Robo-Guard, Robot Substitute Able to Analyze Behavior Warden Prisoners

A replacement robot prison guards reportedly piloted in one of the prison in Korea. The robot is equipped with a 3D camera and a software that can analyze the behavior of the inmates.

 

This robot name is Robo-Guard. The main task of the Robo-Guard is to notify the head of the prison where there are prisoners who attempted suicide or escape from prison.

The robot can also be controlled via the iPad, so mobile workers no longer need to check the prisoners. Simply sit back and Robo-Guard will provide accurate information about the situation in the prison.

European Scientists Develop Robotic Fish for Monitoring Water Pollution, for $ 31,600 per unit

European Scientists are developing a robotic fish are known to improve the monitoring of water pollution. They lowered the robot from the laboratory into the sea at the port for testing purposes Gijon, Spain.

The researchers claim the robotic fish is capable of detecting pollutants in the sea in a matter of seconds, they usually have to spend many weeks to analyze these pollutants.
 
 

Robot fish that has a length of 1.5 meters was designed specifically to be able to swim like a fish in general, and is equipped with sensors to pick up pollutants leaking from the ship or submarine pipeline.

The robot fish is also equipped with the ability to clean up oil spills, and perform underwater security, surveillance for divers, or find people who drowned.

The robot fish will be tested this week, after passing the test, the robot fish will be mass produced for sale at a price of U.S. $ 31,600 per unit.

ZMP RoboCar Introduces Linux-Based Operating System

Tokyo is aggressively conduct robotics research. Includes a robotics company called ZMP which recently introduced Robocar Linux-based operating system to be used to test the Autonomous Auto Technologies.

Robocar has a size of 17 inches and is bundled with the AMD Geode LX800 as processor, Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, stereo CCD cameras, 8 IR sensor, 3 accelerometer, gyroscope and laser beams. Robocar are in the price range $ 7,000 or about 70 million dollars. Robocar produced quite limited, for this year only produced about 200 units.

Wow, Transformer Robot Now Comes In Real Life!

Remember the thrill of the movie Transformer? The advanced technology in the film had actually been inspired robot researchers in Japan to realize a real transformer robot. Where the robot can change into cars and vice versa. The film is quite phenomenal because it has emerged since a few years ago. But that does not mean it becomes stale to be discussed is not it? Of course this is an interesting thing for us to know, what really is the incarnation of Transformers robots in real life?

Takeshi Maeda who became a pioneer in the development of humanoid robot named OmniZero this, now the robot has entered the stage to 9 times so named OmniZero.9. When we see a glimpse of the picture above, we can see on the shoulders of the robot wheels are mounted, so did the knees robot can be folded in such a way that it can be formed into a red mini car. Although not perfect to say the car, but the robot is able to perform many actions. From walking with two legs, walking with 2 wheels to be able to lift the weight of a man. Well, dashing once ya.

Japanese Researchers Develop Robotic hummingbird Mission To Rescue and Reconnaissance

The development of the robot is able to take a lot of our attention. It's great robot concepts are now created because the point is to help people, easing the job or do a job that can hardly be done by humans.

Not unimaginable that at times of natural disasters such as the earthquake in Padang some time ago that has claimed many lives in which many of the victims could have saved a life lost in vain because it is difficult to know its existence under the pile of rubble that was difficult to track whether there are victims survive or not.

Of course this might be a tough task will be easier if we had a small surveillance robot that can slip in the cracks building.

In Japan, robots are now being developed in the form of a hummingbird which is when you see the size of this bird is very small and weighs less than 1 ounce only. Hummingbird is known to be very small and flexible so it can be rotating in circles, flying to and fro quickly. Some researchers at Chiba University near Tokyo is currently carrying out experiments to make the robot bird in which the robot will be equipped with infrared sensors and cameras.

Approximately nearly 2 million USD, or at least 20 billion dollars have been spent to continue to develop this robot, estimated in the year 2011, robots will be able to fly and can reach dangerous places for a rescue mission to the building or to use as a bird tracker. Hmmm, hopefully this bird robot project come to fruition soon, at least will be very useful for human life course.
