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.

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.

SmartBird Festo Robot Capable Seagull Original Fly Like Birds

Surprising to see the existing technological innovations on which SmartBird robot bird that can fly at almost exactly the movement of the birds and the original model of this bird has excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility as a normal bird. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in the author describes the ability of birds flying into the technology that we can use.

 Robot bird brings bionic technology, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start flying from the ground independently - with no additional drive mechanism.

Wings not only move up and down, but also rotating at a certain angle. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system achieve efficiency levels unprecedented in aviation operations. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of the model of nature.

This robot has a carbon fiber materials and control electronics are closely denganb only 0.4 kilograms. Festo has demonstrated technology that illustrates how advanced robots can fly: SmartBird aerodynamically very efficient, even turning his head like real gulls do to perform aerobatics movements.

But if you think about the larger implications of robots, the possibility is quite astonishing: Imagine a robot spy plane based on this technology, packed with GPS systems are ultra-lightweight, powerful battery and a high-precision camera and microphone. The type of data that can be collected covert surveillance robot bird will certainly impress - and more stylish than any device other spy drone out there.

 

Robot SmartBird using Zigbee radio communication that conveys information to the flight computer mentrak, increasing pergerakaannya.

Trojan alert 10 Producing Countries vicious!

MOSCOW - Anti-virus vendor Kaspersky released the 10-nation producer vicious Trojan that can steal passwords. List of countries was revealed at a conference on the threat of cyber crime in the future, which took place in Moscow.

China ranks as the country's top makers dominate Trojans with 63 percent followed by Russia (12%). While Germany, India and Turkey ranks next with position 4 percent. As for Egypt, the United States, Ukraine, Mexico, and France occupied the position by producing 3 percent of the outstanding amount of trojans.

Aleks Gostev, director of the Global Research and Analysis Team Kasperski said other countries were a bit surprising is the presence of Egypt in the list of 10 countries creator of the Trojan. Though known to the state of the country is not typical trojan makers.

As reported by ITP.net, Wednesday (1/11/2011), the data are based on research on the tens of millions of computers worldwide. "Egypt is the worst victim of cyber crime cases in 2008, but in 2009 the number of attack to Egypt has declined," said Gostev.

"In addition to Egypt, the surprise was Turkey who never did attack websites flagged British Jewish newspaper, replacing the main page with a Palestinian flag, the newspaper editor said.

The website for the Jewish Chronicle - the oldest Jewish newspaper in the world that continue to be published - tainted for several hours on Sunday, editor Stephen Pollard said Monday.

"No damage done, as far as we know," he said. The website was back online on Monday afternoon.

A number of pro-Palestinian hackers successfully broke into the website of The Jewish Chronicle, and to revamp the looks.

Terbajak version of the website, which was caught by Google, shows a large Palestinian flag against a black background. In a message is entered in English and Turkish, a group calling itself the "Palestinian Mujahid" it quoted some verses from the Quran.

, A lot of malware that is now made in Turkey, "he said.

List of countries most advanced trojan producer:
1.China
2.Russia
3.Jerman
4.India
5.Turki
6.Mesir
7.Amerika States
8.Ukraina
9.Meksiko
10. France

In 2009, many see the malware epidemic backed malicious files. This attack method has been used several viruses, such as TDSS and Virut.

When cyber criminals are now beginning to make an effort to legalize themselves. In addition, they began to make money by creating huge traffic using a botnet. Fake antivirus programs will increasingly raged in 2010.

However, many antivirus confident, with the market monitoring by IT security firm and government legal agencies, antiviral distribution will be increasingly difficult. Attacks on Google Wave. The attack is believed will continue to make headlines in 2010.

The attack on Google's service will begin with a pattern of sending spam, and phishing attacks, exploit loopholes in the website and spread malware. Increased attacks on iPhone and Android phones as a platform. Attacks on platforms appeared in 2009, indicating interest in the cyber criminals.

Many criminals take advantage of special days to spread malware. Valentine's Day, the issue of H1N1, crash of Air France Flight 447, Serena Williams, to the death of Michael Jackson. Malware writers and spammers trying to lure Internet users unsuspecting into downloading malware, buying products and falling for scams. Data Theft Continues Progress.

