Techno Station looks at the robotics very keenly. This let us present to our readers some of the newer trends and also allow us to predict what is coming in future. No, this is not a crystal ball gaze, rather our empirical observations.

Like any other invention, concept of automated guided vehicles have grown out of sheer necessity. Ask the warehouse workers and thy will tell you how they need lift trucks to do their work effectively. Read the rest of this article »

Robotics is developing and robots are reaching the next level of self-awareness (sort of). Honda's ASIMO humanoid robot can now be controlled with thought alone - and with a little help from brain machine interface technology. Distinguishing brain activities with high precision without any physical motion, but just human thought alone has become possible. Read the rest of this article »

Readers of Techno Station might remember mention of Robotic Fish that will navigate underwater and will help measure sea pollution. Have a look at this four leg robot that is designed to do some work autonomously underwater. It's loaded up with touch sensors that allow it to keep itself stable in strong currents and also delicately grip objects in its claws without breaking anything. Read the rest of this article »

Robots are reaching the level what we see in science fiction such as Star Wars. Now British scientists have developed (at the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex) Robotic fish that they are planning to release into the sea to detect pollution. Yes. Robots will enter the sea at the port of Gijon in northern Spain as part of a three-year research project. Read the rest of this article »

Advanced Step In Innovative Mobility (Asimo) is one of a very few robots that can walk reliably on two legs. It is fitted with twin cameras in its head and is powered by 34 individual motors.

Lately, researchers at the Honda Research Institute has demonstrated the invention by using it to move the arms and legs of an Asimo humanoid robot. Honda hopes that by 2020 the robot will be in the market, affordable and capable enough, to help with simple tasks. An elaborate electronic helmet will allow the wearer to control a robot by thought alone. Read the rest of this article »

Mowing a lawn is a healthy activity and hobby for some and it is a tough labor for many others. Mowing an undulating hillside is ever harder hassle.

Those who need to mow the hillside like any other landscape must try a lawn mower that looks like a tank and work wonderful. Have a look at the Evatech GOAT Robot 22T. Evatech is a corporation that is famous for using innovation, creativity, and engineering to design and develop easy to use residential and commercial products. Read the rest of this article »

Let me start this post with one old personal observation. I remember the time when newspapers were composed manually. An army of composers used to sit in lines and put the words together for us to read with morning cup of tea. That was old time. Now things have changed. Now when I go to newsroom, I see few people sitting on computers who quickly type and the print is off the stone in a jiffy. Technologies have taken over jobs done by human hands.

Honda Motor is a very innovative concern focused on mobility. In addition to cars and motorbikes, Honda has lately (April last year) displayed experimental model of a walking assist device which could support walking for the elderly and other people with frail health and or weak legs. The intensive study of human walk as well as the research and development of modern technologies on the project started as back as 1999. The project is well underway now.

The Experimental Walking Assist is design to be worn with a belt around the hip and thigh and its own weight is just 2.8kg. This light device reduces (read balances) the user's load on leg muscles and knees by supporting a portion of the users’ weight and can fit to different body shapes. Read the rest of this article »
