The Robot Prison Guards will monitor prisoners behavior, independently found signs of suicidal behavior or evidence of beatings. Of course, the guards did not lose control over the territory entrusted, just the most “striking” incident they will be notified in advance.

All data from the robot guards will be displayed on a single control center, and work in real time with two-way communication. This robot has a built-in speaker and microphone, which means that guards control center can communicate with the prisoners, this will solve many problems without personal contact, saving time and effort on both sides. The machine has a height of about 150 cm and weight 70-80 kg. The first to be built just three copies of this robot, they will be placed in jail in Pohang, the test will take about a month, and they start around March next year. At the end of the experiment the state Department of Justice will decide on future projects.

However, despite the fact that many of the humanoid robot called human-or, in reality they are like us only vaguely. However small team of scientists achieved a breakthrough of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) with his trademark wards robot HRP-4C, which already was very similar to human, or rather a pretty girl.

With Advancement of intelligence capability technology, ASIMO became capable of responding to the movement of people and also the surrounding situations. For example, ASIMO will stop its current action and change its behavior to accommodate the intention of the other party. Moreover, coordination between visual and auditory sensors grants ASIMO to simultaneously recognize a face and voice, making it possible for ASIMO to identify the voices of a number of people who are speaking simultaneously, that is hard even for a human being to accomplish.

The new ASIMO robot performs much better movement with advancement in physical capability. The mixture of strengthened legs, an expanded range of leg movement and a newly developed control technology that enables ASIMO to change landing positions in the middle of a motion has enabled ASIMO to walk, run, run backward, hop on one leg or on two legs continuously. Because of acquiring the capability to provide such agile motions, ASIMO has become capable of more flexibly adapting to changing external scenarios to that it could, for example, walk over an uneven surface while keeping a stable posture.

The ASIMO robot also has improvement in task-performing capability. Honda has developed a really functional compact multi-fingered hand, which has a tactile sensor as well as a force sensor imbedded on the palm and in each finger, respectively, and which acts to control each finger independently. Combined using the object recognition technology based on visual and tactile senses, this multi-fingered hand enables the all-new ASIMO to conduct tasks with dexterity, like picking up a glass bottle and twisting off the cap, or holding a soft paper cup to pour a liquid without having squishing it.

Press release: Honda Unveils New ASIMO Robot.

Video clip of 1982 for the song «Rio» of Duran Duran took first place.A “bronze” medal is an animated video «Take On Me» Group A-HA, where Morten Harket cartoon character turns into a living person. Pop legend repeatedly voted the best music videos of all time from various surveys «Thriller» Michael Jackson won the vote in fourth place at this time. Then they settled for a surreal clip «Svefn-g-Englar» Icelandic group Sigur Ros (5th place), the classic «Smells Like Teen Spirit» Nirvana performed and extras (6th) and the enigmatic «Just» Radiohead (7 – position). Ten closed the «Virtual Insanity» Jamiroquai, scandalous video «Like A Prayer» Madonna and humorous video for the song «Here It Goes Again» American indie band OK GO.

Participated in the voting of more than 40 thousand people MTV. Clip «All Is Full of Love» was filmed by producer Chris Cunningham (Chris Cunningham) in 1999. Bjork All Is Full of Love Source: intermedia2.ru

Watch the video… A lot of robots are able to fly — but none of them are able to fly like a real bird. That could be, until finally Markus Fischer and his crew at Festo constructed SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings. A soaring demo fresh from TEDGlobal 2011.

SmartBird is an ultralight but highly effective flight model with fantastic aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds – one of the oldest dreams of humankind.

This bionic technology-bearer, that is inspired by the herring gull, can get started, fly and land autonomously – with no extra drive mechanism. Its wings not just beat up and down, but additionally twist at precise angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in mixture using a complicated control technique attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the very first time in making an energy-efficient practical adaptation of this model from nature.

Robot made by Hiroko Tanaka from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Isao Shimoyama from Capital University, Tokyo created similar to natural model. Their wings are designed  naturally, have a similar shape and structure.

As a robot model, the scientists chose the Swallowtail butterfly family. This butterfly are ideal for their particular physical structure build: Their wings are larger compared to its body.

By using a robot that was filmed with high speed camera while flying, the researchers were able to verify that the swallowtail butterfly can actually fly with a very simple mechanism. Other butterflies, as their ratio of body weight to wing is unfavorable, must rely on more complex mechanisms in order to move in the air, such as changing the angle of the wing. Tanaka and Shimoyama want to find ways to  use this model for various aerodynamic systems.

Swallowtail butterfly, which includes among other local swallowtail, is one of the largest butterflies. Queen Alexandra Birdwing  family has the largest butterfly : The female can have a  about 25 cm wingspan.
Robotics machine models are often inspired by nature. They have been called a mini flying robot (Micro-Aerial Vehicle, MAV) which is designed to resemble a dragonfly or a bat. While the MAVs were developed for a lot of research, to learn about the handling characteristics, while others are intended for military purposes such as urban warfare.

A QUANTEC automatic robot collection can perform running a whole higher payload models between 90 to 300 kilograms along with are as long as 3,100 millimeters. You will discover completely 15 robots for the QUANTEC models. A automatic robot product could be chosen using the needs on the motion guide. A KR C4 controller will be based upon a totally brand-new, obviously created and simply easy to understand structures. All the architecture comes with one common data base and also infrastructure for all of the designed control modules. This modules communicating with one another via this data base. The QUANTEC models by KUKA can perform managing several features which are completed around the wooden sector using its adaptable, energy-efficient and also personalized options. Around the wooden sector, the events associated with machine-human relationship are many and KUKA robots guarantee owner safety in every kinds of interactions.
