World’s First Robotic Arm Controlled by Thoughts

thought_controlledResearchers based at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed the world’s first artificial limbs controlled by thought.The idea of Robotic arms controlled by thoughts , was Derived from the sci-fi movie that could soon become reality. Perhaps sooner you can imagine: The news comes from Sweden of the development of a prototype digital arm implantable in a human being with the ability to monitor their movements directly with the thought. The study by the researcher Ortiz Catalan, Chalmers University of Technology.

MIT:Flexible and Adaptable Robots,Capable of Changing Shape

MIT-Flexible-Adaptable-RobotsT-1000 , a robot that is able to take any form by changing the position of its body parts.  It seems that the MIT begins to take its first steps in the development of reconfigurable robots able to take any form .

The milli-motein , which is the name of this pre-robot developed by MIT, is a small device, shaped like a caterpillar and made with metal rings inspired by the reconfiguration of proteins, it has the ability to modify structure and take any shape.

Self Modeling - Can a Robot Learn Itself to Walk Alone

We’re used to seeing robots walking like ASIMO or AlphaDog in which engineers have invested time and effort in getting these machines to walk on two legs or four imitating a natural movement. In these cases, engineers have developed specific routines that allow to drive the servo motors that make the mechanical leg joints and the robot can walk. But would it be possible for a robot to learn to walk alone?
