The HRP-4C is a female humanoid robot, created by the National Institue of Advanced Industrial Science and TEchnology- a Japanese research facility. An in-public demonstration was put on March 16, 2009.
It measures 158 centimetres (5 feet, 2 inches) tall, and weighs 43
kilos (95 pounds) - including a battery pack. The robot's shape and
joints are based on the 1997–1998 Japanese body dimension database. The
HRP-4C has a realistic head, and the average figure of a young Japanese
female. It can move like a human and responds based on speech
recognition. It is capable of recognizing ambient sounds and, by using the vocal synthesizer Vocaloid, can sing. The software that operates the robot is developed on the basis of Open Robotics Platform (OpenRTP), including OpenRTM-aist and OpenHRP3.
Recent upgrades have allowed HRP-4C to mimic human facial and head
movements, as well as execute dance steps, resulting in the most
realistic performance yet at Tokyo's Digital Content Expo in 2010.
Lucu nih, kayak di animasi-animasi Jepang gitu..
2. Toyota Musical Robots
On December 6, several months after Toyota's DJ Robot ditched its entertainment career for a job as a receptionist and renamed itself "Robina,"
the auto giant unveiled a new, musically-inclined Partner Robot that
can play violin. A total of 17 computer-controlled joints in its
flexible arms and agile fingers allow the robot to hold the violin and
correctly press the strings against the fingerboard with its left hand,
while gently drawing the bow across the strings with its right hand. In a
recital held at a Toyota showroom in Tokyo, the 152-centimeter (5-ft)
tall humanoid entertained guests with a slightly robotic but technically
adept rendition of "Pomp and Circumstance."
The robot violinist is the latest addition to Toyota's ensemble of
musical androids, which can also play trumpet, tuba, trombone, French
horn and percussion. In addition to further developing its musical
skills, Toyota aims to continue improving the robot's dexterity and
coordination so that it can one day perform household chores.
Also unveiled at the demonstration was a new mobility robot -- a
motorized chair that balances itself on a pair of self-adjusting
Segway-like wheels that can roll smoothly over uneven surfaces and rough
terrain. Intended as a personal transport system for the elderly, the
mobility robot can run at a maximum speed of 6 kilometers per hour (3.7
mph) for 20 kilometers (12 miles) on a single battery charge, can handle
10-degree slopes, and is outfitted with sensors that allow it to avoid
collisions with obstacles. Users can also summon the robot by remote
control and use it as a porter to carry luggage.
Robot Violis, desainnya unik, warna putih, keren, pengen beud...
Here's the performance
Robot Pemain Terompet, desainnya hampir mirip sama yang Violis, unik ge..
Also in Quartet Band...
Robot Band Kuartet, berasa kayak di film-film nih
3. ASIMO
Honda has been very silent about Asimo, its super-advanced humanoid robot,
in recent years. After introducing the first version in 2000, Honda
showed several versions through 2005, until the company finally took the wraps off a new version earlier today in Tokyo. This model is the thinnest, fastest, and most “intelligent” Asimo yet.
At 48kg, the Asimo that was shown today is 6kg lighter than the
previous model. He now has 57 joints in his body (23 more) and walks at
9km/h (instead of 6km/h).
Honda says that Asimos’s improved “intelligence” makes it possible
for the robot to track a conversation between different people,
recognizing the faces and voices of everyone involved (even when several
people speak simultaneously).
Another plus in the intelligence department: Asimo can now
temporarily stop a certain action and resume it after performing a
different task in between (for example opening a can of beer and pouring
it into a glass – something, which wasn’t possible before either).
So, semua robot tersebut dibuat oleh Jepang, kapan Indonesia bikin ? Robot yang bisa maen gamelan ? Ntar deh gua bikinin, hahaha. Lagian ga nyambung juga, gua sekolah di SMA kimia tapi malah bikin robot.. ckck.
