This is a clip from The Dream Life of Rats where neuroroboticsists research brain control of machines. One scientist uses discoveries to remote control a live rat by sending stimuli into its brain via electrodes. Another scientist enables a paraplegic to control a computer mouse pointer via a direct-interface to his brain known as the Braingate. Partly funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the United States, these technologies are expected to give future soldiers enhanced capabilities. [More] [Less] |

Tyre manufacturing company has come to the rescue of Fuji the dolphin who was stricken by a mysterious life threatening illness and lost her fin. She caught a disease that begun gradually rotting her tail and her tail had to be amputated to save her life. For awhile the now 37-year old Fuji survived without a fin, but her lack of exercise and weight gain proved problematic. A friend of the handler\'s working at one of Japan\'s leading tyre makers, Bridgestone Corp, offered to make them an artificial tail fin for Fuji, the first of its kind in the world. The result was a tail fin 30 centimetres in length and 70 centimetres wide, a bit smaller than the tail of a healthy dolphin of Fuji\'s size. The fin was... [More] [Less] |

Un equipo de la Universidad de Plymouth espera con ansias la llegada de un robot humanoide de un metro de altura llamado iCub. El proyecto en cuestión, que se basa en lograr que el robot bebé aprenda a hablar, empezará el mes próximo y tendrá cuatro años de duración. Por el momento tienen el apoyo de varias universidades alrededor de Europa y ganaron una beca de € 6 millones para el proyecto. [More] [Less] |

One of our contributions to the RobotCub project was the design of the robot head, face and facial expressions, in addition to the rest of the body cover. This video illustrates the expressions available in the final design. We performed tests in kinder gardens to understand how children evaluate the robot\'s expressions. For more information see: http://www.robotcub.org/ http://vislab.isr.ist.utl.pt/ [More] [Less] |

Standard humanoid robots mimic the human form but the mechanisms used in such robots are very different from those in humans, and the characteristics of the robot reflect this. This places severe limitations on the kinds of interactions such robots can engage in, on the knowledge they can aquire of their environment, and therefore on the nature of their cognitive engagement with the environment. However a new kind of robot is just beginning to emerge - the anthropomimetic robot. Instead of just copying the appearance of a human, it copies the inner structures and mechanisms - bones, joints, musles, and tendons, and thus has the potential for human-like action and interaction in the world. ECCE, developed within the EU\\\'s 7th Framework Programme, is the first robot that follows the anthropomimetic design principles very closely. The project has three major goals: (1) to design and build a robot using anthropomimetic principles, (2) to characterise its dynamics and control it, (3) to exploit its human-like characteristics to produce some human-like cognitive features.
