Asimo Robot

Asimo Robot adalh output from honda japan technology, according to sources Asimo is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility." Asimo regarded as the world's most advanced humanoid robot with a height of 130 cm and weight 54 kg. The robot developed by Honda Motor Co.., Ltd.
Asimo was born on October 31, 2000 from the R & D program robotic Honda which was founded in 1986. Led by Mr. Masato Hirose, Senior Chief Engineer of the Wako Research Institute, Honda R & D Co.., Ltd.., Chestnut robot development team created a robot that can be a friend to man. This dream led to the concept of "uniting the various mechanical functions with advanced technologies to improve the quality of human life," the underlying road map for Honda in the development of robots. Fund created to make robots better than a wasteful luxury cars made fuel.
In the past 14 years, Honda has developed seven experimental robot and three robot prototypes. After many efforts, this project to fruition in 2000 with the official launch as a representative of Asimo humanoid robot technology.
ASIMO is now the second generation which is a refinement of the first generation ASIMO robot that was introduced in 2000. Asimo mobility technologies are now experiencing rapid development than previous generations, with various capabilities such as moving in a circle pattern and ran up to the speed of 6 km / hour. Asimo the ability to interact with humans or other objects are also more perfect, as welcome guests, walking bergadengan by human hands, carrying a tray, and push the train.
Various technological developments are achieved through research and development of ASIMO, including posture control technology, image and voice recognition technology, as well as collision avoidance technologies are also the basis for Honda's development of technologies applied in other fields, including safety technology in cars. Application of advanced technologies on the product close to the daily life of humans is in line with what the foundation in the creation of ASIMO, the dream that the technology and life to walk together in harmony.

Nao Robot

Another humanoid robot that automatically and can be reprogrammed and medium-sized. This robot was developed by a French company that is Aldebaran Robotics.

Here's video footage of the Nao robot.

Assemble their own robots with the Bioloid

Bioloid robot kit is composed of several parts that we can assemble a robot you want. And this one is not a robot toy kids age 7, because the parts are provided adequate technical and require considerable knowledge (not necessarily a genius). With the Bioloid, we can assemble a robot kind whatever, as long as we have sufficient parts. Then program the motion and the nature of the robot using the software provided. Examples of movement that can be applied is a transformation, for example, form the beginning was the car, then can be automatically transformed into a robot standing. Can be connected directly with PC / Laptop (USB / Wireless) or by radio control. Can be fitted with cameras to laser heat. Then there is also a sound detector, light, distance, etc.. Anyway dijadiin any kind could: roll:
How does it work?. Major part in moving the robot Bioloid is Dynamixel, which is a kind of R / C servo (dynamo), but different from the R / C servo usual, Dyamixel work in a network that has a feedback function. That way, all Dynamixel the Bioloid can cooperate with each other to send feedback.

 

List Dynamixel
For example, to create a robot hand, it needed 3 shafts, namely the shoulder, elbow and wrist. So we need the 3 Dynamixel. One placed on the shoulder, the elbow and the last on the wrist. Then to do the wave motion (for example), then the third Dynamixel communicate with one another in doing every movement for the hand axes that can simulate wave motion. Simple right?. A large number of Dynamixel on a robot depends on our design. Consider it for a hand / foot needed 3 dynamixel, it would require about 12 dynamixel (or more) to create a robot resembles a human. But it all went back to the design that we have, because with the slightest amount Dynamixel we still can make the desired robot provided designnya right.

The next part is no less important is the CM-5, this is the main part that controls all Dynamixel. Since this is centralnya, so for a robot is usually only need 1 piece of CM-5. Part of this can be spelled out as a small computer, in which there are various kinds of instructions that move every Dynamixel. We do not have to worry about this part, because he works automatically according to the instructions given. Simply put it in our robot and connecting it to all Dynamixel. CM-5 receive instruction from PC / controller to then give the command to Dynamixel to move.

Then the next component is the software, including software Bioloid The Behavior Control Programmer and Three-Dimensional Motion Editor. Once we assemble the robot according to our design, then we connect it with the software to make the movements and properties of the robot. The properties of these robots is the case when the detector detects voice sounds so dB, it will make certain movements, and so forth. Then the motion editor software can also be used to make complex movements of the robot, for example is a robot car that turned into a soldier, or vice versa.Editing movement and the nature of robot 

The third part which is the main key bioloid. With PC / Laptop, we turn on the software that has been provided, then connect your PC / Laptop with the CM-5 we are in bioloid using the USB cable provided, then the robot bioloid was ready to operate. By way of work as follows: PC / Laptop to send instructions to the CM-5, later CM-5 receive instruction and ordered Dynamixel to move.
Then the parts which are also controlled by the CM-5 is the Sensor Module (AX-S1), this part is enabled to detect the distance, detect voice, and so forth.
The next parts are the frame, the casing-casing that can be affixed to a small section of the body of the robot, then screws, wires, stickers, and so forth.

