The Huggable project started in the MIT Media Lab (The Robotic Life Group) in 2005. The Huggable is a new type of robotic companion for healthcare, education, and social communication. It is inspired in traditional companion animal therapy. The Huggable…
CB2 (Child-robot with Biomimetic Body) is a young android created by Japanese researchers Minoru Asada and Hiroshi Ishiguro (who famously created an android twin of himself). The following video shows this silicone skin baby bot rolling around and trying to kind-of…
The robotic carp developed by Ryomei Engineering (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) is a curious example of a fish robot. This remote-controlled metal fish resembles to a koi carp, and it’s actually a great catch: 80 cm and 12 Kg. The following video shows the smooth…
A new version of the famous Asimo robot was presented last month in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to the former features of this humanoid model, the new version of Asimo features a streamlined design and is able to perform receptionist…

The Control Panel service is a version of the Dashboard service by Trevor Taylor in which a control for representing the simulated Sonar has been added. Dashboard is based on the MSRS Simple Dashboard service. Dashboard original code and documentation…
This Maze Simulator Service for Microsoft Robotics Studio is 99% based on the MSRS Maze Simulator by Trevor Taylor (find the original version following this link to Trevor’s page). I just modified it to use my simulated Sonar service instead…
The Simulated SONAR Service provides access to a simulated SONAR array. It uses Robotics Studio Simulator raycasting to simulate SONAR transducers. Using this service you are able to test SONAR object detection and distance measurement in the MSRS Visual Environment….
In this article I aim to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of cognitive robotics by providing you with some definitions, examples, links to information resources, courses, and research projects. Also, the research motivations of this field are discussed,…
