ROBOTS VS MANKIND
Man invented robots but they have no ability to think ,but they have more power than us, they can learn more faster than us.Once the artificial intelligence is installed in them then that is the time where the big problems would start.There may be end to mankind.
let us see how advanced we are:
this is called asimo 48 which is android robot
We are hurriedly heading into a futuristic era where robots will be commonly seen helping around the house, performing all the tasks just like humans. We have already come across a number of robots that have impressed all of the geeky brains with their stunning capabilities. Although the list is long, I would hereby like to mention a few- Honda’s ASIMO humanoid robot, $1 million Rogun robot, Tiro MC robot, underwater whale guard robot, Ellos rescuebot, and the fighter Landroids. All these robots are serving different sections of our society.
Lately, NASA funded a reported $450,000 for three robots that are to be used in a mission to explore life near the hot springs under the ice of the Arctic Ocean. And recently, a team of researchers from the University of Hertfordshire was reported to be developing a humanoid robot that will help autistic children learn social skills and form relationships.
All these advancements in the robotic dome point straightforward to a robotic age. But, the only concern with the robots development- their ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and smoothly- remains in the limelight.
Now, a team of researchers at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, with computer science Professor Oussama Khatib as their leader, is working to bestow robots with the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and smoothly. Humanoid robots can move back and forth very well but are not at ease when it comes to interaction with the world. The researchers are planning to ‘develop robots with the capability to physically touch, push and move objects.”
The project:
This project is a part of the Honda Humanoid Robot Project that aims at building human-friendly robots, which are capable of performing handy tasks in an intricate, changing environment. Khatib has the honor of building twin robots, Romeo and Juliet, which can cooperate to perform complicated tasks such as lifting a long length of pipe.
The Inspiration:
Human beings perform different tasks in a way that minimizes discomfort. Infants know how to avoid those postures that cause them physical distress. So, the inspiration for developing this next generation of humanoid robots came from humans itself. Khatib said:
For example, while taking a sip from a hot cup of coffee, most people naturally hold their forearm at about a 45-degree angle, not up near their ear or down by their side. They use the mechanical advantage of their bodies to perform the task while assuming postures that minimize muscular effort.
The prototype:
Till the date, the team has been able to build a PC prototype dubbed StanBot, which resides on Khatib’s computer screen as simulation. While still on the screen, StanBot is proficient enough to respond to external settings like gravity and other forces the same way a physical robot would do.
Possible application:
Khatib has plans to entrench his ideas into the Honda’s ASIMO humanoid robot. The 7-year-old robot is able to walk, run and greet bystanders but, it fails to perform useful tasks in complex, real-time conditions. But once, ASIMO is equipped with Khatib’s software, it will be able to execute tasks such as ironing and clearing tables with an ease.
Safety issues:
One of the most important features, which these next generation robots like ASIMO must possess, is the human-friendly attitude. They should know how to shake hands safely with a human or how much pressure to use to hold something. To address the same, the robot arms have been stuffed with multiple motors instead of just one, which makes for increased softness of touch. Khatib thinks that the robots will be carrying out all the chores such as making a cup of coffee or cleaning the windows with little or no human involvement in the very near future.
Dextre -NASA Plans Giant Space Robot
Apparently upset by the total lack of giant space robots attacking Earth, NASA have decided to build their own. "Dextre" (pronounced "Dexter"), a ten meter wide remote-controlled megabot, will be attached to the side of the International Space Station over the next fortnight. The robot will be taken up in pieces next Tuesday then assembled over three spacewalks, in a job that makes even the most expensive Perfect Grade Gundam kit look snapping two Lego blocks together.

TESTING THE ROBOT
Robots are becoming a new favourite in the toy category, and dinosaurs have always been a source of interest for children, so it’s no small wonder that robotic dinosaurs are all the rage these days. This dinosaur contains multiple sensors to detect sound, touch and movement around it, so that it can react to stimulus just like a real-life miniaturize dinosaur would.
One of the most famous of the Transformers is now available at only 14 inches tall, but with all the spunk and cool looks that we’ve come to expect from him. With his sleek design, sound effects for battle and conversation, and incredible animatronics system, Ultimate Bumblebee is an incredible, fully-featured action figure which is sure to amaze any kid.
Meet Kozirou and Kotarou humanoid robots developed by the University of Tokyo. Unlike traditional robots which create motion by pulling the joint by motors the Kozirou (the robot sitting) has motors in place of joints which give it a more human like movement. Capable of walking it is an updated version of Kotarou who is standing next to it.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of LEGO Mindstorms, a group of professors, inside-educate students, and corporate nerds will be launching some Mindstorms robots into near-distance. The High Altitude LEGO Extravaganza (HALE) predict will set the robots aloft in an atmospheric weather inflate briskly before sunrise this morning beyond of Reno, Nevada. About 100,000 feet (30km) the swell will burst and the robots will parachute back to terra firma collecting records and photographs along the way. One robot named Lil’ Joe will crack a world trace released-collapse clothed before deploying its parachute on a pre-programmed schedule. Mind you, the world release is attributable to Mindstorms NXT limitless-plummet, a name we assume is seized by your little brother sleeping upstairs.
