigilância de outros aspiradores robot, nem ser o modelo mais avançado da gama Roomba, mas podem crer que este pequeno aspirador robótico doméstico tem tudo o que é necessário para vos ajudar a poupar tempo. Tempo que habitualmente seria gasto a manter a casa o mais limpa possível, e que assim ficará disponível para se dedicarem a coisas mais interessantes e proveitosas. O iRobot Roomba 555 Abrir a caixa de um Roomba pela primeira vez pode ser um pouco assustador, não pela quantidade de peças que tem (que até são poucas), mas sim pelo aspecto estranho que têm... Em pormenor Em Funcionamento Apreciaçao Final Prós. Roomba. Video of a Roomba 530 in action Roomba 530 docked in base station, a third-generation model (500 series) Roomba is a series of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners sold by iRobot.
Roomba was introduced in 2002.[1] As of Feb 2014[update], over 10 million units have been sold worldwide.[2] Roomba features a set of basic sensors that help it perform tasks. For instance, the Roomba is able to change direction on encountering obstacles, detect dirty spots on the floor, and detect steep drops to keep it from falling down stairs. It uses two independently operating wheels that allow 360 degree turns. Additionally, it can adapt to perform other more "creative" tasks using an embedded computer in conjunction with the Roomba Open Interface. Description[edit] A selection of Roomba internal parts All Roomba models are disc-shaped, 34 cm (13") in diameter and less than 9 cm (3.5") high. iRobot has released several types of dust and debris collection bins for the 500 Series robots.
