7 most unusual robot
The robot mannequin
The selection and purchase of clothing - it's one of the lessons that can not yet be automated, or virtualization. We have to go to the store to try on a variety of options until you find the one most comfortable, which never shakes and bulged. And if you're lucky enough to have a non-standard figures or growth - there is even a guard shout, buy clothes turns into torture. To somehow ease the buying clothes online stores, one Estonian company engineers have designed a robot dummy that can take shape and physique of any person - from dystrophic up very, very amateur hamburgers and Big Macs. The site fits.me can specify the data to get their virtual twin, who try everything you want, and see how the clothes will look on you, if you want to buy it. So far, unfortunately, so only possible selection of men's clothing, but the company claimed that soon it will be possible on the site and choose the clothes for ladies. Apparently, their lines shape technology to handle more complicated.
Robot-washer Hair
You might think that to entrust the hair washing machine can only inveterate couch potato, but the Japanese think differently. Panasonic has developed a robot hair washer, which should help hygiene in nursing homes and hospitals, as well as single people with disabilities. The system automatically skanniruet contours of the head is determined based on this necessary effort (hopefully accurately and correctly) and then "hand" with 16 "fingers" gently massaging the scalp while applying the required amount of shampoo and washing it as needed. < br />
Robot bartender
Robot bartender, probably the most common character in the hundreds of works of fiction, and therefore it is in our list. Students from the Faculty of Computational Linguistics and Phonetics of the University of Saarland in Germany, built from Lego robot, which demonstrates how the voice recognition system can be used in the distribution of alcoholic beverages. The robotic bartender takes voice commands, so that the visitor is simple enough to say what he wants to get a drink, and then the robot will mix all the necessary and offer the client. It is also able to support simple conversation and tell a couple of fresh jokes, and little to enlighten the client, telling him stories.
Robot gazonokosilka
Husqvarna is offering, among other things his garden equipment lawnmower called Husqvarna Solar-Powered Robot Lawnmover (HSPRL). This super-advanced lawnmower was presented at the specialized exhibitions in Sweden in 2008, so it's possible that such a machine is running in the garden of some wealthy Swedish family. A distinctive feature of the mower is powered by solar panels and built-capacity battery. The device weighs about 10 kilograms, and without charge, it can handle a quarter of a hectare of lawn bounded by a special cable, which is for lawnmowers limit, beyond which it is impossible to call. The robot is equipped with multiple safety devices, such as automatic stop knives in case of separation from the ground or the coup, as well as distance sensors, making it possible to go around the obstacles (trees, foot, dog ...)
Robot neyrohirurg
In 2008, a Canadian woman was the first who had brain surgery performed by a robot. Mechanical arm that controls the neurosurgeon successfully removed from the head Nikason Paige (the name of the patient) tumor. Mechanized arm developed at the University of Calgary, she has pressure sensors that are necessary when dealing with such a delicate material as the brain.
Robot-eater muh
Very strange device. I would even say it is a revolution among all the strange robots. We create it in the University of Bristol, and the name of this insatiable robot EcoBot. The most important feature of it - full autonomy, because instead of the battery its performance is supported by a small fuel cell, which is the raw material for sugar. Bacteria in cells, processed into sugar ... insects which catches the robot, thus maintaining its "living". Of course, some flies he can not lift weights or move quickly - the whole of his work is reduced to a brief Readings of sensors which can be transmitted to a remote collection center. In tests, eight flies were able to provide the energy to operate the robot for 12 days. During these 12 days, every 14 minutes, he made some movements of a few seconds, which according to the developers, to lure insects. This, of course, not the Valley, but a start. Fantasia person really knows no boundaries, and that gives us hope for the best.
Robot Archer
If the robot washer head you was not enough, there are traces of Unicum - robot archer. Several engineers decided to teach the ability to iron contraption, which remained only in some tribes on the planet. And I want to tell you that this Iron Archer is very capable - in eight attempts, he falls into the center of the target, learning on the go. For his training even invented a special program based on the algorithm ARCHER (Augmented Reward Chained Regression), «sharpened" under a gradual increase in accuracy. I hope that the military will take this robot into service as shooting arrows in modern combat robot will make a huge impression on the enemy. Especially if these arrows with suction cups are at the end.
