Representing the evolution of the U3-X personal mobility device that Honda announced in 2009, UNI-CUB features Honda's proprietary balance control technology and the world's first omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System). These technologies allow the rider to control speed, move in any direction, turn and stop, all simply by shifting his or her weight. Since the rider can freely move forward, backward, side-to-side and diagonally, he or she can quickly and easily maneuver among other 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.
A group of mechanical engineers had conducted a study on the incredible frictional properties of snake locomotion, in order to construct more dynamic rescue robots.
Drexel University researchers are using next-generation technologies in three-dimensional printing for studying ancient life. For the first time, scale models of real fossils will be used in order to test hypotheses about how prehistoric animals and dinosaurs lived and moved during their time.
Advances in robots will soon allow it to function without any virtual human interference. A new system has been formulated wherein the robots can map their environment through Microsoft’s Kinect camera.
One of the major challenges in developing social robots is making them compatible with the expectations and requirements of the human mind, according to Maja Matariæ, Director of Center for Robotics and Embedded Systems of the University of Southern California.
Dario Floreano and Steffen Wischmann from EPFL and Laurent Keller from the University of Lausanne (UNIL) conducted a joint research project, which showed that communication systems can develop differently in the same species and in the same environment.
Engineers, biologists, graduate and undergraduate students at the University of California, Berkeley, have observed how lizards remain upright even when they stumble in mid-air. The team has discovered that lizards swing their tails in the upward direction and this keeps them from falling forward.
