Kinematic system that operates just by getting a new target position (inverse kinematics) everything else is done autonomously. This demonstration has 4 different target positions only and it shows the system’s accuracy even at a very high speed.
This is part of an autonomous system that first looks for possible ways up a climbing wall (according to the abilities of the robot and to physical constraints) and after placing the robot at the start position of the chosen path the robots climbs up just by knowing the x/y-positions of the grips.
The final scenario will be a bioloid looking at the wall using an onboard vision system, detecting marked grips, calculating the best way up, walking to the start position and climbing up the wall, totally autonomously.
My part so far was developing a motion planning system which is a simulation of the real wall that calculates possible paths and developing a motion control system based on inverse kinematics so that now you can send a command like “left hand position 250/175″ and the robot is hooking its new climbing hook-hand into a grip being at this position. (I made new hook-hands and climbing feet to make the robot able to climb, too)
See the other videos showing the climbing process and explaining more details.
This is part of a university cooperation project done by Marco Wickrath.

I know that Android is an open source for cell phones. Does it work on any touch screen phone? Is there a list available on phones it does work on? Or do you have to buy a specific phone from a company?

will it work on a unlocked iphone if i cleared it and put android on?

the following page might help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Android

ost everyone will agree that Scott Roeder, Jacques Robidoux, Jan David Clark, Daniel Petru Corogeanu, Eun Park, Ria Ramkissoon, Leilani Neumann, Dena Audre Schlosser, and Andrea Yates went a little too far with their religion. But at what point did they cross that line? Just before the deaths, or when they first started believing the things that facilitated their actions that led to those deaths?

I notice a convenient lack of Arabic names in your list of killers. Oh well. I think they cross the line when they believe something that expressly advocates following an imaginary being over living ethically and grounded in what I like to call ‘reality land’.

As in really really alien in every way.

Humans tend to be egocentric about almost everything. When we do encounter our first non humanoid intelligence I wonder if this will cause a psychological problem with some people or most even. Oh no they can’t be non human type of response.

Anything may matter to the truth-seeking soul, to the soul seeking more experiences of life and of the worlds above and beyond and yonder.

Those completely non humanoid aliens that might appear on our own path ever forwards upwards towards more knowing and more safety might be greatly welcome with us if they did not in any way hamper our own ways into more freedom, our own life-spaces.

The single person consciously or unconsciously is ever tending to selfishly promote itself, to more gloriously be at the center of all things, to more greatly become able to expand and to master whatever things that may need to be mastered or be of advantage in getting mastered.

Anything new, a non-humanoid creature or a new idea or whatever else, may cause some psychological uncertainty or fear within people. But life wants to ever more go out and discover, to fight, to joust, to expand, than to see itself frozen up within a feeling of uncertainty and of fear, or fossilized within a state of blunt given certainty.

For the time being we do not know much of what there can be out there in immense transcendental spaces; for the time being we do only have the more or less clever ability of chit-chats about those realities that transcend the capacities of our own eyes and hears and of all the other internal and external (great technological) senses and sensors and machines.

I think that the dreamy yearning within our own soul and with all our own senses, from the deeper throbbing vaults of our own heart, from our own mind, from along the immense glowing sun-kissed or perhaps stormy or gloomy shores and landscapes and horizons and heavens and yonders of our own soul

will be to get deliciously inundated of a sublimer glowing apotheosis of greater certainty and as if of perennial bliss, for the believers on a fresh scented flowery spring-time path ever upwards ever towards the glory of angels and towards almighty God’s ever loving nearness.

Amen. Have chances of some great good laughs in loving company or more sublimely all on your own!

Hey I have a Robosapien V2 which I had for about 2 years now. I had it turned off but for a while because it the batteries ranned out and I left it alone. So i decided after some months I gave it some attention and baught some new batteries for it. now It comes on, the LED lights in his eyes work, but he doesn’t move or make sounds. Does anyone know whats going on?

if you have the instructions try looing the number of the manufacturer and call them the might know or take it to radio shack they could help too i think hope it helps

For ten pound i dont expect it to be like the 100 pound model. Just wondering….

I work at toys r us, and I’ll be honest, i’ve used the expensive robosapiens, roboraptors and all the other range, and even the £200 ones I thought were rather rubbish. It’s the sort of thing that is really cool and fun for about 3 days until you realise there isn’t really much you can do with them (like furbies), so I would expect the cheaper ones to be even worse

HOWEVER if you’re buying it as a present for a kid who really really really wants one (I’m guessing you are), then i would say the £10 model is probably the best idea – same honeymoon period of "this is really cool", but £190 still in your bank account that wont have been wasted.

Hope that helps
