Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 14, 2009On Sol 1845 (April 2, 2009), the rover's robotic arm (IDD) placed the Mossbauer (MB) spectrometer on the outcrop target "Penrhyn" for a multi-sol integration. On Sol 1850 (April 7, 2009), a temporary stand-down on driving was provisionally lifted and Opportunity resumed driving. The MB was retracted and the arm moved into the driving stow position. Opportunity then drove backward about 62. ... more Japan child robot mimicks infant learning 
Suita, Japan (AFP) April 5, 2009A bald, child-like creature dangles its legs from a chair as its shoulders rise and fall with rythmic breathing and its black eyes follow movements across the room. It's not human - but it is paying attention. Below the soft silicon skin of one of Japan's most sophisticated robots, processors record and evaluate information. The 130-cm (four-foot, four-inch) humanoid is designed to lear ... more GeckoSystems Ready For Explosive Growth In Personal Robots
Conyers GA (SPX) Apr 07, 2009GeckoSystems has announced that their multi-tasking personal robot product, the CareBot MSR, satisfies the requirements indicated by ABI Research to penetrate this growing marketplace. The report from ABI Research is predicting that by the year 2015, people will probably be willing to spend as much for a multi-tasking humanoid robot as they would for a new car. "Within six years, the ... more Altair Software Helps Students Reshape Their Robots And Their Lives 
Troy MI (SPX) Apr 07, 2009Fifteen students at a Seattle-area high school are using Altair Engineering's OptiStruct software to help build robots for the national FIRST Robotics competition; but, to their amazement, the real prizes they have won have been improved social skills, a passion for teamwork and a newfound love of engineering. The team from Jackson High School in Mill Creek, Wash., worked with their career ... more |

Tokyo (AFP) March 31, 2009Japan's Honda said Tuesday it had developed a robot steered by human thought, thanks to a helmet-like device that measures a person's brain activity and sends signals to the machine. The latest version of ASIMO - the celebrity robot of Honda Motor Co. that can already dance, run and guide guests through an office floor - has now been fitted with a so-called "brain machine interface" (BMI), ... more Mars Rovers Powering On After 5 years 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Mar 27, 2009In January 2004, NASA landed two identical robotic rovers named Spirit and Opportunity on the surface of Mars. The twins were primed for a brief 3-month mission to tell us a story of water and possibly life itself in the planet's past. More than five years later, the dynamic duo are still roving the Red Planet, engaged in a saga of overachievement that has transformed Mars exploration. ... more Opportunity At Outcrop - Endeavour In Sight - Sol 1824-1831 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Mar 26, 2009Opportunity has positioned itself at an exposed rock outcrop and is in the middle of an "in situ" (contact) science campaign with the robotic arm (IDD). Because of the project team's desire to rest the right-front wheel actuator and to limit driving while an earlier drive sequence error is remedied, Opportunity took advantage of the nearby rock outcrop. This fits with the strategic science ... more British-built robotic fish to detect pollution 
London (AFP) March 19, 2009A shoal of robotic fish which can detect pollution in the water are set to released into the sea off Spain, British scientists said Thursday. The fish, which are some 1.5 metres long and resemble carp, will be fitted with detectors which can identify the sources of pollution, such as ship fuel or chemicals in the water. Five of the robots, worth some 20,000 pounds (21,000 euros, 29,000 ... more Fashion robot to hit Japan catwalk 
Tsukuba, Japan (AFP) March 16, 2009Japanese researchers on Monday showed off a robot that will soon strut her stuff down a Tokyo catwalk. The girlie-faced humanoid with slightly oversized eyes, a tiny nose and shoulder-length hair boasts 42 motion motors programmed to mimic the movements of flesh-and-blood fashion models. "Hello everybody, I am cybernetic human HRP-4C," said the futuristic fashionista, opening her media p ... more |
