High Speed Robot Hand

High-Speed-Robot-Hand

I suppose most advancements in the field of robotics come from Japan, and this High Speed Robot Hand is no exception.  Ishikawa Oku from The University of Tokyo created this prototype, and it’s pretty amazing how far we’ve come in the last 10 years or so.  At first, all we had were clumsy hands that could barely hold anything, and now, we have this robot hand that can probably take care of my iPhone better than I can.

The hand bounces balls, ties knots, and spins its chopsticks using high-speed actuators with harmonic drive gears.  My main criticism of most humanoid robots is that they move too slowly, so I find this hand particularly fascinating.

Shippo, The Brain-Controlled Tail

Brain-Controlled Tail

My, oh my..! Japan is always a leader in the world of technology and that’s why I find the country so fascinating.  But, it should not be forgotten that Japan is also the leader in weird ideas that Western culture can’t quite understand.

 I guess that’s where I find myself with Shippo, the brain-controlled tail.  Is this a real product??

I can’t say exactly how this works, but from their site, I gather that when you are relaxed, the tail will move slowly and when you are “concentrating” on something, the tail will move quickly.

 I assume the sensor registers the muscle activity in your forehead, and this sensor is connected to a smartphone app, so you can record your mood and share it on the internet.

Here’s a short tidbit from the neurowear site:

“What will happen when people show their feelings even when they don’t express them? Interesting? Ashamed? Scared? In the beginning, people may feel strange, however people quickly become accustomed to controlling their new ears with their brainwaves.

Right now, Necomimi can become a part of your body.”

I think I’ll say “No Thanks” to the brain-controlled tail, but if you feel so inclined, you can check out Neurowear to see their already released, brain-controlled ears.

Japan has always been a country to welcome new technology with open arms, and holographic, computer-generated, pop-star, Hatsune Miku, is no exception.  Her voice was created using the Vocaloid 2 Speech Synthesis Engine from Yamaha using samples from voice actress, Saki Fujita.

All of the concerts are conducted with a holographic image and it’s pretty amazing how far holographic technology has come.
