Osaka University Japan – in order to design more efficient robots with higher speed and agility the anatomy of a cat is taken as a model in the project Pneupard. What makes the Pneupard distinct among other biomimetic robots is the use of pneumatic artificial muscles. The project team, which also studied pneumatic artificial muscles previously, is from the Graduate School of Information Science and […] Read More

In an effort to advance our understanding of the human brain, the Obama administration is planning a decade – long major undertaking for studying the human brain, according to a news published at New York Times. It is expected to be the equivalent of the Human genome Project done in genetics field, which paved the way for many advances in the field later and has […] Read More

The soft robot designed by the researchers of Harvard University is able to move upright, crawl below objects and change its color; and now leaping is another recently improved ability of it. The precisely controlled mixture of methane and oxygen in the tubes shown in the picture creates a slight explosion and with that explosion jumping almost a foot (more than 30 times its own […] Read More

Rex is an outcome and a breakthrough of the latest prosthetic and biomimicry technology that can imitate the abilities of human body and even surpasses them. With his many aspects Rex is an ordinary man except for the fact that he is a real world bionic man that can see, talk and communicate with people. Most importantly, as an android, Rex is the first bionic […] Read More

The newest space explorer of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), RASSOR is a mining robot at the prototype stage for now, but landing a similar robot to moon is planned. It is both an autonomous and a teleoperated mobile robotic platform with space excavation abilities and can be regarded as a closer step to have a lunar base that is sustainable. RASSOR is […] Read More

IBM’s Watson AI program is a unique artificial intelligence computer system with a capability of grasping the slight differences in natural human language and answering the questions that are asked by human users. It has a wide range of data and can give answers even with evidences. It was specifically designed to answer the questions on the quiz show Jeopardy! Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) will […] Read More
