For all Your Robot needs…

Batteries Included

Brian Walker, hailing from Sydney, Australia, is responsible for the photographs shown above.  He created these fantastic plastic robot women that fuse fashion, illustration, and technology.

From H R Wienheimer:

“Brian Walker is a world renowned digital artist, with a playfully kitsch postmodern view on the world at large. View them with a grain of salt in hand ready to rub into your own proverbial visual wound that he taketh pleasure in inflicting”

There’s something quite pleasing about his particular brand of pop-art.  The bright colors and classic models work well with the subjects and themes he presents.

  It certainly creates a sense of wonderment for the future that I enjoy.

To The Far East

July 1st, 2012 | Brain, Robot, Space

Greetings RSB Faithful

To those of you who don’t know, today, I will be traveling by aeroplane across this Earth, 9243 miles to be exact!, to the land of beaches, jungles, and temples for the next 7 weeks.

Hopefully, I’ll see some things like this:

For those of you who are concerned for the future of the site, HAVE NO FEAR, RobotSpaceBrain will be FULLY operational in my time abroad.  Yes, I mean that, and ideally, I’ll be coming back in August with a renewed passion for giving you the quality scientific and artistic inspiration you’ve hopefully come to expect.

Live Long & Prosper,

Banana Piano by Makey Makey

Banana Piano

Makey Makey is a team of 2 MIT scientists whose work is based on research conducted at the MIT Media Lab. This stuff is pretty amazing, and it seems to be an incredibly promising avenue for creativity for the masses.  And while Banana Piano may not be the most practical idea, I imagine it won’t be long before someone finds some very intuitive applications for this technology.

KEYZ Desktop Wallpaper

June 18th, 2012 | Robot

In anticipation of a new RobotSpaceBrain project titled, KEYZ, I created this Keyz Desktop Wallpaper for you.  If you can’t tell, these are keyboards, a WHOLE LOT of keyboards, that my friend Nick has collected over the years.

We will be doing a bit of cataloging in the near future, including sound bites, videos and ratings for many of them.

The Mercenary

The Mercenary 1

The Mercenary 2

The Mercenary Saw

The Mercenary Deer

I would like really like to hire this mercenary model, fantastic!

These conceptual photographs are from Baldovino Barani, starring the Australian model, Morgan Hurst.

From Barani’s site:

Baldovino Barani’s photography has acquired somewhat of a cult status in recent years.  His often unsettling and fabulist allegories have interpreted the ever changing metamorphosis of the fashion seasons and showcased the work of this industry’s most talented designers.

 Always striving to impose character driven stories, Baldovino Barani’s heroines have come to stand for a new type of editorial femininity: a seamless assimilation between orphic narrative and pure sartorial ecstasy.

This fembot is one intense assassin.

Woman Controls Robotic Arm… With Her MIND

May 19th, 2012 | Brain, Robot

Woman Controls Robotic Arm With Her Mind

Well, this is certainly one of the most amazing things I have seen in quite some time (and thanks to artist and Facebook Fan, Luanne Meader for sharing).  Cathy Hutchinson has been unable to move her own arms or legs for 15 years, but thanks to research out of Brown University, she is able to control this robotic arm to give herself a drink of coffee for the 1st time without assistance.  The smile on her face upon success is priceless.

I first heard about this technology several years ago in Monkeys from research conducted by Miguel Nicolelis, MD/PhD, who is professor of neurobiology and co-director of the Duke Center for Neuroengineering.  See video below:

The technology basically works by implanting a sensor in the motor cortex of the brain (see below).  This sensor reads the brain’s electrical “thoughts” and then sends them to an external computer for decoding.  This decoded signal is then transferred to the robotic arm so that it can deliver the coffee (or whatever else the user desires).

Motor and Somatosensory Cortex

 

It’s pretty breathtaking stuff, and I’m really excited to see where the field of Neuroengineering goes from here.  This certainly marks the beginning of a new era of man’s relationship with machine.
