Wow ... a robot to do laundry Kitchen Work Clothes and Towel Folding

For years, fans of one robot and a researcher's dream have made a robot that can do various tasks. is to do our homework daily.

This may be achieved if we can collect some of the technicians and experts of robots to do all this, it is not possible that the robot can simplify our daily work, even he could do the job more neatly than a housemaid.

this is what inspires Willoy garage to do a research and begin developing robotic technology, together with experts robotik.malah willoy began visiting several robotics experts in various countries with the aim to develop robotic technology that can perform public works and could be accepted by the general public



Now, however, roboticists groups at 11 institutions in worldwide that in coming to willoy will get the chance to take part in project that could change our perception of robots in the world. On Tuesday, Willow Garage, which is a robotics firm Menlo Park, at California, said that in June they would offer to each of 11 teams to provide private loans for two years to develop the Robot PR 2 (PR2), This sophisticated machine is fully programmed to have two arms, which is a cellular-based sensor suites, and 16-core CPU. This also complemented Free, open-source Robot Operating System (ROS) for the framework PR2 controls and libraries equipped with software for perception, navigation, and manipulation of the brain robot.Wow On Steady Coy




And for the first time, researchers will have the opportunity to not only make the program a robot for general purposes but also contribute to the work they do at Willow Garage's open source robotics platform for research into the wider community, a new breakthrough to give opportunity to the outside world and develop this robot is leap forward that can allow others to quickly promote the super-sophisticated robot technology.

According to Willow Garage, Robot, which will be entrusted to PR2 11 agencies will be worth more than $ 4 million, he therefore will go with the team at 10 universities in Japan, Belgium, Germany, and United States, as well as researchers at Bosch, (a giant corporate tools).

Eric Berger, co-director of the program personal Willow Garage robotics platform, said that the company has received 78 serious applications that follow and try to develop this robot and in the end they will only choose 11 finalists who will get the chance to work on a series of robotic research and development, they also will share science for the advancement of robot technology

Finally, Willow determine the option to provide investment worth $ 4 million-plus robot for the purpose to encourage the creation of a breakthrough in the world of robotics in private; goal is build an open-source or open source for robotics to the community, as well as develop new productivity tools and components; to make the system before imagined applications for robots that walk general purposes, and to accelerate progress with the development of new robot allow community members to view and develop

"Is Willoy kidding?"
When asked whether the initiative is a step Willow Garage important to the future for the field of robotics, a former NASA astronaut and robotics expert, and faculty members Singularitas This university, when asked by a robotics expert, Dan Barry said, "Are you kidding also asking this question? This is phenomenal because they will provide a breakthrough to the world of robots This autonomously for general purposes. "

And for now the most important thing is to put PR2s in the hands of a few best researchers and the most intelligent on this planet, Barry said, because currently PR2 is a hardware platform that has been developed, limited utility at this time. So, Barry explained, you PR2 can bring to your house today, but not much can performed.

Placed in the hands-leading robotics in the hands of faculty and students in universities around the world very well, though, the platform began expand exponentially, says Barry "So, you should making this a robot together, "he said," This will be programmed together where smart people worldwide can use them and work on the raison d'etre. "

Willow Garage was first issued a proposal calling for what that must be done by January and then PR2. But this year, only a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley who provide feedback and pulled out one of the robots are programmed to work by folding towels, And within two months, he was able to get a PR2 to spruce up and folded 50 towels in a row. But while it was an impressive achievement, Berger very interested to see what kind of applications will occur when there are 11 teams with hundreds of researchers working on the platform PR2 may result in excess of that already exists, not only to see a towel but do something else.

Broadly speaking, Berger said, 11 teams selected for receive PR2s proposed the use of robots for applications in two areas main. First, he explained, the robot must be able to analyze tools and capabilities, things such as map reading, recognizing objects, precise calibration of the camera on-board, and much more. Second is the application and demonstration of the use means all robots and components and combining them so that they can do things like retrieve objects, open doors, or doing some household tasks. Most of the latter category is designed to help persons with disabilities with the things they can not easily do it yourself.

"Some people look at doing housework cycle is complete," Berger said, that starts with "set the dishes in cupboards, set the table, placing their clothes in the washing machine and clean the dishes and then go back in place istrahatnya. "

That's a very heavy duty, Of course, we must present a robot with some very difficult tasks, like to understand how to open a drawer and refrigerator, and how how to tell a few separate objects. Similarly, the proposed single team willoy brain is programmed the robot to learn how to see and do a the object if he sees a crowded room then he should immediately repair the room. The team will Berkeley expand on her work not only just focus on the folded towel but now must focus on get special PR2 robots for washing clothes.
