Robots with artificial intelligence

  Aquanaut Aquanaut is an unmanned underwater vehicle that can transform itself from a nimble submarine designed for long-distance cruising into a half-humanoid robot capable of carrying out complex manipulation tasks. It can inspect subsea oil and gas infrastructure, operate valves, and use tools. Houston Mechatronics was started by former NASA roboticists who worked on advanced technologies used in complex space missions. Founders Matt Ondler, Reg Berka, and Nic Radford want to bring their robotics expertise to industries that include energy, offshore oil and gas, defense, and seabed mining. They have raised more than US $23 million in venture capital since starting HMI in 2014. The company, based in Houston, Texas, is developing an all-electric underwater transforming vehicle called Aquanaut . It combines the capabilities of both an underwater autonomous vehicle, or AUV, and a remotely operated underwater vehicle, or ROV. When in AUV mode, it can travel long distances of up to ...

  ROBOT HRP-5P HRP-5P is an advanced humanoid capable of using power tools and handling large objects like drywall sheets. It's the latest model in the HRP series of Japanese humanoids, and is designed as an R&D platform umio Kanehiro (Leader), Kenji Kaneko (Chief Senior Researcher), Takeshi Sakaguchi (Senior Researcher), and others of the Humanoid Research Group, the Intelligent Systems Research Institute (Director: Yoshihiro Kawai), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST; President: Ryoji Chubachi), have developed a humanoid robot prototype, HRP-5P, intended to autonomously perform heavy labor or work in hazardous environments. As a 182 cm, 101 kg humanoid robot, HRP-5P was built on HRP series technologies by incorporating new hardware technologies. Within the series, it has unsurpassed physical capabilities. Its robot intelligence comprises environmental measurement and object recognition, full-body motion planning and control, task descri...