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, through October 13, 2009, 403 data breaches have been reported throughout the year and expose more than 220 million documents. According to the Ponemon Institute, people who do not mean any harm to continue to represent the bulk of data loss incidents by 88 percent of all data loss incidents caused by insiders such as employees and partners.

German Scientists Develop Laser Lowering Rain

GERMANY - A laser was used to produce a cloud in the sky that gave way to rain when needed.

For decades people are usually doing experiments seed rain by spraying the silver salt crystals into clouds high in the atmosphere.

Crystal water and push the point will come down to earth as rain.

"The efficiency of the technique is very controversial," said Jerome Kasparian of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, one of the team members who think laser could be a good way trigger rain on demand.

Kasparian and his colleagues have reported the first success of the technique is to invite a cloud in the air, both in the laboratory and in the sky Berlin Germany.

In the lab, the team fired infrared laser beam surprises extreme short into a door water-saturated air at a temperature of minus 24 degrees Celsius.

Linear cloud formations can be seen from the laser like a miniature aircraft being shaken.

Kasparian says the laser shock causes clouds to strip electrons from the atoms in the air and cause hidroxyl radical formation. It will turn into sulfur and nitrogen dioxide in the air into particles act as seeds fall of the rain.

"Each laser shock force issued a package milijoule 220 in just 60 femtoseconds, an intensity equal to the power of 1000 power plant," said Kasparian.

Analysis of air after the laser is turned off indicates that the total volume of condensed water droplets in it has increased by half, and thus the volume of condensed water increased by 100-fold.

Nevertheless, the extreme conditions of high humidity at low temperatures as in the lab is not the same as that seen in the atmosphere, according to Daniel Rosenfeld, an atmospheric scientist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

"Anything that has been documented in experiments with minimal relevance to natural clouds," he said.

Look out! U.S. Make 'Iron Man' For Military Forces

CALIFORNIA - Leaders superhero Iron Man, which is currently playing the film, seems to really be into the facts.

The hero of the cast iron robot will soon be made.

A team of scientists and engineers at Raytheon are designing sophisticated robotic suit military.

Later, military robots can be used by U.S. forces on the battlefield in the future.

According to project leader Dr. Stephen Jacobsen, outfit called the exoskeleton robot is basically a robot that can be used.

About the ability to strengthen the power of a warrior, endurance and agility.

"Built from a combination of sensors, actuators and controllers, the futuristic suit enables to easily carry a man on his back or lift several hundred times without tiring," said Jacobsen, as reported by TG Daily.

"However, the used robot is also agile enough to let its wearer kick a ball, punch a speed fast, or climb stairs and ramps with ease," he added

Jacobsen added that he saw his work on the exoskeleton project as a combination of art, science, engineering and design.

"People call it different things. Sometimes they call find, sometimes they call it engineering, Sometimes they call it a mad scientist." he said

"But for us, it is partly the process of getting together, understanding the problems, goals, and then designing something to satisfy human needs," he concluded.

Scientists Develop A Smart House Keeping Residents Able

LONDON - A group of British scientists develop 'smart home'.

Equipped with sensors, it can keep the house and keep an eye on the elderly in order to avoid things that are not desirable.

Sophistication, the sensor also detects the future will serve the health and welfare of the occupants of the house as well as upload and send important information you need to know the occupants of the home or the nearest neighbor.

Is Dr Jim Briggs and his team from the University of Portsmouth, UK, who is working on the project 'smart home' is.

With the injection of money 128,000 euros, or about $ 1.4 billion, they developed special sensors and advanced computer technology to complement the 'smart home'.

Briggs and his team also took PassivSystems technology company to mass-produce this technology.

Reported by the Telegraph, the sensor will first be tested in an experimental house.

As a result, the sensor is functioning very well, can even differentiate between residents who fell and needed help with the occupants of the house were just plain dropped.

This function is primarily intended for seniors or other residents who need help.

"It needs special care and supervision to the elderly. 'Smart house' help to replace the role of the guard house when you are forced to leave the house for a while, and ensure that the grandfather, grandmother, father or mother in a state of fine," said Briggs.

