Weightlifting Robots: They're Buff, Tough And Robust

GeekSugar — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 08:00:12 -0700

I wholeheartedly understand the use of robot parking garages and even Beerbots that can serve up cold ones, but what will anyone ever do with these weight-lifting robots that can flex their pretend pecs to pump some serious iron?

The bionic men showed off their goods at a recent competition in China. They can effortlessly lift their weights at the push of a button. If only I could figure out a logical reason for creating a tiny robot that lifts weights, I might think these things are cute.

The Female Robot by Tomotaka Takahashi

GeekSugar — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 09:00:59 -0700

I present to you the FT female robot, measuring just over a foot tall and containing twenty-three motors and two gyroscopes. As a result of Tomotaka Takahashi's desire to create a female type robot, he spent a year developing a robot with feminine features. Featured on SCI FI Tech, the FT's parts were specifically designed to showcase a lean, feminine body line. Wondering how she works? The FT robot is controlled by an onboard computer which allows the robot to move gracefully. Takahashi even consulted with professional fashion models to make the FT’s movements more lifelike. There are currently only two FT robots in the world, although one will be sold by auction, starting at...get this...$300,000. Takahashi believes that half of all robots in the near future will be "female," so I'm sure he'll be keeping the second one for himself as a prototype. For more info, click here.
