Humanoid real robot

by Pakito, Adal and Pau ______________________________________________________________________________ Actroid is a type of android (humanoid robot) and with a strong visual human-likeness developed by Osaka University and manufactured by Kokoro Company Ltd. (the animatronics division of Sanrio). It was first unveiled at the 2003 International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. Several different versions of the product have been produced since then. In most cases, the robots appearance has been modeled after an average young woman of Japanese descent. The Actroid woman its a pioneer example for a real machine similar to imagined machines called by the science fiction terms android , so far used only for fictional robots. It can mimic such lifelike functions as blinking, speaking, and breathing. The Replic models are interactive robots with the ability to recognize and process speech and respond in kind.

Internal sensors allow Actroid models to react with a natural look using air actuators placed at many points of articulation in the upper part of the body. Early models had 42 points of articulation, later models have 47. So far, the movement in the lower part of the body is limited. The functioning of the sensory system of the robot on a par with their movements driven by air which is fast enough to react or defend intrusive movements, as a slap in the face or make a. The artificial intelligence that gives you the ability to react differently to other more gentle kinds of touch, such as a pat on the arm. The Actroid can also imitate human behavior - with small changes in the position, the head and eye movements and the appearance of breathing in his chest. In addition, the robot can teach to imitate human movements to a person who is using the points of reflection at key points in your body. By tracking the points with your visual system and the physical integrity of computing and the articulation movements that match what he sees, this movement can be learned by the robot and is repeated. The skin is composed of silicone and seems very realistic. Compressed air engines of the powers of the robot servo, and most of the computer equipment that operates the AI, are external to the unit. This is a factor contributing to the lack of capacity of locomotion robot. When it appears, the Actroid has always been sitting or standing, with strong support from behind. The interactive Actroids can also communicate on a rudimentary level with human beings alone. Microphones within those Actroids record the speech of a human being, and this sound is filtered to eliminate background noise - including the sounds of the own operation of the robot. Voice recognition software is used to convert the audio stream into words and phrases, which then they

can be processed by the IA of the Actroid is a verbal response, then is given through speakers external to the unit. In addition the interactivity is achieved through non-verbal methods. When he boarded, the interactive Actroids use a combination of floor sensors and omnidirectional vision sensors in order to maintain eye contact with the speaker. In addition, the robots can respond way limited to body language and tone of voice to change their own facial expressions, posture and vocal inflection. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actroid is a technological revolution that will give a big step and change in human life. This type of robot will come to facilitate the tasks that we perform on a daily basis, allowing us to perform tasks with more complexity. A big disadvantage is that there would be unemployment, sedentary lifestyle and there will not be interpersonal interaction.
