NAO Production Training - SEXY ROBOTS VIDEOS - ROBORAMA.INFO
Project Nao, launched in early 2005, aims to make available to the public, at an affordable price, a humanoid robot with mechanical, electronic, and cognitive features, based on those of the prototype.
A watershed for the company as we start mass-producing Nao for the RoboCupers. It is really exciting to see them take shape before our very eyes. We can't wait to see them amble around Aldebaran's offices.
This phase, albeit initially intended for the RoboCupers, announces the arrival of Nao with you...
Bruno Maisonnier, Aldebaran Robotics' President and Founder
At last it's official! Nao is now in production. 32 Naos are literally being put on their feet in our premises and will soon meet their satisfied owners. The 16 teams are taking part in the 2008 Standard RoboCup league (from July 15th to 20th) in Suzhou in China. This initial shipment of 2 robots per team will be followed by an equivalent one late next May.
This version of Nao has allowed us assessing how much progress we have made these past months, particularly in its mechanics and electronics: the actuators are much quieter and more flexible.
Nao is now more sure-footed and totally self-propelling, thanks to the addition of its battery pack. As for its look, the standard of finish is virtually that of the finished product.
The interactive part is also being constantly improved: for instance, we managed to play Granny's footsteps with its vision system! (The camera is capable of detecting the slightest movement in its field of vision). Here is a video of the assembly line and Nao learning to walk.
Aldebaran Robotics raised 5 million euros from CDC Innovation and I-source Gestion on 10 January 2008, good news for the Aldebaran Robotics venture!
Among other things, these funds will be used to boost manpower, improve development and proceed with the industrialization stage.
Apart from its functional aspects, this influx of funds is another mark of investor confidence in Nao's future.

NAO Humanoid Robot - SEXY ROBOTS VIDEOS - ROBORAMA.INFO
Project Nao, launched in early 2005, aims to make available to the public, at an affordable price, a humanoid robot with mechanical, electronic, and cognitive features, based on those of the prototype (see graphic below).
Initially, delivered with basic behaviors, the robot will be, at its market introduction, the ideal introduction to robots. Eventually, with many improved behaviors, it will become an autonomous family companion. Finally, with more sophisticated functions, it will adopt a new role, assisting with daily tasks (monitoring, etc.)
Featured with an intuitive programming interface, the entire family will be able to enjoy the robot experience. Yet, full of new technologies, our robot will also satisfy the demanding techno-addict's expectations.
Designed for entertainment purposes, our robot will be able to interact with its owner, with evolving behaviors and functionalities. Additionally, the user will be able to teach the robot new behaviors using a computer with Wi-Fi connectivity. The behaviours creating software is designed to fit with any users levels : from graphical blocs editing for beginners to code for more skilled users. The possible behaviors are limited only by your imagination !
With a conviction that design is key to successful adoption in a home environment, we have partnered with a Parisian design school, particularly with designers Thomas Knoll and Erik Arlen. The robot's hull will include customizable features, allowing each to have a unique appearance.
The robot is based on a Linux platform and scripted with Urbi, an easy-to-learn programming language, with the option of a graphic interface for beginners or code commands for experts.
Currently in the final phase of development, the first Nao has been presented early 2007. The first units, dedicated to laboratories an universities will for sale early 2008, and the general public release is planned for the end of 2008.

Researcher Daan Hobbelen of TU Delft has developed a new, highly-advanced walking robot: Flame. This type of research, for which Hobbelen will receive his PhD on Friday 30 May, is important as it provides insight into how people walk. This can in turn help people with walking difficulties through improved diagnoses, training and rehabilitation equipment.
TU Delft is a pioneer of the other method used for constructing walking robots, based on the way humans walk. This is really very similar to falling forward in a controlled fashion. Adopting this method replaces the cautious, rigid way in which robots walk with the more fluid, energy-efficient movement used by humans.
PhD student Daan Hobbelen has demonstrated for the first time that a robot can be both energy-efficient and highly stable. His breakthrough came in inventing a suitable method for measuring the stability of the way people walk for the first time. This is remarkable, as 'falling forward' is traditionally viewed as an unstable movement.
Modelling the walking process allows researchers to construct two-legged robots which walk more naturally. More insight into the walking process can in turn help people with walking difficulties, for example through improved diagnoses, training and rehabilitation equipment. TU Delft is working on this together with motion scientists at VU University Amsterdam.
Hobbelen cites ankles as an example. These joints are a type of spring which can be used to define the best level of elasticity. Research conducted by Hobbelen into Flame's ankles has provided motion scientists with more insight into this topic.

Festo, has developed a graceful robot inspired by a creature of the sea. In fact, they have developed two versions, both based on the common jellyfish: the AquaJelly and the AirJelly. According to Festo, the AquaJelly is "an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system." Apparently the idea is to have several of the robots autonomously working together using a communication system composed of Zigbee short-range radio on the surface and LEDs when underwater.
As for the AirJelly, this remote controlled device can glide through the air using a helium-filled ballonet, a central electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system. Apparently, this design offers "fascinating possibilities for "lighter-than-air" aviation." I'm not sure about all of that, but I can at see how the technology behind the AquaJelly could have some practical application on complex underwater projects.

