The AR Drone is one of the first consumer products to combine robotics with augmented reality. The quad-rotor vehicle carries two cameras and can stream video to an iPhone via Wi-Fi. On the phone, the live video is overlaid with flight controls and additional graphics for a variety of games.
Advanced musculoskeletal humanoid robot Kojiro. Developed at the JSK Robotics Laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Demo of spine motion.
Robot-style March Madness inspiring kids in science and engineering, covered by IEEE Spectrum
Developed by Jun Ho Oh at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology’s Humanoid Robot Research Center (Hubo Lab).
This past Saturday, IEEE Spectrum visited NYC Resistor’s “Art, Design, and the Arduino Microcontroller: a lineage” gallery party. Curated by Alicia Gibb, the show was a loving tribute. The collection ranged from early Arduino prototypes to modern projects made with the microcontroller. Highlights included toy cars hacked to paint like Jackson Pollack, a coffee table that cleans itself, and LED jackets that lit up as you moved.
Researchers at the JSK Robotics Laboratory at the University of Tokyo demonstrate the Personal Mobility Robot (PMR) controlled with a Wiimote.
Honda demonstrates its U3-X personal mobility machine for IEEE Spectrum reporter Anne-Marie Corley.
Hubo II running demo. Developed by Jun Ho Oh at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology’s Humanoid Robot Research Center (Hubo Lab).
Developed by Maja Matarić at the University of Southern California’s Interaction Lab.
As part of the DARPA Learning Locomotion program, Dr. Stefan Schaal at the University of Southern California’s Computational Learning and Motor Control Lab is investigating legged locomotion with the quadruped robot Little Dog developed by Boston Dynamics.
