Internet Robot

By
Out of many types of humanoid robot available in the market, I found it very impressive. It has a variety of capabilities. It speaks, recognizes human voice, walks, dances, searches and reads aloud emails and web-site information for a user, and does more, being controlled over the internet as far as wireless broadband environment is secured for the robot. With a video camera build in, it has image recognition capability as well. It is small (33 cm height) and light (1.5 kg), but could work as an avatar located in a distance place and provides a pleasant escape from the routine of everyday life. Imagine a jazz band of four robot players! You can see a video movie clicking a picture you can get here.

More importantly, the robot capability can be continuously enhanced and grown by users, who might be used to pc-software development, because the application development software interface is opened for that purpose at no cost.

A type number of the robot is SPC-101C, designed and supplied by Speecys Corporation founded on December 6th, 2001 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Wireless High-definition Quality Video Transmission Units

By
This system that consists of a receiver (left) and a transmitter wirelessly enables HD (30 frames/sec) quality video and stereo sounds transmission but with no compression and no delay time. The supplier, Giga Techno Vision's blog says the system is well secured because of its proprietary and patented technologies that differ its digital modulation method from wireless LAN. - Frequency Area 2.4GHz - Transmission power: 10 mW - Radio Channel Capacity 4ch Maximum - Diversity Method: Space-diversity 2 antennas - Size (Tx & Rx each): 110(W) x 80(Ｄ) x 30(Ｈ)mm - Weight (Tx & Rx each): approximately 300g - Transmission distance: 500 m outdoors (up to 3 km) There seem to be various applications, such as remote monitoring, CCTV, home video theater application, surveillance systems, etc. I hope in the near future the system become one single chip for receiver and transmitter each. When the chip becomes available, it will significantly broaden its applications to personal and ...

Intelligent humanoid robot that can learn and make decision by itself

By
This reminds me of the famous movie film screened more than 40 years ago.  HAL was the name of computer that kicked out people from the space ship because it learnt the people's minds from their lips that they had questions on HAL's loyalty. Growing with further development of hardware and software capabilities, this humanoid robot may have the capability that controls real humans. I hope it will not come true and real even in the future space where highly intelligent humanoid robots will have to have strict limitation not to control humans. 8/24/11

Holographic Display

By
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has announced that the institute successfully developed the electron holography method stereoscopic technology which enables the ultimate viewing zone angle of 15 degrees and 4 cm diagonal display size color video display .  In this development, by applying its own display technology to increase viewing area to high-resolution device with  3300  mega-pixels, the newly developed device is able to gain three time wider viewing zone angles than  conventional devices and about two times broader two times broader video  holographic display. It seems that 3D video display technology development is accelerated to bring us to a virtually "real" world without glasses. Source: NICT's news release (Japanese) 9/28/10