The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal's, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.
BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog's control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others.
In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load.
BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with the goal of creating robots that have rough-terrain mobility that can take them anywhere on Earth that people and animals can go. The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

GO TO http://www.sexy-robots-videos.com and http://ROBORAMA.info for more life-like robots information, videos and photos.
The Osaka-based Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (ATR) has developed a crowd-monitoring humanoid robot that recognizes when people are lost and helps them find their way.
In a series of demonstrations conducted from January 22 to 24, a souped-up version of ATR's Robovie humanoid robot monitored people as they passed through a 100 square meter (1,076 sq ft) section of the Universal Citywalk Osaka shopping center. Relying on data from 16 cameras, 6 laser range finders and 9 RFID tag readers installed in and around the area, the robot was able to watch up to 20 people at a time, pinpoint their locations to within a few centimeters, and classify each individual's behavior into one of 10 categories (waiting, wandering, walking fast, running, etc.).
Robovie -- Whenever Robovie spotted people who looked disoriented, the child-sized droid wheeled up to them and asked, "Are you lost?" If so, the robot provided simple directions to the destination and pointed the way. If not, the robot proceeded to recommend nearby shops and restaurants.
ATR says the Robovie test is the first in a long series of robot-related demonstrations to be conducted at Universal Citywalk Osaka. This week, the company announced it was establishing a permanent base in the shopping center, which will serve as a real-world environment for testing new robot-oriented business ideas. In June, the company plans to start hiring out its machines to companies toying with the idea of employing robots.

1. A baby Harp seal
Paro is modeled after a baby harp seal, which can be found at Madeleine Island, in the north-eastern part of Canada. Paro's biological research video in 2002
2. Why is Paro modeled after a baby harp seal?
Robots can be divided into four categories according to their appearance:
1) Human-like,
2) Familiar animals as pets, such as dogs and cats,
3) Non-familiar animals as pets, such as seals, penguins, and whales,
4) New characters and artificial animals.
While designing a robot's appearance, it is very important to keep in mind our everyday experiences and knowledge. When we see a humanoid robot, we expect the robots to run, jump, and work like human beings. Although humanoid robots are very technologically advanced, they cannot act exactly like human beings. Once initial expectations are not satisfied, users can be disappointed with robots and eventually lose interest in interacting with them.
The same idea applies to robots that look like familiar animals, such as dogs and cats. Once again, it is very difficult to make robots behave and seem exactly like real animals. Previously, we created a dog-like and a cat-like robot, which were then evaluated by users. In the case of the dog-robot, people did not recognize it as a dog because it was too mechanical. As for the cat, its very cat-like appearance initially led people to give it a high evaluation, exclaiming "It is like a real cat!" However, as people continued playing with the cat-robot, their evaluation decreased. Since cats are familiar animals to many people, they tended to compare the robot with the real cat. Their opinions changed to things like "This robot is different from my cat!" or "My cat is softer than this robot!" The differences between real cats and the cat-robot became a source of disappointment.
New characters and artificial animals can be very meaningful for those who have an interest in such things, but also run the risk of having no meaning for others. Whether these kinds of robots can be accepted or not depends on the different interests people have.
As for non-familiar animals, we can assume that most people have never had a seal, penguin, or whale as pets, but know something about them. From our experiences, we have found that people are generally interested in interacting with robots modeled after non-familiar animals. Especially, Paro, our seal-like robot, has received high evaluations, such as "Cute! Cute!." We have seen people develop an emotional attachment to Paro as they interact with it. Paro is easily accepted by many people as a partner, without being compared with a real seal.

John Stone decided one of those new year resolutions, getting fit. This video is the 371 first days of his physique transformation challenge.
Why I got started...
I started my program because I was tired of being fat, unhealthy and out of shape. In high school I was an athlete, I was in great shape and I was healthy & confident. I stayed that way until I was in my mid-twenties, but over the last 10 years I let it all go. I became lazy, fat, unhealthy, antisocial, and I lost all my self-confidence. Late last year, I decided it was time to make some major changes. I decided that I was not going to continue to live my life feeling miserable and disgusted with myself. I did a lot of soul-searching and made a list of all the things I wanted to change. At the top of the list was my health and personal appearance. So, without wasting any more time, I began to educate myself, I set some goals and I made a plan. On January 6th, 2003 I put everything in motion.

Stickybot is an embodiment of hypotheses about the requirements for mobility on vertical surfaces using dry adhesion: the main point being that what is needed is not more adhesion but controllable adhesion.
The essential ingredients are:
* hierarchical compliance for conforming at centimeter, millimeter and micrometer scales,
* anisotropic dry adhesive materials and structures so that we can control adhesion by controlling shear,
* distributed active force control that works with compliance and anisotropy to achieve stability.