I think Bioloid suitable for educating students in studying the principles of robotics and the hobbyst. With parts and software that has been provided, we can design our robot at will and apply the motion and nature.
Bioloid itself in paketan and sold separately. For the package, there are types Beginner (beginners) that contains a CM-5, 4 Dynamixel, 1 sensor module, battery, external power, CD, manuals, and other accessories parts. Then other packages are Comprehensive and Expert, which contain more parts and can apply more things. Bioloid also sold separately, where we can buy dynamixel and other parts separately.
The price?. Bioloid Beginner to that package, sell for USD349. If you live in Indonesia, perhaps the total will be USD420 after plus postage (DHL). I personally assess the price is not cheap, and not expensive. Not cheap because the price of the parts which can be obtained not many (only 4 dynamixel, perhaps because it Beginner Packet). And not expensive due to hobyist category, was this price quite reasonable, and we can make robots with ease without the need for super-genius brain. Imagine the people who make robots from scratch: roll:.
The next package which sells for USD899 Comprehensive and Expert sold at USD2.999. But I think the beginner kit will suffice to muasin hobby before starting the advanced stage.

Robots History

Robot creation of modern humans then? If you answered yes, then it's wrong. The robot was created by ancient man. Once the robot has not been called because the term was only used in the 1920s. Robots are also created by various people and cultures, ranging from Pre-History to the Modern era. Robot Pre History is much different than modern. Once the robot is moved using the water, while now by the machine. Here is the history of robots.

Robot Pre History
  The idea of ​​making the puppets or robots is triggered automatically at the time of Ancient Greece. In the myth there Tunanui in describing the god who has the servants who worked mechanically. The Persians and the Chinese also think the idea of ​​making the puppets that can move itself.
The work of the world's first robot in clepsydra admit is, namely a water clock. This tool is found in Greek physician around the year 250 BC. Water clock called a robot due to meet one condition, that can move automatically.
Clepsydra
Modern Robots
  Historical development of modern robots can not escape from the figure of Nikola Tesla.
He is a mechanical engineer, inventor, and physicist who later became bloody Serbian Americans. He played a major role to find ways of working electro-magnetic at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. He is introducing wireless communications in 1893. Electromagnetic findings are very helpful development of remote control, radar, and computer science.
    1930's Westinghouse company make human-like robot named Electro. While the first modern robot named Elsei Bristol also called Tortoise. But robots are really modern that can digitally operated, programmable, and can touch is named Unimate.
Mechanical Tortoise
25 March 2950.

 

 

And this is the History of Travel Robot.
In 1206: the first human-shaped robot in the form of automatic musicians. shaped like a boat mechanic, found Al-Jazari
Year 1495: Design's first robot that successfully recorded. The form of artificial mechanical sword Leonardo da Vinci
In 1738: a mechanical robot that can be shaped duck-epakkan flapping its wings, created by Jacques de Vaucanson.
1898: The first machine is operated from a distance, dipamerin in Madison Square. His invention is Nikola Tesla
1920: The word robot was first discovered by Karel Capek
Year 1930: the early human-like robots on display at World's Fairs in 1930 named Electro
Year 1942: The word robot is used in a story titled Science Fiction by Isaac Asimov Runaround
Year 1948: Robot Couple having a case of human behavioral biology, Elsie and Elmer. This robot is found William Grey Walter
Year 1956: The first robot company founded by George Devol and Joseph Engleberger are patented in the name of Devol
Year 1956: The idea of ​​Artificial Intelligence in cetuskan conference in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, by Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy
Year 1975: Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm, or PUMA created by Victor Scheinman
Year 1981: Kenji Urada, factory workers in Japan, was the first killing of a robot.

