Murata Boy Robot

Last October of 2005 One of the many interesting displays at CEATAC was the Murata Boy Robot they call it the bicycling robot, Better look at this robot and be amazed on what he can actually do on his bike, that average people can’t hardly do. It could actually ride a bicycle and balance its body on the bike without any support, just the two wheels of the bike, isn’t amazing he don’t need to practice at all and spend so many days and suffer from falling like an average human can do, see how technology can do? How can Murata Boy balance on the bike and not falling? Because it has Angle detection, they call it "Gyro sensor" it detects the slant angle during the run and the bicycle is steered using the signal sent from the gyro sensor. By arbitrarily controlling the rotation of flywheel inside torso, it maintains balance without falling when running and stopping. That's not all it certainly packs in the functionality, being capable of speeds up to 60cm/sec or 2 km/hour standing upright without falling, obstacle detection, running backwards, running a predetermined course while monitoring his position, receiving instructions wirelessly and capturing and sending images to its PC master wirelessly, Murata Boy was built entirely with standard Murata products such as gyroscopic, ultrasonic, and shock sensors and motion control, battery, imaging, and communication modules and not knowing that it is just a small robot but it almost got every thing it needs.

Female Humanoid Robot...

Have you ever thought of the people who have imaginary friends? I’m pretty sure that somehow it scares you a lot. But what if you have a friend not knowing that he/she is not a human, and then eventually you found out? Well, what do I mean then? Have you ever heard of Actroid DER2 fembot? Well, I’ve watched the video of it a couple of days ago at first I was amazed because it really looks like a real female human it is almost perfect, sexy body, pretty face, flawless skin, long legs. It talks and it moves like a real human and if you do not know that it is a robot you might think it is a real woman.



Japan was indeed, brilliant in inventing something and has a high knowledge about technology, and I admired Japan for that. The country really has a big impact to the World’s technology. But you know what? As I continue watching the video a part of me was so freaked out, yes it is a brilliant invention and discovery. But what if it is really widely used in the world? Imagine this; this so called robot will be used to work as a receptionist, instead of a real female human. A sales lady, business woman, dentist, doctor and so many more will be a robot instead of a human. It is really freaky right?



These robots will be a big help for some people and employer. Why? If the business minded people will purchase this robots for their business. They will have an employee without pay or salary every month, and it will only do whatever you told them to do and no mistakes will be committed. But what about the people who wanted to work and who are to be replaced by this robot, how will they earned money? What will be the status of their living? Imagine the world with robots around you, numerous numbers of them, it is really scary right?
Sometimes the knowledge and intelligence of the people will be a threat for the downfall of man. As with my question above, what if you have a friend that is a robot? What will you feel? A robot that cannot sympathize you whenever you have a problem, a robot without feelings,and can only give a concrete solution based on its knowledge to your problems, not on its feelings and experiences. At first people will be amazed when they watched this video but come to think of its consequences when it is widely introduced to the world. I post some video of the Actroid DER2 fembot? Watch it and enjoy!!!

Sony QRIO

Small things comes is Big packages,.

The robot, called QRIO short for Quest for Curiosity Sony QRIO is 58 centimeters tall and weighing seven kilograms, QRIO has big blue eyes and is covered in gleaming magnesium alloy. It may look like a toy, but its small body is packed with technology.

Sony QRIO can walk, climb up in the stairs and come down, and did you know that QRIO is a great dancer! Its cameras, sensors, and computer software also allow it to avoid obstacles, It can also remember names and faces, keep up a conversation, best of all it can sing better than Me, QRIO can sing vibrato voice.

Simple human actions are very difficult to reproduce in a robot. Getting a robot to walk was one of the first and biggest challenges for robot scientists. Like Honda Asimo they have alot of fixing error to do before the robots can walk probably that's the biggest challenges they have to face,. Walking is a delicate balancing act in which the body's center of gravity is constantly shifting as each foot is placed forward.Engineers solved the problem of getting a robot to walk using the Zero Moment Point rule. Sole sensors and positioning sensors fitted to the robot are used to calculate stable points of contact with the ground.

But that is the easiest part, How about running?
Now imagine running. When we run, there are times when both our feet are in the air. But having both feet in the air makes it impossible for a robot to gather data from the sensors on the soles of its feet, as it would if it was walking. Sony engineers overcame this challenge by developing new motion control mechanisms and improving the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the robot's computer.

Sony QRIO Pictures

What else can it do?

Sony is really making small things comes with better future,. Japan is doing a great job in doing advance robot like QRIO but still Sony QRIO needs a lot of improvement to get it up to speed. But let us see what Sony can do in the near future.

Honda Asimo, Cool hi-tech robot...

In 1986, Honda engineers set out to create a walking robot. Early models (E1, E2, E3) focused on developing legs that could simulate the walk of a human. The next series of models (E4, E5, E6) were focused on walk stabilization and stair climbing. Next, a head, body and arms were added to the robot to improve balance and add functionality. Honda’s first humanoid robot, P1 was rather rugged at 6’ 2” tall, and 386 lbs. P2 improved with a more friendly design, improved walking, stair climbing/descending, and wireless automatic movements. The P3 model was even more compact, standing 5’ 2” tall and weighing 287 lbs.

About Honda Asimo...

Is the world’s most advanced humanoid robot, with the ability to climb stairs, walk forward and backward, turn smoothly without pausing, and maintain balance, even while walking on uneven slopes and surfaces. Honda engineers began developing a humanoid robot in 1986 for the purpose of someday helping people in need. After years of research and development, they created an advanced humanoid robot able to function in real-world environments. ASIMO has two arms and two hands, which ease such tasks as reaching for and grasping objects, switching lights on and off, or opening and closing doors.



ASIMO made its U.S. debut February 14, 2002, when it rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.’s listing on the NYSE. ASIMO has since completed two national tours in which the robot was demonstrated for more than 130,000 people at top science and technology museums and engineering and computer science universities across North America. Learn more about ASIMO at asimo.honda.com.



Little mistake about Asimo
Better watch this video,.
Asimo falls down...



Asimo falls down again...



Ok we know that Asimo is the most advance robot ever made,.
but it has a manor problem i think they need to improve the sensor of Asimo couse it always fall when steping on stairs probably they need to put sensor on how to calculate every step, Maybe the one reason also is Asimo is still a remote controlled robot and it is very hard controlling it...






Bye Guys,.
See You in
the near Future...
