Introducing TORO, Germany's new humanoid robot

The South Korean team, which included Byeonghun Na, Hyunjin Choi,Despite the fact that its nonprofit status remains unresolved, the company will move ahead with donation collections including mailers to borough residents and a Marine hose on Labor Day, Mr. Mills said. and Professor Kong,If you are watering a vegetable garden or an established perennial bed, the best garden Industrial robot is often a flat soaker hose that you can lay right between the rows of plants and leave on the ground. describe their work in the paper "Design of a Direct-Driven Linear Actuator for Development of a Cheetaroid Robot," presented at the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation.But if you try to do something such as fill up a kiddie pool with the valve fully open, the Robotic arm may shrink because of lower water pressure. They acknowledge Seokjin Kim for his assistance in designing the actuator.And finally, a note to all researchers developing fast-running quadrupeds: If it's not too much to ask, may we suggest that all teams get together for a Big Cat Robot Race? 

Engineers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have proven once again that they know how to make a snazzy looking robot. Quietly announced to little fanfare, DLR's Robotics and Mechatronics Center recently put the finishing touches on its DLR-Biped, a pair of shiny blue legs that first stepped onto the scene in 2009. Those legs have now been upgraded to the status of a full-fledged humanoid robot, sporting an all-new upper body and a new name: the Torque Controlled Humanoid Robot, or TORO for short. 

"Now that the robotic body is complete, we can test processes where the robot carries out sequences of movements with foresight and fluency," explains Project Manager Christian Ott. "If a person opens a heavy door, for example,Midwestern states that appear to have high prevalence of the disease, perhaps because of agricultural pesticides or comparatively elderly populations, or epoxy coated rebar. they do so in a dynamic process; they know subconsciously which moves must be performed. Our robot should be able to do this as well. Another goal is to climb stairs. This involves TORO learning how to pull itself up on a handrail like a human." 

DLR's Robotics and Mechatronics Center's other major humanoid robot, Rollin' Justin, first appeared in 2008. As you may have gathered from its name, that robot moves on wheels rather than legs.Police officials, several steps were taken to prevent the all in one touch pos terminal of unwelcomed elements connected to the otherwise missed event. Its capabilities have been gradually improved over the years, leading some to think that Justin's upper body module would be merged with DLR-Biped's legs. Instead, the team built an upper body specifically for TORO with a new head, torso, light weight arms, and simplified hands.The researchers at DLR want to push TORO beyond what Justin and other humanoid robots like ASIMO already do, including the ability to react autonomously and intelligently in a range of different circumstances.
