At Tohoku University, there's now a robot that teaches dance. But the goal isn't to put human dance teachers out of work -- instead, scientists are using the project to gather information on how humans can get comfortably close with with robots. If we're going to spending a lot of time with robots in the future, might as well make it easier.

Gust MEES's insight:

Japanese engineers unveiled on Wednesday (April 25) a robot that transforms into a car that can actually carry people on board, in what they said was the first-ever such accomplishment in the history of robots.

The 3.7-metre (12.1-feet)-tall two-seater robot "J-deite RIDE" can transform into a sportscar in a process that takes about a minute. It can technically walk at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) or run on its four wheels but developers said they've never really tested it outside the factory cargo bay area.

CEO of Brave Robotics, Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec, an affiliate of the Japanese mobile phone giant SoftBank, and a roller coaster manufacturer Sansei Technologies, said he was motivated by his childhood transformer heroes in anime movies.

While admitting that it may seem like an expensive toy, Ishida said the robot is an attempt to inspire others and broaden the human imagination. Developers said they will begin with utilizing the technology in entertainment industry, such as amusement park and street parades.

Deux fois moins cher que son concurrent principal nommé ReWalk, l’exosquelette Phoenix se distingue également par ses meilleures performances et son faible encombrement. Assurant le maintien des membres inférieurs de son propriétaire, celui-ci peut alors se déplacer debout à l’aide de béquilles à une vitesse d’environ 2 km/h et ainsi offrir la sensation de remarcher à son utilisateur.

Gust MEES's insight:

A group of Toyota engineers was inspired by the Japanese manga about basketball and in its free time built a robot that can throw the ideal three-pointer into the basket. After the robot was tested and finalized, the Japanese arranged a test for their pupils - a match with professional basketball players. And he won all.

It is claimed that the robot basketball player was trained with AI, but on video, his behavior looks much simpler: he rolls on wheels and repeats the same movements again and again.
However, this uncomplicated and uncreative behavior was enough to defeat several players from the professional league. The robot is simply more consistent and regular in its actions. To win, it is enough just to make fewer mistakes than a person.

From www.wired.com - May 29, 2015 4:02 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

WHEN YOU COMBINE robots and cheetahs with military funding, you’re bound to end up with something incredible. Robotics engineers from MIT have spent over five years developing a battery-powered quadruped robot capable of running as fast as a human being. And now they’ve trained that robot to jump over hurdles—autonomously.

In a video released today, the team from MIT shows off their DARPA-funded, four-legged harbinger of terror approaching and clearing obstacles up to 18 inches tall while maintaing an average speed of 5 mph. The 70-lb robot (roughly the same weight as a female cheetah) estimates the height, size, and distance of objects in its path, and adjusts its approach to prepare a jump and safe landing—all without slowing down.

Here we see IHMC Robotics performing a simple maneuver with an ATLAS robot where the programmers sent a single footstep plan to the humanoid. Using its onboard sensors and artificial balance, ATLAS is able to repeatedly climb up and down a small pile of cinderblocks without tumbling. It's a task even a toddler could handle, and ATLAS is roughly on the same development cycle. Except that toddlers aren't physically capable of picking up said cinderblocks and throwing them around a room. [IHMC Robotics via IEEE Spectrum]
