Space Robot Explorer

SPACE ROBOT EXPLORER
We remember the success of the first Titan Moon Robot Explorer which was built inside Humanoido Laboratory and completed by January 2014.

Advance forward in time by 4 years to 2017 where a new intelligent space robot explorer is emerging. Great advances in AI machine intelligence and vision systems makes new features possible.

Space robots operating at incredible distances from Earth will need their own autonomous intelligence due to the great time lag in communications. To keep the rover package small, the new intelligent space robot explorer offloads its on-board smaller brain to a larger and more vast remote brain automatically and wireless. Envisioned is a vast super brain located either in orbit or landed on the surface cohabiting the same space planet, moon, asteroid, or comet.

Humanoid Robots Web Site

NEW WEB SITE "HUMANOID ROBOTS"
Humanoido has created Humanoid Robots, a web site dedicated to promoting information about various humanoid robots to help ensure their longevity and to expand their functions and applications.

http://humanoidslabs.blogspot.tw/

Upon introduction as of January 2017, the new site includes robots JD, Robonova, iSobot, and Manatron with sections about the Big Brain (originally designed & built for humanoid robots) and Space1 (which has a great humanoid presence) found through links in the menu.

Additional humanoid robots are included, such as Pepper, etc. An index exists to help find information about each robot.

A recent post lists information about EZ-Robot's JD humanoid robot accessories.

Genealogy Part 2

GENEALOGY PART 2
Genealogy Part 1 has filled up with 1,076 documented Humanoido inventions, so part 2 will continue where Part 1 left off. An estimated 2,000 inventions were created and the Genealogy Project is designed to retrace the history of each. In the meantime, the documentation should continue with recent entries.

New Inventions Introduced

Mobile Brain
http://humanoidolabs.blogspot.tw/2017/01/mobile-brain.html

The purpose of Mobile Brain is to demonstrate the characteristics of a thinking brain (from Brain in a Jar) that has the power of mobility (from BoeBot) with an added PING ultrasonic sensor and the ability to change positions for different viewpoints.

Mobile Brain Robot

MOBILE BRAIN ROBOT
As a result of the Big Brain project and its spinoff technology, the Mobile Brain Robot is born.

The Mobile Brain, MBR, was designed and prototyped with both the Parallax Propeller and BASIC Stamp. In the final analysis, the wheeled chassis from a BOEBOT robot gives mobility and the brain comes from a Brain in a Jar project using a single Propeller chip with 8 processor cores.

As an added feature to the Mobile Brain, a PING ultrasonic sensor adds the power of ultrasonic vision. Ultrasonics, much like bat or submarine SONAR can see out to distances of about 12-feet maximum and in total darkness. It's also well adapted to closer distances as well. In this case, rather than using a sing servo to move the PING sensor side to side for scanning scenery, the technique of vision scanning is to move the already established two wheels in countered directions for left and right motions. The main circuit is built on a solderless breadboard and attached to the BoeBot chassis. The purpose of Mobile Brain is to demonstrate the characteristics of a thinking brain that has the power of mobility and changing positions.

The MBR is an interim test robot built before the Planet Saturn's Moon Titan Lander Explorer Robot.
