A team of researchers at Personal Robotics Lab of Ashutosh Saxena has already trained robots to recognize, pick and place common objects. A new human element has now been added, where the robots will be trained to "hallucinate" the movement and behavior of human beings and the related objects.
Constructed using a design approach that is absolutely different from similar robots, the flying robot “Airburr” is capable of actively navigating around obstacles.
MIT’s Boeing Career Development Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Julie Shah stated that in future handling of common tasks, the factory floor may have robots working alongside humans. Shah predicts that airplane manufacturing can be effective with robotic assistants.
DARPA has aimed to provide an option for service-disabled soldiers to rejoin their service by providing improved quality of life.
Quantum International has discovered promising potential to supply advanced personal assistance robots that can aid the chronically ill and the elderly, making their lives more productive and independent.
Redwood Robotics will be building the "next generation arm" for robots. The aim is to create an arm that does for robotics what the Apple II did for computers: get the hardware out of factories and into homes. The arm should be user friendly: simple to program, inexpensive, and safe to operate alongside people.
On May 2-4, 2012, a group of about 25 European researchers will meet at the University of Orebro, Sweden, to design robots that can help the elderly and their family to live a better and more independent life. The event is part of the project "Robot-Era", which is funded by the European Commission and which will last for 4 years, from January 2012 to December 2015. The project, coordinated by the Italian "Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna", includes a mix of universities, research centers, private companies and public bodies from four EU countries: Italy, the UK, Germany and Sweden.
Last week, the Volkswagen Automotive Innovation Lab of Stanford was embellished with the third annual Robot Block Party. A variety of robots and robotic technology arrived from the San Francisco Bay Area, to participate in this event.
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology along with FZI Research Center for Information Technology will present a humanoid robot, with new algorithms and 3 D visualizations, at the CeBIT in Hanover.
