The Dutch Robotics project Mindwalker is a wearable robot "suit" designed to help disabled people walk again. Using Brain-Computer Interface technology, the exoskeleton will support the patient and trigger correct brain control signals. The end product…
The Myopro robotics project intends to increase the functionality of the Myoelectric prosthetic by improving the brain-to-mechanism signals. This will increase the degrees of freedom in these mechanisms, improve sensory feedback and help the owner to…
The PITON is the first steerable MRI compatible robotics instrument. This Dutch robotics project is a needle that is equipped with sensors that will pick up signals for the surrounding tissue. This will enable the robot to find the best way to administer…
Japanese robot Hina is a humanoid servant robot. Only 36 centimeters tall, it can still prepare and pour a cup of coffee. It does this by picking up remote control signals.
Maidroid is considered to be the world’s first entertainment humanoid robot. It was built by Maidroid lab in 2007. It is extremely advanced and has more than 10 degrees of freedom. Due to a lack of torque, the robot has many RC servo motors to strengthen…
MeBot is a telepresence robot developed by the MIT Personal Robotics Groups. Designed to improve video and phone conferencing, this robot displays the operator's face on the screen located in its head. This semi-autonomous robotic avatar has two small…
Founded by William Chalmers, the Chalmers University of Technology aims at becoming the most attractive universities in the world through internationally acclaimed research and education together with a professional innovation procedure.
STW aims at supporting technical sciences through scientific and technical research. A major goal of the foundation is to transfer knowledge between science and engineering users. STW is also investing in the medical field while participating in projects…
The SUNRISE project has developed a team of aquatic robots that are able to work together to scan the sea floor and communicate via the 'Internet of underwater things'
The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has recently had great success with Modular Prosthetic Limbs which was fully integrated in the body of a bilateral upper arm amputee.
Project Reflexleg aims to help people with prosthetic legs have more natural movement with the leg and to secure a natural connection of the leg and the prosthetic that goes in both directions. This Dutch Robotics project also hopes to make the leg work…
SUNRISE is a robotics project involving the research and development of acoustic based networks to support sub-surface communications and develop autonomous aquatic Swarm robots that can interact and cooperate.
Toshiba developed a gadget robot called ApriPoco which serves as a gateway of a voice command-able environment. It learns commands over time and responds to human voices.
Developed at the Delft Biorobotics Lab, Bob is a 3D Walking robot that is equipped with actuated ankles and knees. The passive dynamic biped lacks controls and is known for its 3D dynamic simulation as well as stability analysis.
HEXBUG is a series of small insect robots created by Ignition Inc. and Innovation First Inc. It was built to give children a constructive experience and approach with robots at a young age.
The Kismet is a robot created in 1997 by the robotics experts at MIT. It was designed to participate in human social interaction by having simulated human emotion and appearance. Since the robot's release, its replica was part of a traveling exhibit called…
CINVESTAV, a Mexican institution, developed the Kokone, a humanoid. It is mainly to be used as an affordable robotic platform for robotic vision algorithms and navigational strategies.
The Trilobite 2.0 is a vast improvement over the original. Not only does it recharge itself, a smart sensor allows it to map an entire room as it cleans the edges. It can even be used in difficult areas such as under furniture. Trilobite 2.0 has an electronic…
