Climbers gecko robot Robot That Can Master the World

 




During this gecko is only able to inspire people as examples of tattoo patterns or sablonan jerseys. But now the animal has managed to inspire a wily robot climbs. A scientist from Simon Fraser University managed to build a machine capable of climbing walls with moves like a tank. He also uses an adhesive to stick like a gecko, and develop a 'suction cup', claw or magnet. Not only that, the robot also has sensors that can detect ambient conditions and the varying direction.

Aldebaran Robotics' Nao

NAO is equipped with bells and whistles. It has limbs with 25 degrees of freedom, operable hands, stereo vision, voice recognition and synthesis and it’s driven by a programmable Linux operating system. You can progam NAO in either a graphical environment or code environment (Urbi scripting language, considered pretty easy to learn).

The programming environments of this bot are made to suit all ranges of skill. Of course, for average users they will definitely choose to program it in GUI mode. For those geeky ones, will want to try the coding environment. You can also program it via WiFi.

Besides being able to add software and behaviors via the bot’s programmable OS, you can also have little customization for the hardware, such as swapping its head out. The Nao is expected to hit the market in end of 2009, and as mentioned, the price shall be between $15,000 and $16,000. The Nao robot is only 23-inch tall, but he should be a pretty amusing one, since he carries all the bells and whistles. We have a video to show the Nao bot in action.

NAO is coming to Boston and Chicago during Robotics Week!

Join us at our Boston office for a very unique day! On the program: presentations and round-table discussion animated by Manuela Veloso (Carnegie Mellon University), Lynne Parker Jean Jacques Slotine (MIT), workshops


Nao is planting its flag in the USA!

Within the Robotics Week framework, Aldebaran Robotics is proud to announce the inauguration of an American subsidiary to enhance customer service and presence in the American market.

NATO to police Libya no-fly, compromises on command

By Maria Golovnina and Michael Georgy

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – NATO said it would enforce a Libya no-fly zone but stopped short of taking full command of U.N.-backed military operations to protect civilians from forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Coalition jets pounded targets in southern Libya on Thursday but failed to prevent government tanks re-entering the western city of Misrata, whose main hospital was besieged by armor and government snipers.
Western commanders hope rebel forces in eastern Libya will overthrow Gaddafi, but the return of tanks to Misrata under cover of darkness highlighted the difficulties they face in trying to force the Libyan leader to cease fire.
Rebels, who have set up an alternative government in their eastern stronghold in Benghazi, say they needed more ammunition and anti-tank weapons if they are to end Gaddafi's 41-year rule.
"We need arms and ammunition. This is our only problem," rebel military spokesman Colonel Ahmed Bani told a briefing.
France, Britain and the United States have spearheaded enforcement of the Libya no-fly zone imposed last week by the U.N. Security Council, which authorized "all necessary measures" to protect Libyan civilians against Gaddafi's forces.
But differences over the scope the U.N. resolution gave for military action against Gaddafi's army led to days of heated arguments within NATO about its role in the operation.
Turkey had wanted to be able to use its NATO veto to limit military operations against Libyan infrastructure and avoid casualties among Muslim civilians from air raids.
France argued NATO's command structure should run day-to-day military operations, leaving political control with an ad hoc steering group of coalition members, including the Arab League.
France believes having NATO in full charge would erode Arab support because of U.S. unpopularity in the Arab world. After four days of argument, NATO ambassadors in Brussels reached a deal of sorts.
"At this moment, there will still be a coalition operation and a NATO operation," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters. The alliance's mandate did not extend beyond enforcing the U.N. arms embargo and no-fly zone, he said.
NATO officials said a decision was expected on Sunday on whether to broaden the mandate to allow the organization to take command of all military operations and attack ground targets in the oil-producing country, in order to protect civilian areas threatened by Gaddafi's forces.
Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had told reporters: "The operation will be transferred completely to NATO and there will be a single command and control."
The United States, embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan, is keen to step back and play a supporting role in Libya, preserve alliance unity and maintain the support of Muslim countries for the U.N.-mandated intervention.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said military planners had been authorized to take on the "broader civilian protection mission" and NATO was well suited to do so.
The number of U.S. aircraft flying missions had dropped significantly as other nations increased their role, she said.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, for his part, told the Security Council there was no evidence Tripoli was complying with U.N. resolutions. His special envoy to Libya had warned Gaddafi's government of possible "additional measures" if Libya failed to comply with the ceasefire demand.
AIR STRIKES
The Libyan government denies its army is conducting any offensive operations and says troops are only defending themselves when they come under attack.
State television said Western jets struck military and residential areas of the capital Tripoli for a sixth straight night on Thursday, prompting bursts of anti-aircraft fire.
Libya said the civilian death toll from five days of coalition air strikes had reached almost 100 and accused Western governments of fighting on the side of the rebels. The toll could not be independently verified.
Western air strikes had earlier on Thursday destroyed government tanks outside Misrata, some 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli, but other tanks inside the city were not hit, a resident said.
Gaddafi's tanks slipped back into the city on Thursday and shelled the area near the hospital, residents and rebels said.
Government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said Libyan forces were in control of the city of 300,000 people, with only a hard core of rebels holding out.
But opposition spokesman Abdulbasset Abu Mzereiq said by telephone that rebels were still fighting there, and had killed 30 snipers who had been picking off civilians from rooftops in the town. Government warships had left the port.
Rebels and besieging government forces continued to clash around the eastern frontline town of Ajdabiyah, said Abu Musab, who left the town by car with his family of 10.
