Although it’s not as cool as NAO robot that could dance like a real human, T-82 robot has done quite an achievement because it can be served as a public kid’s entertainment as this one-eye fellow can scoops candy into a plastic bag for them.

Despite of its heavyweight looking, T-82 robot is pretty lightweight because it has been crafted using ultra-compact, lightweight actuator and control unit. T-82 has three fingers on each hand, and the fingers have three joints to grab something in a more natural ways like our fingers. Besides scooping candies, T-82 is also capable of performing bottle cap opening with one hand.

If you stay quite awhile in the robotic world, you might have known the cute little Murata girl robot that ride on a unicycle while balancing herself from dropping. This Murata Girl robotic unicyclist is now hitting the third version.

Unlikely its predecessors where it can only move backward or forward in a straight line beam, the third version now can balance herself while riding through a lightly curved S-shaped balance beam! Pretty a great improvement from the previous model. However, the third version still cannot turning around to make another circus job, but it’s been a great work already!

This Murata Girl robotic unicycle rider is going to be on its very own show at the upcoming CEATEC Show in October 2010. We’ll keep you reported on this topic!

A clever Japanese named Tomotaka Takahashi has created a super cute child size robot called Lopid (or ROPID). This cute robot looks very cool, like Astroboy, can hear voice commands, can jumpd, can walk like a cheerful baby, can get up by himself and can even balance himself to prevent drop. Oh, damn! It’s so adorable!

ROPID was produced by Tomotaka with the help of some liquid brains in Kyoto University. Overall height is about 38cm only, while it weight in 1,600g or 1.6 kilogram, as light as a netbook I guess.

Wonderful, it seems the robotic toy for modern children is getting interesting. The only fact that they haven’t revealed yet were the release date and pricing. I wonder if this cute ROPID robot will cost a fortune to own one…

Cute Household robots has been rolled out from RayTron’s sleeve, a company based in Japan. THis cute robots were entitled as ‘Chapit’, a cute robot that has been equipped with voice recognition technology so the robot can actually react and respond to your voice command. The Chapit also can communicate using a gesture based movement and even your facial expressions. Looks pretty cool, but I wonder why we need such a thing in our home. Have we grow lazy as the technology develops?

I’m not sure why, but technology has made lots of us lazy and starting to lost our roles. May be human in the future will become like a Big Headed Alien with skinniest body.

Why? Less movement and too much thinking!:twisted:

So, is Care-o-Bot useful? Hmm… I’ll rather choose a beauty lady as my helper than a robot!

But Care-o-bot is a smart robot. It won’t break glasses and plates, and it also capable to serves your guests some beverages.