This sensor can also automatically turn burglar or fire alarms and turn off the stove and lights are not in use.

Sensing 'smart home' is still being developed and are being made ​​in order to monitor your heart rate and health history of the occupants of the house. Clever is not it?.

Away! British Military Tank Design Invisible Demon

LONDON - The war in the future will be increasingly challenged. Not only are more and more lethal weapons, the development of military technology to make what was once considered impossible, so real.

Armored tanks and aircraft invisibility, perhaps even invisible soldiers, were sent to the battlefield.

British arms company, BAE Systems is currently developing a war vehicle using a special technology called "e-camouflage" which will deploy some sort of 'electronic ink' to make it invisible.

How does it work? As reported by the Telegraph, Wednesday, January 19, 2011, sophisticated electronic sensors attached to the tank hull will project images of the surrounding environment on the outside of the vehicle.

This allows the vehicle electronic camouflage war blend with the surrounding environment, such as the squid uses ink as a cover.

Unlike conventional camouflage, the images on the hull would adjust to the changing environment, ensuring that vehicles are always in a state of disguise.

Until now, these ideas are still limited to science fiction. However, BAE Systems scientists believe this technology soon became apparent.

BAE Systems in collaboration with the Swedish company that creates unnamed similar technology to screen e-ink in a digital book readers like the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader.

The technology will be tested in the tank CV90. "But not only that, we also will try it on an airplane," said Mike Sweeney, a spokesman for the company.

BAE expects this new technology will be used be used on the battlefield in southern Afghanistan and the location of the conflict in the future, at least the next five years.

The prototype vehicle will be made within four years and will undergo operational experiment in 2013.

Tank is relatively mild invisibility sure weighs 30 tons, fueled electricity. Nevertheless, he was no less tough than other tanks that are currently at the forefront of the battle.

The form is also smaller for fuel savings. Compare with British tanks used today, Challenger 2, weighs 62.5 tons, and carried out with 1200 hp V12 diesel engine.

Creating vehicles that have a fuel-independent significance. Besides expensive, at this time, the fuel used by NATO troops carried into battle by way of a convoy through the streets that are frequently targeted militants.

The concept of invisibility vehicle developed as part of the Future Protected Vehicle program, which is believed to change the way the fight in the future.

The program consists of seven different military vehicles, manned or unmanned, equipped weapons, both lethal and non-lethal.

Unmanned vehicles or battlefield robots intended to perform dangerous missions in enemy territory, clearing minefields, rescue wounded soldiers in the midst of war.

Scientists also are developing biometric integration with advanced algorithms that are useful to detect potential threats from suicide bombers by analyzing suspicious behavior in groups or individually.

Electronic scanner will look for suspicious behavior, the clothes are not appropriate, or individual on the list. How, through the identification of face or iris.

U.S. Military Develops Advanced War Shaped Robot Cheetah

TEXAS - Defense Research Institute in the United States, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency center has ambitious project.

The existence of a powerful robot soldiers and combat ready we usually only see in Hollywood action films, seems about to come true.

Just imagine, if the figure terinpirasi humanoid robots and robots in the Terminator movies animals like in the movie Transformer, reportedly the U.S. military is now attempting to realize where they are in real life.

Maybe this is a start, but what has been done by the U.S. military may be the beginning of a major breakthrough.

Yes, what is not, the American military has reportedly commissioned production robot bipedal and quadrupedal soldiers who can run faster than humans.

The development itself is under the auspices of the Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program belongs to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

The program aims to create a scientific framework to increase significantly the rapid design and production of the robotic system and enhance robot mobility and manipulation greatest impact on the surrounding natural environment.

Besides intended for military purposes and the war, robots could also be used for other fields such as agriculture, fire, and emergency services.

To realize all of that, the DARPA have binding contracts with Boston Dynamics who also previously successfully developed a quadruped robot called the BigDog.

As reported by the Boston Herald, the cooperation project is expected to cost millions of dollars for a period of 4 years. And so far, Boston Dynamic alone have been assigned to develop a humanoid robot named Atlas and quadruped robot called Cheetah targeted finished within 20 months.