10 Foods for Intelligent Child

Research shows, a lack of minerals and vitamins that are important to the brain can reduce mental alertness of the brain. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, combined with meat and fish to provide for major minerals and vitamins needed for physical and mental health.
What are some foods that can stimulate the growth of brain cells, improve function, improve memory and concentration and thinking of children? Here are 10 foods recommended by Dr. Saridian Satrix W, SpGK:
1. SalmonSalmon is the best source of omega 3-fatty acids DHA and EPA, which are both essential for growth and development of brain function. The new research also showed that people who earn more fatty acid intake has a sharper mind and recorded satisfactory results in testing capabilities. Omega-3 fatty acid content per 100 grams of fish for salmon is 2.2 grams. Needs of children in omega 3 per day is 1.2 grams.
2. EggsEggs are known as an important source of protein which is relatively cheap and the price is quite affordable. Egg yolk was solid part will contain choline, a substance that can help the development of memory or memory. The content of choline in 1 large egg is 126 mg. Compare with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter that contains only 20 mg and 300 grams of beef degan content of 66 mg choline. Children's needs will choline 200-375 mg per day.
3. Peanut butterGroundnut (peanut) that many processed into peanut butter is one source of vitamin E. This vitamin is a source of antioxidants that can protect nerve cell membranes. Together with thiamin, vitamin E helps the brain and nervous system in use glucose for energy needs. Every 2 tablespoons of peanut butter contains 2.9 mg of vitamin E, while the needs of children between 4-10 mg per day.
4. Other NutsPeanut is a special food because these foods have the energy derived from protein and complex carbohydrates. In addition, nuts are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nuts are also good food for the brain because they can maintain the energy and thinking ability of children at its peak in the afternoon if consumed when maakn afternoon. According to the research, red beans and pinto beans contain more omega-3 fatty acids than other nuts, especially ALA, omega-3 type of origin are important for growth and brain function.
5. Whole grainsThe brain requires glucose supply or preparation of the body that are constant. Whole grains have the ability to support those needs. Fiber contained in whole grains may help regulate the release of glucose in the body. Wheat also contains vitamin B which serves to maintain nervous system health. Wheat contains vitamin B, 1.5 mg per 100 grams. While the requirement of vitamin B in children is 1 mg per day.
6. OatmealOatmeal is one of the most popular types of cereals among children and rich in essential nutrients for the brain. Oatmeal can provide the energy or fuel for the brain a much needed children's activities started in the morning. Rich in fiber, oatmeal will keep your child's brain needs are met throughout the morning. Oatmeal is also a source of vitamin E, vitamin B, potassium, d of zinc which makes the body and brain to function at full capacity. The content of vitamin E in 250 grams of oatmeal is 0.08 mg. The content of vitamin B 0.26 mg per 250 grams of oatmeal and zinc 6.19 mg per 250 grams of oatmeal.
7. GiveFamily groups berries (strawberries, cherries, blueberries), the stronger the color the more nutrients they contain. Give contain high levels of antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which is useful to prevent cancer. Some research suggests those who get the extracts of blueberries and strawberries experienced improvements in the functioning of his memory. Seeds from these berries was also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
8. Colorful vegetablesTomatoes, red sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, and spinach are the vegetables that are rich sources of nutrients and antioxidants that will keep brain cells strong and healthy.
9. Milk and yoghurtFoods derived from dairy products containing high protein and B vitamins. Two types of nutrients are essential for the growth of brain tissue, neurotransmitters, and enzymes. Milk and yogurt also can make a full stomach because the content of protein and carbohydrate as well as a source of energy for the brain.
10. Lean beefIron is an essential mineral that helps the children stay energized and concentrate at school. Lean beef is one source of foods high in iron. The content of iron in 100 grams of beef is 4.05 mg. While the need for iron in children is 30-10 mg per day.

   2. If someone is doing physical activity then was suddenly resting directly by pampering yourself it can cause pain. This condition is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) caused by the accumulation of lactic acid in different parts of the body.
   3. The existence of fibromyalgia affects more women. This is caused by abnormalities in the central nervous system is sometimes accompanied by symptoms of depression.
   4. Conditions affecting the joints of rheumatoid arthritis can also cause sudden pain.

What to Avoid When Not Want Stomach Distended

Jakarta, Many people who are not obese but have a distended abdomen, but abdominal fat is more dangerous than fat elsewhere in the body. There are some things to avoid if you do not want bloated stomach.

Distended belly is a term to describe that there is excess fat in the abdomen. Belly bulge is not giving any benefit to the health of the body.

Most of belly fat is the impact of excess weight, but there are also other causes, namely a weak stomach muscles, bad posture, stress and excess hormones.

Distended abdomen can also indicate the existence of gastrointestinal problems (indigestion), such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and gastroparesis, which is a type of nerve damage that affects the stomach.

Here are some foods that should be avoided if you do not want to belly bulge, as reported by Lifemojo, Friday (18/03/2011):

1. Fried food
Fried foods can slow digestion process so as to make fat accumulate in the body. When you do not want to belly fat, fat consumption should either contain monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).

These fatty acids work against visceral abdominal fat (abdominal fat). Some sources of monounsaturated fatty acids is olive oil, flaxseed oil, canola oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, nuts and seeds such as walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, roasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds), olive , avocados and dark chocolate.

