- RiSE is a small six-legged robot that climbs vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences. RiSE's feet have claws, micro-claws or sticky material, depending on the climbing surface. RiSE changes posture to conform to the curvature of the climbing surface and a fixed tail helps RiSE balance on steep ascents. RiSE is about 0.25 m long, weighs 2 kg, and travels 0.3 m/s.
Each of RiSE's six legs is powered by two electric motors. An onboard computer controls leg motion, manages communications, and services a variety of sensors. The sensors include an inertial measurement unit, joint position sensors for each leg, leg strain sensors and foot contact sensors.
Future versions of RiSE will use dry adhesion to climb sheer vertical surfaces such as glass and metal. RiSE is being developed in conjunction with researchers at University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Stanford, and Lewis and Clark University. RiSE is funded by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office.

The Legged Learning Robot
LittleDog is a quadruped robot for research on learning locomotion. Scientists at leading institutions use LittleDog to probe the fundamental relationships among motor learning, dynamic control, perception of the environment, and rough terrain locomotion.
LittleDog has four legs, each powered by three electric motors. The legs have a large range of motion and workspace. The motors are strong enough for dynamic locomotion, including climbing. The onboard PC-level computer does sensing, actuator control and communications. LittleDog's sensors measure joint angles, motor currents, body orientation and foot/ground contact. Control programs access the robot through the Boston Dynamics Robot API. Onboard lithium polymer batteries allow for 30 minutes of continuous operation without recharging. Wireless communications and data logging support remote operation and analysis. LittleDog development is funded by the DARPA Information Processing Technology Office.

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.

If you think "Pleo" is just a robotic pet then inventor Caleb Chung will tell you that he thinks Pleo is a designer life-form: on the outside, everything about the one-week-old Camarasaurus is very unrobotic. The movements are fluid and its actions are spontaneous and unprogrammed. The skin is smooth, seamless and stretchy. Inside, it's another story: the 3.3-pound Pleo is very robotic indeed. It has 38 sensors to detect light, motion, touch and sound. They feed information about Pleo's environment to one of eight processors that can handle a collective 60 million calculations per second, that's quite a lot! A complex computer program determines what the dino does next—howl over the edge of a table, sneeze, crane its neck around 180 degrees to see who's scratching its back, or any of thousands of other possibilities. The software is upgradable as the manufacturer Ugobe (California, USA) develops more sophisticated personality coding, either via its SD-card slot or from the Web through its USB port.

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.
So far, BigDog has trotted at 3.3 mph, climbed a 35 degree slope and carried a 120 lb load.

The Rugged Robot that Devours Rough Terrain
RHex is a man-portable robot with extraordinary rough terrain mobility. RHex climbs over rock fields, mud, sand, vegetation, railroad tracks, telephone poles and up steep slopes and stairways. RHex has a sealed body, making it fully operational in wet weather, in muddy and swampy conditions, and it can swim on the surface or dive underwater. RHex's remarkable terrain capabilities have been validated in independent testing at US Government Labs.
RHex is controlled remotely from an operator control unit at distances up to 600 meters. A video uplink provides front and rear views from RHex's onboard cameras. RHex also uplinks navigational data from onboard compass and GPS and from payload sensors. A downlink allows the operator to control mobility and to operate mission payloads.

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.

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.

| | Babybot grasping objects - ROBORAMA.info - 309 sec
The robot starts by looking at an object that is placed on its palm; after a brief exploration the object is dropped on the table and the robot starts searching for it. Once the object is fixated again, the robot actively grasps it. If the grasp is successful the object is dropped off the table, otherwise another trial is attempted (this work has been carried out in collaboration with Paul Fitzpatrick, MIT CSAIL).
The Babybot is the LIRA-Lab humanoid robot. The latest version has eighteen degrees of freedom distributed along the head, arm, torso, and hand. The head and hand were custom designed at the lab. The arm is an off-the-shelf small PUMA manipulator and it is mounted on a rotating torso. The Babybot's sensory system is composed of a pair of cameras with space-variant resolution, two microphones each mounted inside an external ear, a set of three gyroscopes mimicking the human vestibular system, positional encoders at each joint, a torque/forse sensor at the wrist and tactile sensors at the fingertips and the palm.
The one you see in the picture above is the latest realization of the Babybot, a project started in 1996 at LIRA-Lab. The hardware itself went through many revisions so there's not much remaining of the mechanics of the first Babybot beside the PUMA arm.
Our scientific goal is that of uncovering the mechanisms of the functioning of the brain by building physical models of the neural control and cognitive structures. In our intendment physical model are embodied artificial systems that freely interact in a not too unconstrained environment. Also, our approach derives from studies of human sensorimotor and cognitive development with the aim of investigating if a developmental approach to building intelligent systems may offer new insight on aspects of human behavior and new tools for the implementation of complex, artificial systems.
Examples of the behaviors we implemented include (but not only) the control of eye movements such as vergence, saccades, and vestibulo-ocular reflex. We've been working on the integration of different sensory modalities as for example vestibular and visual cues, or acoustic perception with vision. We implemented reaching behavior as a means to physically interact with the external environment to discover about the properties of objects.

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.
