Question of the Day: Have you ever been to an airshow?
Android Clone
- Thread starter willirob
- Start date
Robotics has come along way in the past couple of years. The "Android Clone" doesn't seem that advanced as looking at the pictures the clones lip movements are not autonomous and it doesn't appear as if it's fingers are movable.
For a more impressive robot, have a look at the video of "Albert Hubo" (Hanson's Einstein Robot).
One of the major advances in robotics is the inclusion of digital servo's, a servo is basically a motor with force feedback. The inclusion of force feedback is very useful when it comes to robotics as it allows for a tactile sensation (e.g. prevent the robot from crushing your hand when giving a hand shake).
As advanced as robots are becoming, the major stumbling block is still that of artificial intelligence with most of the Humanoid robots still requiring real humans to control them on some level. Hopefully we will see some advances in this arena as Microsoft's recently announced Robotics Studio provides a standard for robotic creators and should allow for collaboration between different developments.