2. Salt or sodium
Salt, seasoning salt and processed foods have high sodium content. Intake of salty foods in larger quantities to make a belly bulge, because salt can attract large amounts of water causing water retention.

3. Carbonated drinks (soda)
Stomach is the highest point where the bubble cola can accumulate. In addition, many sodas consumed mainly made from artificial sugar, of course, will not make a flat stomach. Compounds contained therein can be converted into fat more rapidly than thought, and abdomen will be the repository of these fats.

4. Food simple berkabohidrat
Simple carbohydrates in the diet can be converted to fat very quickly by the body. So subtract the portion of rice, white bread, pasta and other foods that contain lots of simple carbohydrates. Instead, the recommended consumption of whole wheat bread and wheat pasta with complex carbohydrates.

5. Processed foods with trans fats
There is lots of trans fats in processed food is unhealthy food. In addition, trans fats can also make the stomach look bloated.

Pets that Make Slim

Jakarta, claimed Got pets make people more attentive and do not like violence. But there is one pet that makes slim people because it forces employers have many roads.
Pets that have to make an active master is a dog. Dogs not only can be a loyal friend, but also can make people healthier.
Studies show that people who have pet dogs become more active. With a lot of moving people can keep his body still slim.
The new study led by researchers at Michigan State University showed that people who keep dogs and often took her walking or jogging, 34 percent have met the health standard for physical activity.
"Having a dog and often took a walk can help many people. They become more active and healthier," said Mathew Reeves, an epidemiologist at Michigan State University, as reported by Health24, Thursday (03/17/2011).
According to Reeves, walking is the easiest form of physical activity and can be done by most people.
"Bring the dog out is another reason to make the owners more actively engaged. Refer a dog for a walk is another form of physical activity," explains Reeves.
By using data from Michigan Behavioural Risk Factor Survey, which is an annual health survey conducted by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Michigan Department of Community Health, Reeves and his team found that people who have dogs and often took a walk would be more Active as a whole.
Research shows people who walk with her dog is generally run about an hour more per week.
"These findings could be a public health campaign to promote responsible dog ownership along with the promotion of dog walking as a legitimate opportunity to increase physical activity," said Reeves.
This study has been published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health.

Against Cancer Within 7 Days

London, Cancer identical with the disease difficult to treat or cure. But women in the UK successfully against leukemia cells in the body within 7 days. 

Natalie Langworthy told doctors that his life was only a matter of weeks after that run had previously failed treatment of cancer cure. He was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March 2010.
After the diagnosis she had to undergo 4 cycles of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. But 2.5 months later experienced a relapse of cancer. This condition is known after he made a check of blood to find out how many white blood cells.
"Two days later, I met a consultant who claimed I could dikemoterapi again now and keep me to continue to feel comfortable until I die," said Natalie (34 years), as quoted by The Sun on Thursday (03/17/2011).
However his fiancee Andy (48 years) are not desperate and started doing research online about the type of leukemia that experienced by Natalie. Andy spends long hours to send emails and look for help, but most of the replies he received bad news.
"At that time we began to face the terrible possibility that there is no relief for Natalie and eventually he will die," said Andy.
But in the early morning he got an email from a friend in California that gives details of a trial in Germany that match the diagnosis Natalie. Immediately he sent an email to the consultant hematologist in Germany and the doctor revealed that Natalie could join in the study.
Because his white blood cell count is high, then Natalie had to fly in a supine position and received oxygen during the flight to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Upon arrival in Germany, Natalie participated in the experiment and given medication blinatumomab. This drug works by sticking in leukemia cells and then activate the immune system to destroy it.
Two days after starting treatment test results showed that no remaining leukemia in blood flow, but changed to the bone marrow. Then he did a bone marrow biopsy, were given the drug again and 5 days later he received the good news that the leukemia cells was decreased.
"It's like the best Christmas gift that can be owned by me and my family," said Natalie.
Natalie still have to take medication and a small pump in a shoulder bag. This medicine will continue to be consumed for 4 weeks. After that he will rest for 2 weeks before the next proceeding.
"Compared with chemotherapy who have terrible side effects, this treatment is like a blessing. I get re awesome power and the doctors managed to save the life of me," he said.
Blinatumomab is an antibody that has 2 arms. One arm will hold the immune system and the other arm catch leukemia cells. Then these immune cells will attack and kill leukemia cells that exist.
"The test is still in its early stages and we do not know if this will be useful for various other types of leukemia or not. Therefore, clinical trials conducted in Germany is very important to know what can and can not be done by this drug," said Ken, clinical from Beat Blood Cancer.
The experts do not know whether this drug will become routine treatment for leukemia or not. However, the results obtained by Natalie can provide the determination and spirit of cancer patients worldwide.
