Kinova designs and produces personal robots. Its product, the Jaco robot, is a robotic arm mounted on electric wheelchair and is used for research and rehabilitation purposes.
Space Robot Robonaut 2 has just received his space legs, which allow him to assist astronauts with chores inside and outside the station, freeing up time for astronauts to do more research and other tasks.
Karlsruhe University developed a humanoid called ARMAR II. It has improved vision and arms, and can learn to improve its grasping abilities via touch of the object on its own.
ARMAR III is a humanoid robot developed by Karlsruhe University. It has size and proportion similar to that of a human, and can deal with household objects and general environment.
BARTHOC is a robot that learns through communicating with humans. Its functions are not preprogrammed; it picks up and executes instructions through robot-human interaction.
Denise is a pneumatically powered walking robot. It uses the concept of passive dynamic walking and is a natural looking biped robot. Denise has bending, extending knees.
KAIST developed the second robot in the HanSaRam series called HanSaRam II. This bipedal walking robot has the shape of a human body with different upper and lowers parts.
KAIST developed the third robot in the HanSaRam series called HanSaRam III. It has 22 DOFs and a camera for visual feedback, and can grasp objects with its claw-like hands.
KAIST developed the fifth robot in the HanSaRam series called HanSaRam V. With independent locomotion, sensing and processing, it can walk in patterns avoiding obstacles.
KAIST developed the sixth robot in the HanSaRam series called HanSaRam VI. It generates walking pace through 3D linear inverted pendulum mode, which makes easy to control motions.
KAIST developed the third robot in the HUBO series called HUBO KHR-3. It is a prototype humanoid which can play rock-paper-scissors because of independent motion of its fingers.
Humanoid Robotics Institute developed the interactive Systems for Humanoid Agent robot to harmonize machine and human environments naturally, intuitively and seamlessly.
Together with Beijing Smart Technology, Peking University created Mary: a female service robot. This robot has infrared sensors and can detect nearby people, greet them, and shake hands. Mary can index more than 100 people in its camera, play games,…
Max is a 2D robot built at the Delft University of Technology. The robot walks by only using an upper body, hip joints and knees. It makes use of McKibben muscles to offer minimal actuation for waling on a flat floor.
Developed by the Delft University of Technology, Meta is their first robot with electric actuation. The robot is capable of taking 3 cm step-downs in the floor as well as walking stably at a speed of 0.3 to 0.65 m/s. Meta is able to begin from a standstill…
International Robotics Inc. created a multi-lingual interactive robot called Millennia. It is remote-controlled and programmable, and it can interact and dance with a human.
Japan's Tohoku University created a dancing humanoid robot in 2005: the Partner Ballroom Dance Robot (PBDR). This robot can follow its partner's lead through sensors in its upper body and stands 5 1/2 feet tall. Its face was modeled after legendary beauty…
Household chores are easy with the help of Rollin’ Justin. This robot is the perfect helper with manipulation tasks, from catching objects to making a cup of coffee.
The pneumatic powered robot Shadow Walker was developed to help with research on humanoid walking. The goal is to make this robot function in a normal human environment.
Less sophisticated than the Spring Flamingo, Spring Turkey was mothballed in 1996. The planar bipedal robot had an un-actuated boom to prevent roll and lateral movement.
