Robot obeys to commands and gestures At the CeBIT in Hanover, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the FZI Research Center for Information Technology will present innovations for our everyday life in the future. At the joint stand G33 in hall 26, a humanoid kitchen robot will move around. The FZI House of Living Labs will present the interactive HoLLiE service robot and solutions for intelligent energy management. ARMAR Robot Learns by Watching A robot helping in the household no longer is a dream of the future. ARMAR, the humanoid robot, can understand commands and execute them independently. Thus, it adapts naturally to our environment. A video on ARMAR can be found at:

Paralyzed individuals use thought-controlled robotic arm to reach and grasp n an ongoing clinical trial, a paralyzed woman was able to reach for and sip from a drink on her own -- for the first time in nearly 15 years -- by using her thoughts to direct a robotic arm. The trial, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, is evaluating the safety and feasibility of an investigational device called the BrainGate neural interface system. This is a type of brain-computer interface (BCI) intended to put robotics and other assistive technology under the brain's control. A report published May 16 in Nature describes how two individuals -- both paralyzed by stroke -- learned to use the BrainGate system to make reach-and-grasp movements with a robotic arm, as part of the BrainGate2 clinical trial. For the woman, it was the first time since her stroke that she was able to sip a drink without help from a caregiver. "The smile on her face was a remarkable thing to see. NIH has supported basic and applied research in this area for more than 30 years. Dr. Dr.
Half man, half machine: Scientists engineer first 'cyborg' tissue - which uses living human cells and organic polymers Harvard scientists created 'cyborg' skin from neurons, heart cells, and nano-electronic wiringWiring allows scientists to detect and respond to pH changes on the tissue's surface, the same as human skin By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 04:43 GMT, 30 August 2012 | Updated: 16:31 GMT, 30 August 2012 It like it’s something out of a science-fiction movie – genius scientists engineer a synthetic skin that’s part living, part electronics. But scientists at Harvard University have done just that, creating meshes of electronic and biological tissue. The end result is cyborg tissue, which is created from electrodes and wires combined on a Nano-scale. Engineering humanity: Scientists at Harvard have found a way to create cyborg skin, using nano-wires to mesh and human cells High tech: Here, cardiac cells are pictured with a nano-electroic electrode highlighted The results, published in Nature Materials, detail how scientists in the lab embedded electrical nanowires into the lab-grown flesh.
Indoor navigation system for blind University of Nevada, Reno computer science engineering team Kostas Bekris and Eelke Folmer presented their indoor navigation system for people with visual impairments at two national conferences in the past two weeks. The researchers explained how a combination of human-computer interaction and motion-planning research was used to build a low-cost accessible navigation system, called Navatar, which can run on a standard smartphone. "Existing indoor navigation systems typically require the use of expensive and heavy sensors, or equipping rooms and hallways with radio-frequency tags that can be detected by a handheld reader and which are used to determine the user's location," Bekris, of the College of Engineering's Robotics Research Lab, said. "This has often made the implementation of such systems prohibitively expensive, with few systems having been deployed." "My research is motivated by the belief that a disability can be turned into an innovation driver," Folmer said.
Cerveau biologique et corps mécanique Jusqu’à présent, plusieurs expériences évaluaient le fonctionnement complémentaire de composants organiques et robotiques : de la puce électronique qui commande à l’organe, jusqu’au petit groupe de neurones reliés à un dispositif mécanique tel qu’une prothèse de bras. Une nouvelle étape vient d’être franchie : un cerveau biologique contenant plusieurs dizaines de milliers de neurones connectés à un système robotique, a donné naissance à un petit cyborg à même d’apprendre des comportements simples comme éviter un mur, et destiné à favoriser les études sur la mémoire ou la neurodégénération. C’est un petit robot disposant d’un nombre conséquent de neurones biologiques qu’une équipe de l’université de Reading, menée par le célèbre professeur Warwick, a conçu en couplant biologie et électronique. Le cerveau biologique a ainsi pu apprendre à contrôler sommairement la partie mécanique, permettant au robot d’apprendre, notamment d’éviter et de contourner les obstacles. Articles relatifs
Exoskeleton of advanced design promises new degree of independence for people with paraplegia The dream of regaining the ability to stand up and walk has come closer to reality for people paralyzed below the waist who thought they would never take another step. A team of engineers at Vanderbilt University's Center for Intelligent Mechatronics has developed a powered exoskeleton that enables people with severe spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Its light weight, compact size and modular design promise to provide users with an unprecedented degree of independence. The university has several patents pending on the design and Parker Hannifin Corporation -- a global leader in motion and control technologies -- has signed an exclusive licensing agreement to develop a commercial version of the device, which it plans on introducing in 2014. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, somewhere between 236,000 to 327,000 people in the U.S. are living with serious spinal cord injuries. About 155,000 have paraplegia.
Cyborg et IA : la fusion programmée entre l'homme et la machine | CommentCaMarche Décembre 2017 Ces deux domaines, aussi vastes que passionnants, sont des thèmes très utilisés dans les oeuvres de science-fiction, passionnant les foules depuis plus d'un siècle. Si certains livres, séries ou films les ont popularisés, ces deux notions restent difficiles à définir, car elles recouvrent de nombreux champs de connaissances, souvent peu accessibles au grand public. Le Cyborg : la frontière entre l'homme et la machine On appelle « cyborg » tout être vivant - généralement humain - qui aurait été « augmenté » par des ajouts mécaniques au sein même de son corps. Mais le concept a émergé bien avant. Aujourd'hui on parle de plus en plus de cyborg non plus en termes de fiction, mais d'avancées scientifiques. Des hommes dont les capacités physiques ou mentales dépendraient de machines ? Sommes-nous déjà des « cyborgs » ? La question peut sembler ironique, mais tout dépend de l'angle sous lequel on la traite. Le futur déjà à nos portes Mais où en sommes-nous aujourd'hui exactement ?
