Humanoid Robot Justin Learning To Fix Satellites Justin is a dexterous humanoid robot that can make coffee. Now it's learning to fix satellites. Justin was developed at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), in Wessling, Germany. The robot has different configurations, including one with wheels. The space version has a head, torso, and arms, but no wheels or legs, because it will be mounted on a spacecraft or satellite. The goal is to use Justin to repair or refuel satellites that need to be serviced. But that's a long-term goal. Justin's head has two cameras, used for stereoscopic vision, which means the operator can get a sense of depth when manipulating the arms. Watch the video to see a reporter operating the robot, which, he quips, probably "costs much more than what I can earn my entire life."
Les robots humanoïdes Il y a les androïdes, des robots spécialisés pour remplacer l'homme dans une tâche précise et répétitive, les robots jouets que l'on peut programmer, et les robots expérimentaux pour remplacer l'homme dans des environnement dangereux ou inaccessibles. Ils prennent la forme humanoïdes pour être plus proches de nous. La plupart sont ou seront commercialisés et feront bientôt partie du paysage.

DICK PARTY: Kyrou, Thiellement, Dionnet. - Arts & Spectacles Par François Angelier Réalisation: Laurent Paulré "Avec Edgar Poe et Lovecraft, Philip K. En seconde partie d'émission, sera traitée la place de Dick dans le cinéma de science-fiction, ce au travers d'oeuvres emblématiques : Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority report ; d'autres films d'inspiration dickienne De nous deux, qui est l'autre ?." Avec la collaboration de : Jean Pierre Dionnet, Jean-Baptiste Thoret, Pacôme Thiellement, Marie-Andrée de Saint-André. L'encyclopédie des mauvais genres de Céline Du Chéné: Pierre Guillois Gostai Jazz Telepresence Robot Unveiled French robotics company Gostai is unveiling today a mobile robot called Jazz designed for "telepresence and telesurveillance." The waist-high robot, which a user can remote control using a web-based interface, rolls on two wheels and has a head that can move in any direction, with a camera stuck on its forehead. The price starts at 7900 euros. This is the first time that the Paris-based company, known for its robotics software, ventures into hardware. Jean-Christophe Baillie, founder and CEO of Gostai, tells me that they built the robot "very quickly," relying on the experience they gained by interacting with robot manufacturers that use their software. "This is a little revolution for Gostai," he says, "and we are very excited about the potential of this little guy!" I've tested a couple of telepresence robots this year [see our special report on robotic telepresence] and look forward to driving the Jazz as well. Another interesting thing is that its head can turn in any direction.
Archives H+ Magazine #01 – Juillet / Août 2015 Contrairement aux idées reçues, les technologies émergentes ne déshumanisent nullement la société. Tout au contraire, elles rapprochent les humains en faisant profondément évoluer les rapports sociaux. Internet et les objets connectés bouleversent les habitudes et les makers bouleversent la donne avec l’émergence de communautés et surtout la mise en commun des fichiers « open source ». Autre exemple des progrès phénoménaux faits par les robots, cet incroyable concours lancé par la DARPA pour lequel se sont affrontés les meilleures équipes de roboticiens du monde entier.

Robot Actress More news about Geminoid F, the ultrarealistic android unveiled early this year: the robot got a job. Geminoid F is working as an actress, taking the stage in a play that opened yesterday in a Tokyo theater. In the 20-minute play, titled "Sayonara" ("good bye" in Japanese), the android shares the stage with another actress (of the human kind) named Bryerly Long. Long plays the role of a young woman who is suffering from a fatal illness and whose parents bring her an android to serve as a companion. A human operator controls the robot from a soundproof chamber behind the stage. The robot is in a permanent sitting posture, so movements are limited to the head, torso, and arms. Geminoid F is a creation of Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University and researcher at ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication Laboratories. The "Android-Human Theater" project is a collaboration between Ishiguro and Japanese director Oriza Hirata, who writes and directs. Would you go watch the play?
Artificial Intelligence for Humans, Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms: Jeff Heaton: 9781493682225: Amazon.com: Books Humanoid Robot Dance Japanese roboticists recently showed off a female android singing and dancing along with a troupe of human performers. Video of the entertaining and surprisingly realistic demonstration received went viral on the Net. How did they do it? To find out, I spoke to Dr. Kazuhito Yokoi, leader of the Humanoid Research Group at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, known as AIST. The secret behind the dance routine, Dr. The hardware, of course, plays a key role. But now the biggest innovation is a new software to program the movements of the robot. So by editing a relatively small number of key poses you can compose complex whole-body motion trajectories. The software developed at AIST to create sequences of movements. The software verifies that the robot can indeed perform the transitions from one pose to the next. The software also monitors the robot’s stability. Here's a video showing how the software works: Dr. Here’s my full interview with Dr. KY: No.
Handiii : un bras bionique qui se connecte au smartphone NASA Ready to Send Humanoid Robot to Space In one giant leap for robotkind, NASA will send the world’s first humanoid robot to space later this year. The humanoid, called Robonaut 2 or R2, is set to launch on space shuttle Discovery on 1 November, 2010, and travel to the International Space Station, where it will become a permanent resident and work alongside humans as a robotic helper. The Robonaut features dexterous arms and hands that can manipulate objects and tools just like humans do. The main goal is to find out how manipulation robots behave in space -- and also give crew members a second pair of hands. "It’s the first time ever in the history of the planet that we’ve decided to launch a humanoid robot into space," says Nic Radford, the Robonaut deputy project manager. The robot can perform tasks autonomously or under remote control, or a mix of both. Most of the time the robot will receive instructions designating a task and carry it through autonomously. And why a human-shaped robot? Here's an overview of the project:
