| Modular Snake Robots |
 |
Snake robots can use their many internal
degrees of freedom to thread through tightly
packed volumes and access locations that
people and machinery otherwise cannot. These
highly articulated devices can coordinate
their internal degrees of freedom to perform
a variety of locomotive gaits that go beyond
the capabilities of conventional wheeled and
legged robots. The true power of these
devices is their versatility; they can crawl,
climb, swim, and scale flights of stairs.

| The Cornell Ranger Robot |
 |
Andy Ruina, Professor of Theoretical and
Applied Mechanics and Professor of Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering, talks briefly on
the building and function of the Cornell
Ranger robot. Jason Cortell, Biorobotics Lab
Manager, and Gregory Stiesberg, graduate
student in physics, demonstrate other walking
machines they developed in the Biorobotics
and Locomotion Laboratory at Cornell
University. Visit http://www.syracuse.com for

| Keio Robotic Skin : DigInfo |
 |
DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv - By using
the surface ridges of skin as model, The
Biorobotics Laboratory at Keio University
have developed Robotic Skin which can imitate
the sense of touch. The team is currently
researching how to integrate this with their
robotic hand and tactile display systems,
which could in the future be used to transmit
and replicate tactile information using a
robot as an intermediary. The Robot Skin can
also be used to recognize the strength needed
to grip an object and adjusts its grip
automatically. Future uses include working
with hazardous materials, on unmanned flights
or in extreme conditions.

| LSTAT |
 |
Developed in the Bio Robotics Lab at the
Carnegie Mellon University.
he LSTAT (Life Support for Trauma and
Transport) system incorporates many of the
functions of an ICU, but is contained
entirely within a stretcher. It houses a
defibrillator, an oxygen supply, a
ventilator, and various forms of
physiological monitoring. It was built and
developed by Integrated Medical Systems,
Inc., and is currently in use in both Iraq
and Afghanistan.

| A dynamic single actuator vertical climbing robot |
 |
This is a video of a single actuated 1-joint
robot built at the Manipulation and
Biorobotics labs at the Robotics Institute -
Carnegie Mellon University. By using dynamic
motions, it is possible to build a 1-joint
robot that climbs up a parallel chute. The
test-bed is an air-table which keeps the
mechanism planar.

Mason. "A dynamic single actuator vertical
climbing robot". In Proc. of IEEE/RSJ

Robots and Systems (IROS'07), San Diego, CA,

| Keio Robotic Hand : DigInfo |
 |
DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv - The basis
for what could be the next generation of
tactile robotic hands has been developed by
the Biorobotics Laboratory at Keio
University. Consisting of a robotic hand, and
a tactile sensor and display system, in the
future we may be able to feel what the
robotic hand is sensing. In the previous
prototype, the actuators which control the
motion within the joints were on the palm of
the hand, increasing the weight and limiting
movement, but using tiny ultrasonic motors as
the controls system, this human sized hand
weighs 350 grams and has a reflex system
twice as fast as that of a person.
