robot 機器人

等不及上市的小恐龍。
先看看他們的耶誕賀卡ㄅ!!

2007即將結束.
而你注意到一年的開春與尾聲都是紅紅的嗎?

恭喜極趣.賀喜極趣.
BE-ROBOT

極趣科技又再次光榮歸國.實在是太感動了! 該說感謝祖國嗎? 不過無論如何.都希望中國人可以趕快光榮的做出更多ROBOT產品. 讓龍的傳人.傲視全球~ 本次獲的"行走機器人競賽.企業組"冠軍. 那是當然要的阿. 全球最小的機器人.當然速度快.一樣高階伺服馬達~動作可快的ㄋ!! PMC機器人報導

消防機器人，甚至還有機器人滅火比賽，我們之前都有過詳盡的報導。不過這批來自Qinetiq的勇者們，才是我們應該敬重的英雄，因為他們是首批獲准上路的機器人消防員。

RoboPhilo is a compact personal robot that offers a level of sophistication you usually don’t find in robots for under $1000, let alone in one that costs less than 500 clams.

還記得我們8月份那會兒報導過的神雞鬥士嗎？他的射擊系同門Robovie-X現身日本，現以94,500日元（約新台幣27,500元）的價格開始接受預定，明年2月發貨。

這是極趣科技第2次到世貿展覽.藉由經濟部中小企業處的專案才有這樣的機會再次將極趣科技之人型機器人robot展示在國人面前.

We've finally created the robot version of Hell: force one to sit, eternally, in a dentist chair and have it's mouth operated on. Could we make it worse? Why not give the bot sensitive teeth, eh? Unfortunately for the Simroid, Kokoro went the whole nine yards when the company designed it to act as a responsive training aid for dentists — teeth and all.

I saw a presentation by Professor Siciliano from University of Naples a few weeks ago. During the presentation, he briefly mentioned (and had a video) of a very cool new humanoid named Justin. Justin sports not one, but two of the DLR-III Light-Weight arms (now being manufactured by Kuka). These arms are impressive! They're the first robotic arms (to my knowledge) to have a 1-to-1 power-to-weight ratio (meaning they can lift their own mass). These are very "sexy" arms, and even more impressive in person (Georgia Tech has one in orange that I spent some time examining -- way cool). Anyway, I was unable to find copies of the videos Professor Siciliano showed during his presentation. The best I could find was a video on Wired's site from ICRA-2007. They apparently do not allow downloads, so the following was the best I could muster: Justin-ICRA07 
這只被命名為Justin的人型機器人現在只是個展示品，未來會投入商業應用也說不定。幸好這傢伙是被固定在桌子上的，如果長了腿到處亂跑還不知道會造成何等的混亂。 Justin最大的特色就是那強大的DLR-III Light-Weight雙臂，除了外觀時尚以外，擺動起來也是相當靈巧，可以撿起垃圾或是旋開瓶蓋。

生活品質的不斷提昇，人們對於娛樂休閒的需求也隨著增加並受到重視，尤其近年，以消費者之需求為導向，已成為產業發展利行之原則，各產業莫不以發展消費者之最愛為取向的產品或服務，即便是玩具產業的發展亦然，不論是傳統玩具，抑或是近年當紅的科技玩具或電子寵物等。

還記得曾經紅極一時的AIBO嗎？隨著後進越來越多，AIBO如果不學點新花樣就會變成被遺忘的老狗啦！卡爾加裡大學在一個研究人機介面的計畫Wiibot中，將Wiimote和Nunchuck綁在人的手臂肌肉上後和AIBO的控制程式連結，於是AIBO的前肢就和主人的雙手合為一體，走路握手都難不倒牠！他們還特別錄製了一段影片，顯示這個控制介面如何輕鬆的打敗鍵盤的上下左右鍵，快跳轉去看看吧！ 等Wii Fit出來，相信很快就會有人開發全身控制模組了！

While we thoroughly enjoyed hearing of EMIEW's (presumably) short-lived career as a hotel clerk, it looks like Hitachi's EMIEW 2 has some seriously large aspirations. In a recent demonstration in Hitachinaka, the two-wheeled robot wowed onlookers as it received commands wirelessly and happily ran office errands without too much trouble. The creation, which stands some 31.5-inches tall and weighs 29-pounds, did crash into a desk and stand motionless momentarily while being previewed, but developers didn't hesitate to inform the crowd that kinks were still being ironed out. Nevertheless, it was able to avoid obstacles while rolling about, understand and respond to human speech and move around for an hour before needing a recharge. The company refused to spill details surrounding its eventual price and release date, but we're hearing there may soon be an open spot in Scranton that this fellow could certainly fill.

經濟部工業局為促進台灣robot產業推動與發展，辦理示範案例活動－「業界產品開發成果展示」，由今年度18家廠商參與法人單位共同合作研發之智慧型機器人產品成果發表、產品展示及介紹，分享各家產品技術研發與理念規劃，秀出台灣robot新能量！精采可期，錯過可惜喔！。
