Humanoid Robot HR-2

Posted by timothy on from the bip-bip-bip-bork-bork-bip dept.

Denix writes "The HR-2 humanoid robot was constructed during a period of three months at Chalmers University in Sweden. It has 22 degrees of freedom which enables it to easily move around imitating human motions. The robot is also equipped with stereovision giving it possibilities to perform hand-eye coordination. For that task an artificial neural network is evolved. Furthermore, the artificial brain is capable of tracking faces as well as recognising them. The HR-2 is also able to speak. The website also contains a movie (35.5 MB) of the HR-2 in action."

    Here's a test of the new BitTorrent trackerless torrents, let's see how they hold up. You'll need the latest beta 4.1.3 from BitTorrent.com

  2. Forget the robot.... by d474 · · Score: 5, Informative

    I was more impressed with that hot European chick "playing" with the robot. He's all "show me your move", she moves the object up and down, and then little robot starts a movement closly resembleing masturbation. OMG LOL!!! It was even funnier because that girl is so cute....

  3. Looks a lot like the Kondo KHR-1 by thzinc · · Score: 5, Informative

    This looks a lot like the Kondo KHR-1 mentioned a while ago here, but a bit more advanced. Looks like some pretty nice enhancements, though, I do agree with a lot of other /.'ers in that I would like more information.

    Actually, it'll be interesting to see how the server holds up. The Chalmers U. network (http://www.cdg.chalmers.se/Natverk/chalmers_bbng. gif) isn't too shabby with Gigabit Ethernet internally, and a 15 GBit/s Internet link (http://www.nordu.net/maps/map_nordunet.png).
