MIMIC THE NATURE

hope that future generations know not only the whales through robotic faithful reproductions

Isaac Asimov was a scientist who ventured to move as would be the future through their books. His habit was to start the day waking up at 5 in the morning to immediately start writing science fiction stories that mostly described a robotics era. It is possible that to date no one has imagined so accurately the meaning of a society aided by all sorts of cybernetic creatures.

Now We are in the early 21 century and we can begin to get much of the progress of this scientific speaking. He predicted that we would begin with toys and pets. Currently they are creating machines that mimic animals, sometimes with a fidelity that commands respect (at the end of the article includes links to videos of great visual impact). Then it will be the turn of the androids (robots with human form).

A goldfish? No! A robot exactly!

Beyond imagination, creating machines currently being worthy of all sorts of praise. On the one hand, autonomous robots are made, practical occupations as tedious as cleaning and the other, is being developed, the first robot that is designed to support, assist and be part of our leisure. The latter move like real animals, with designs in amazing shapes and sizes. There are those that mimic insects, worms, birds, dogs, fish, jellyfish ...

Robots can take the form dictated by our imagination and our interests

ROBOTS "AQUATIC?

mechanical creatures Technology offers increasingly realistic

In Japan there is a real passion for robotics. One of the biggest attractions are the artificial fish present in all types of events. Have different shapes, such as sea bream and carp, and move with surprising realism, thanks to technology originally designed to improve the propulsion of ships.

This artificial coelacanth is moving at a speed of 0.3 knots (about 15 cms per second). Its length is 83 cm, weighing 13.5 kg and the price per rental for a week would cost 720,000 yen a month and a whopping 1,200,000 yen!

robot fish reproduce accurately the movement of real fish. This technology has three objectives:

futures giant fish seem submarines

1. You want to apply to future submarines, so they can move with the same agility to maneuver the fish (submarine currently have over path linear-like projectile motion).

minute Whales "in an aquarium?

2. Creating replicas of living organisms or imaginative designs for our entertainment. This is not to create toys, but mechanical creatures that perfectly simulate the real thing. There are projects which aim to miniaturize educational aquarium animals such as the great whales.

Robots "spying under the sea?

3. military purposes and intelligence, independent and autonomous units able to record, track and act upon specific stimuli previously scheduled.

A group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT for its acronym in English) is working on the idea of \u200b\u200brobots evolve. In the aspect that interests us investigate the modernization of underwater vehicles. His commitment is to create robots for mapping marine examine shipwrecks or to scan underwater mines.

prototype submarine-fast and agile fish

To recreate the movements of these fish robot, MIT researchers have divided the pectoral fins in 19 different components. At first the models were too coarse for the size of the engines, so I finally resorted to a flexible polymer, thin, with ability to conduct electricity well. The end result, scientists say, is promising because robots are achieved with strong drive, but still needs to confess to adjust the speed and agility.

This same team of scientists (MIT) in collaboration with engineers from Carnegie Mellon University (Pennsylvania), has also designed a small robot, one gram of weight able to walk on water.

A robot that mimics a hydrometer whose cost does not exceed $ 11. The technique of sliding on the water has been applied to this robot, who becomes the favorite candidate of the future scientific exploration of water reservoirs and the best watch of quality for human consumption because it could detect toxins. For aquariums and ponds could be useful to estimate parameters and stabilize

This machine is a prototype for now. It looks like a water bug (hydrometer), measures only 1.25 inches, is made of fiber carbon and has eight legs with plastic coated steel water repellent. Are these legs that allow you to move and stand on the aquatic environment.

This robot does not yet have electronic brain and sensors, but its mechanism is triggered by a series of muscles consisting of three electric switches controlled by other circuits connected to a power source.

The London Aquarium kids do not get over their astonishment at these fish as flashy

The London Aquarium robot fish exhibited the kind G-9.3. It is the ninth generation of this type of mechanical creature that leaves visitors dazzled by its bright colors and sinuous movements. It is actually a computer capable of moving on its own stimulus: his eyes are glass infrared sensors polarized as the one used for sunglasses. Its creator is George Simas, Master in Computer Science and a member of China Hu Huoseng.

As time progresses, this type of robot learns to reduce the energy needed to move, using a type of pump to coordinate their movements in the water. In addition to its four infrared sensors to avoid hitting the glass aquarium. The idea is to miniaturize its current size.

production chain of these robots has already begun at the company Shirayama Corporation. Its price reaches 220,000 euros. Despite its metallic appearance, people think it is a real fish.

FESTO pioneered realistic creations that move as living creatures

.

remarkable the work of the company whose designs FESTO are incredible machines that not only look based on animals but also how they move. This company is actively involved with vocational training centers and universities around the world and is a reference to a new understanding of robotics.

AQUARIUMS WITH ROBOTS

all know that the aquarium contains living organisms. It is quite possible that in the future of robotics arrives at the aquarium, making them self-sufficient in three ways:

1. Aquariums smart. Already on the market small computers that control the whole aquarium mechanics (lighting, water flows, filter, food stabilizers and water chemistry). In the not too distant even own aquariums ensure the health and vitality of their bodies properly maintained.

2. Small autonomous robots that will help us keep our tanks perfectly from within. Small machines will be programmed to safeguard the proper balance of the tanks. These mechanisms waste cleaned more deeply hidden, will make real gardeners will be able to act urgently as doctors or nurses.

3. There will be small automata to be perfect replicas of typical organisms in aquariums. Also completely original cybernetic creatures designed by their shapes and colors. This is defined in two classifications: creating fully realistic virtual aquarium synthetic existing appearance aquarium art with synthetic or designed under criteria imaginative.

A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF CURRENT CLEANING ROBOT

Most large tanks open to the public have real problems cleaning their tanks despite having powerful systems for water filtration. This cleaning is usually done at night when no one else can see.

How thoroughly clean a giant aquarium?

.

Aquarium in Osaka (Japan) one of the most gigantic of the world, where one of the larger tanks with the not inconsiderable amount of 11,000 tons of water, had to find a solution to cleaning. The challenge was to create a functional system that would damage or fish or any living organism there maintained. Finally we worked on a cleaning robot, whose mission is to clean the substrate more efficiently. This robot is equipped with a video camera which also serves to monitor inaccessible corners of the large tank.

NOTE: As human beings generally seek comfort and less complication, this type of aquarium virtual will become a new form of entertainment and decoration in the nearest future we think. Surely there will be many detractors People who criticize virtual ecosystems. The reality is that the genuine and authentic will never be surpassed in satisfaction with the artificial. But this is an ethical dilemma that will arise with all types of robots, including androids in human form.
