Lupv IOS 5.1 Is Here With Better Battery Life, New Siri Languages and Better Photostream Features
There a new robot in town that may not have the confident swagger of Boston Dynamics ; PETMAN, but it does have something special going for it: biological accuracy. Developed by a group of researchers from the Unive stanley cup becher rsity of Arizona, the new bipedal robot is equipped with the fundamental neuromuscular architecture of human walking 鈥?right down to the level of bifunctional muscles, sensors, and even neurons. The folks who made the robot Big Dog are building a real Cylon The development could help us understand the ba stanley canada sic principles of walking in humans and animals, while offering a potential glimpse into futuristic therapies for those suffering from spinal cord injuries. To make it work, the researchers applied the basics of human anatomy to their robotic model. Using straps as muscles, they were able to mimic agonist/antagonist action which makes muscles work in pairs , while also preserving their ability for dual function. For stanley usa added accuracy, they used load sensors in the straps to let the machine know when its leg has reached a stepping surface or other object. As for the brain, researchers Theresa Klein and M. Anthony Lewis once again looked at the human model. A key component of human walking is a neural network in the lumbar region of the spinal cord which generates rhythmic muscle signals. It this system that enables us to walk without having to think too much about it 鈥?and it does so by constantly referring to information gathered by different par Npjo These clips from Rise of the Guardians are actually kind of cute!
A pillow to the face is a good way to silence the snorer you sleep with. Unless you ;re the snorer. In that case you ;d probably prefer to share a bed with Jukusui-kun, a robot polar bear that doubles as an intelligent pillow, gently waking you by tickling your face so you ;ll roll onto your side. Developed stanley cup by Wasaeda Univeristy Kabe Lab, and demonstrated at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo, Jukusui-kun, which translates to deep sleep, doesn ;t just listen to how loud someone is snoring. Since it designed to be a serious tool to help those suffering from sleep apnea syndrome, the user also wears a pulse oxygen meter on their hand, which sends readings to a terminal monitoring their vital signs. When their oxygen level drops, indicating they ; stanley mugs re having a hard time breathing, the polar bear arm reaches over and gently tickles their face, causing them to subconsciously roll on to their side where it easier to breathe while sleeping. I ;m assuming the use of an adorable polar bear is also strategic, since it makes it harder for those who really don ;t like being disturbed in t stanley mug he middle of the night to simply tear the bear head off. It wouldn ;t stop me, but I ;d probably be happy with just forcefully removing its arm after the first tickle. [Japan Trends] HealthRobot |
