Autonomous Robot for Underwater Intervention Tasks Successfully Tested


Researchers from the national project RAUVI [Reconfigurable autonomous underwater vehicle for intervention], which is coordinated by Pedro Sanz, a lecturer of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the UJI, have successfully tested the autonomy of the robot for developing underwater intervention tasks. The robot has managed to recover an object similar to an aircraft black box without the direction of any operator. All these experiments have formed the basis for makinga demonstration before experts of the European Commission during the annual review of TRIDENT European project, which is also coordinated by the Universitat Jaume I.

Applying Neuroscience to Robot Vision

Neuroscience
Scientists have attempted to replicate human attributes and abilities such as detailed vision, spatial perception and object grasping in robots.

After three years of intense work, the members of EYESHOTS* have made progress in controlling the interaction between vision and movement, and as a result have designed an advanced three-dimensional visual system synchronized with robotic arms which could allow robots to observe and be aware of their surroundings and also remember the contents of those images in order to act accordingly.

They have left, leaving me with the taste of their company so sweet,
Jeejal mother! tears of separation from them will kill me."

Now, you are old, you are feeble, you are alone, you are under siege and you are dying! You need them!! They are there no more! They have left you to fend for yourself - they have foresaken you, they have abandoned you. Yes, tears of separation from them will kill you!

Is It a Phone? Is It Paper? It's the Origami Phone!

What phone is this?

Created by Chengyuan Wei, the paper Origami handset comes flat,and then like a pop-up book, changes into a 3D handset with a few key folds.

Wei was inspired to create the recyclable handset after taking apart a standard telephone headset and realizing just how simple its construction was. The designer was also mindful that new phones come to market on a weekly basis, but don't demonstrate much in the way of design changes.
