SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.

Super Robot model. I think this was either a model given away at doctor's offices or some sort of model given away by a Japanese pharmaceutical company (the name of a pharmaceutical company is printed on the bottom flap).
It says "Super Robot #2" in Japanese. I think it's more "cute" than "super". Maybe even feminine robot?
Paro is a therapeutic robot baby harp seal, intended to have a calming effect on and elicit emotional responses in patients of hospitals and nursing homes, similar to Animal-Assisted Therapy, but without its negative aspects.
It was designed by Takanori Shibata of the Intelligent System Research Institute of Japan's AIST beginning in 1993. It was first exhibited to the public in late 2001, became a Best of COMDEX finalist in 2003, and handmade versions have been sold commercially since 2004.
The robot has tactile sensors and responds to petting by moving its tail and opening and closing its eyes. It also responds to sounds and can learn a name. It can show emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger. It produces sounds similar to a real baby seal and (unlike a real baby seal) is active during the day and goes to sleep at night

Bambini e adulti affetti da autismo vivono in un mondo in cui interagire con la realtà circostante è molto difficile. Paro è arrivato dal Giappone per aiutarli. L'idea di base è molto simile a quella della Pet-terapy, con la non trascurabile differenza che l'animale non è vero. Ma non è affatto un giocattolo. Stiamo parlando di robot zoomorfi di ultima generazione, arrivati direttamente da Tokyo e con l'aspetto forma di un cucciolo di foca. Piccolo, morbido e bianco, il robot Paro si comporta come un vero e proprio organismo artificiale. Può ed esempio essere addestrato e programmato, comunica i suoi stati emotivi, si muove autonomamente e gioca insieme ai bambini. Paro "vive" grazie a una rete neurale che gli permette di interagire con l'ambiente circostante, avendo un comportamento autonomo. Attraverso alcuni sensori il robottino capta le informazioni e le rielabora con un microcomputer interno: questo stratifica le informazioni in entrata, costruendo così un vero e proprio archivio. Influenzato da queste informazioni esterne, Paro sviluppa una sua personalità grazie alla quale potrà interagire con gli esseri umani. Interazione non scontata, perché Paro ha un compito difficile: stabilire un contatto con quei bambini e pazienti affetti da sindrome autistica. Persone che per comunicare hanno bisogno di infrangere il muro che esiste fra loro e il resto del mondo. E già da qualche anno alcuni studi scientifici hanno mostrato come questa nuova tecnologia possa dare risultati positivi nel campo della riabilitazione cognitiva. Sembra infatti dimostrato che i robot di ultima generazione riescono a sollecitare nei pazienti dei rapporti di coinvolgimento emotivo che altre tecnologie escludevano.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 will take place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students will learn how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board. They will then decorate their animated creatures, give them a story, and create a magical world for them to live in.
This photo set covers our our first prototypes for this class, featuring a Baby Angel, an Alien and a Bamboodu native american spirit, in different stages of construction. Students will design their own characters, and we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, using the same mechanisms to make characters shake their heads and wave their arms while they roam.
Each student will receive a robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.
We are also teaching a similar class for adults and teens at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, which will use the same robot kit. In just two evenings in late September, we'll show students how to build their own robot with Arduino, make it move, light up and play sounds -- then take it home.

Corpo Automi Robot. Tra arte, scienza e tecnologia.

La mostra “Corpo, automi, robot. Tra arte, scienza e tecnologia”, organizzata dal Museo d'Arte in collaborazione con la Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta di Milano e con la partecipazione del Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia “Leonardo da Vinci” di Milano e del Museo Cantonale d’Arte di Lugano, affronta con un approccio interdisciplinare il rapporto tra il corpo umano e la rappresentazione che di esso è stata data da parte delle arti, della scienza e della tecnologia, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la dinamica dell’imitazione del corpo (con gli automi) e della sua sostituzione (con i robots).

Building a simple and easy microcontroller based robot is always a fascinating topic to be discussed, especially for the robotics newbie enthusiast. On this tutorial I will show you how to build your own microcontroller based robot which known as a photovore or you could call it as the light chaser robot using the simplest possible circuit for the microcontroller based robot brain, locomotion motor and the sensor.

K+S has the widest range of robots in the industry with both American and Japanese interface controls. Each component from your robot is diagnosed, repaired, and system tested in our robot to ensure proper operation in your application. Our capabilities include support on drives, motors, system boards, operator panels and teach pendants.
We have installed over 25 robotic manipulator and controller diagnostic systems in order to facilitate complete functional and closed loop testing for a wide range of robotic components. Electrical devices ranging from CPU, axis, communication boards to teach pendants, power supplies, servo drives, I/O modules and operator display panels are included.

This 75 minute show was absolutely incredible. I want to go back and watch another.

Robots are not big and powerful - except the Warbot, which is also indestructible - but they are many. And they replicate quickly. Did you ever read a science fiction story where malfunctioning nanobots convert all matter on earth into more nanobots? That's what these robots do, every other minion you play lets you play an extra minion. Flooding a base with Minions has never been easier.
We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help 4th and 5th graders create their own artistic robot. This after-school class is taking place in fall 2017 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers the first half of our 12-part course, when students get to build their robots. Each student received their own robot kit, which they learned to assemble, control and program. They first built a chassis, then wired up the electronics, assembled a remote control, then added a head and arms, with servo motors to make them move.
We then laser cut wooden figures and body parts based on their designs, which included a police bot, a swat bot, a devil bot and a chef bot. Once their bots are designed and assembled, they will learn how to program them and make them move in different ways, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families in December.
For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features, at a lower cost. It was a lot of work, but we’re very happy with the final results, and our students seemed to really enjoy the class. We hope this will encourage other teachers, students and makers to create their own animated characters, for art and technology’s sake.