As far as the development of an ongoing, reportedly Cheetah robot capable of a strong run in any condition. Besides being a noisy sound, this robot was also only able to run below the expected rate. And even as President Marc Raibert Boston Dynamic himself, affirms that to achieve perfection robot seems they still need.

According Raibert it is still trying to match the speed of a cheetah that reaches 96-112 km per hour."There's no excuse not to match the pace of the original, but it takes time to reach that number," said Marc Raibert, president of Boston Dynamics, told the Boston Herald.

Meanwhile, the Atlas robot has two arms, two legs and can walk upright much like the prototype anthropomorphic Petman ever before. Robots of this type are designed to squeeze into the narrow room and use their hands to move quickly on steep terrain.

Whew! This is the 'Ship of Noah' The Future Made In USA

NEW ORLEANS - bitter memories of the past can indeed be valuable lessons for improving future.

It probably will happen to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, Hurricane Katrina devastated terrific in 2005.

Now, a group of designers from Boston trying to rebuild New Orleans by creating a futuristic tall building that claimed to be immune to attacks similar storm.

They have submitted a proposal to build a giant on the outskirts of the Mississippi River.

The building, named City of Noah or Noah (New Orlean Arcology Habitat), it has a high 1.200ft (365.76 meters), with an area of ​​2,787,091.2 square meters and can accommodate up to 40 thousand inhabitants.

NOAH will provide a range of facilities owned by the city, including hotels, shopping malls, casinos, and even schools. This building takes the form of a triangle because it is designed specifically to accept destructive effects are minimal and could miss the storm.

"Our solution is to address the challenges and take advantage of the conflicts experienced by urban buildings that float," said Kevin Schopfer's concept of building designers, as quoted from dailymail site.

The first challenge, Schopfer said, is to find a way so that the building can withstand the physical and psychological damage due to hostile weather. In addition, how to keep the city can provide a safe and stable environment in economic terms.

Another challenge is that the city of New Orleans was on the structure of the soft soil, such as silt and clay. Not only that, most of the city also has an elevation below sea level so it is prone to flooding.

"NOAH could be the forefront of a new era of urban growth."

Schopfer confirms this design can be utilized in many coastal areas and be able to float in a fixed position forever. The new environment is planned to be present at the edge of the Mississippi and extending to the river.

Virgin Oceanic, Jet Seabed From Sir Richard Branson

LONDON - Anyone who knows Sir Richard Branson will not be surprised by this latest news.

Having pioneered cheap travel into space through Virgin Galactic, one of Britain's richest businessmen dream now can provide seabed jet to bring new experiences into a tough spot touched.

Branson named his new project as the Virgin Oceanic. The name was in line with the airline named Virgin Atlantic and space tourism project Virgin Galactic.

He introduced a vehicle called jet seabed that will be used Virgin Oceanic.

Virgin Oceanic has an operating system that can work at a depth of 37 thousand feet. The submarine can carry only one person. Maximum speed 3 knots and can dive to 350 feet per minute. Similarly, as reported by Pocket-Lint.

"The ship a 18-foot (5.5 meter) can dive to a depth of 11 kilometers below sea level," said Branson introduces jet seabed Virgin Oceanic developed at a news conference in Newport Beach, California.

The single-vehicle berpenumpang. Branson said Virgin Oceanic seabed jet can carry riders during the day on the deep seafloor. He estimated the cost for a single trip to the seafloor trench about 10 million U.S. dollars (about USD 86 billion).

Virgin Oceanic will undertake five dives in the next two years. The first target is approaching the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 36,000 feet, or about 11 kilometers from the sea surface.

After that, Branson is also planning to do it yourself on a second occasion to the Puerto Rico Trench in the Atlantic Ocean. Trench is the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean with depths of more than 8 kilometers.

Other areas to be visited is the Molloy Deep in the Arctic Ocean, North Pole, South Sandwich Trench, and Diamantina in the Indian Ocean.

"There is so much to be explored. Was so much to be found," said Branson. He hopes he does breakthrough could contribute useful knowledge for human life in the future

Previous Richard Branson, known as the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airways milarder also have an ambition to make corporate space as a tourist attraction. Through Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson will bring the millionaires in the world to enjoy a holiday in space via a special plane and hotel provided there.
