Inside the Japanese Hotel Staffed by Robots If there’s one place on Earth you can already get a glimpse of our robot-assisted future, it’s Japan. Routinely at the forefront of robotics research, the country has brought us some of the weirdest automatons, most lifelike androids, and cutest helper-bots. Nowhere is this more evident than at Nagasaki’s Henn-na Hotel, a hotel run by robots that opened this year. Walk into reception and a mechanised dinosaur will guide you through check-in; go to your room and a luggage bot will wheel your suitcase along beside you; get ready for bed and your own robot companion will turn out the lights. Henn-na Hotel CEO Hideo Sawada sells his offering as part of a utopian vision where robots take over manual labour so humans can turn their attention to more creative pursuits. Replacing staff with robots might reduce labour costs, but their appeal to visitors needs to last beyond novelty value. Motherboard host Ben Ferguson checks into the robot hotel in the first episode of our new travel series Voyager, made possible by travel tool KAYAK (http://www.kayak.co.uk/). The robot workers he meets are courteous and communicative, but can they emulate the human warmth of their flesh-and-blood counterparts? Could robots really be our future holiday companions, or do man and machine ultimately get lost in translation?
A snake tries to steal a fish from a basket While fishing in a pond in Petersburg, Ill., A man notices a snake on the surface of the water diving towards his basket containing a few fish. He then removes the basket from the water, but the reptile also rises to the surface and repeatedly tries to enter the basket to take a fish.
Indian students have created a functional Iron Man suit This exoskeleton is the brainchild of final-year student, Vimal Govind Manikandan from the MES College of Engineering.
He says he was inspired by Hollywood movies, especially Avatar’s fictional AMP (Amplified Mobility Platform) suit.
Ditching expensive and complex software programs and sensors, Manikandan says his G2 prototype uses battery-powered pressurized air-chambers that help the giant robot move about and lift up to 150 kilograms. Developed with help from college authorities and students, the G2 uses a pneumatic compressor unit - or pressurized-air chamber system - and a control unit which combine to make the prototype workable.
The team of students designed and built the frame with local support.
Manikandan believes his robot can potentially be used in the military and industrial sectors which require the lifting and moving of heavy materials.
Though not as sleek as similar products on the market, like the recently unveiled range of exoskeleton suits by Panasonic, the G2 has one big advantage.
It cost just US$750 to build the prototype.

Amazing Boxing! The FASTEST GIRL, 3 years after triumph, Camaya FAST GIRL, 3 years later This video is not just motivation for sport. This video is the MOTIVATION FOR LIFE.
It is necessary to implement Evnika's training into the system of public education. I'm not kidding. Our head with his family, has developed a unique training system, we are dreaming to introduce the system to public education. Let's build our future !!!
"Trees are our quirks. You need to look at how the special exercises with Evnik simulator affects on the development of children's motor skills.
In short, training system develops certain motor skills, with emphasis on the development of the nervous system. There is excess underdevelopment of neuro muscular coordination and movement of the child becoming "non-human" character, movements become stronger, faster and therefore powerful. This potential can be used in any kind of sports, ranging from ballet and ending with the football. We are boxers and that's why we apply this system to our narrow specialized needs. Our life, our successes and failures do not concern of the science that we have opened. Do not pay attention to what we do. It is important that we have achieved the highest results not with one child and an adult. It works. And tomorrow, this technology can help all children. In my estimates, after the revolution in sports comes the evolution of man, because the special work of neuro muscular system displays the potential of an organism to a whole new level of development. You can not imagine how it will affect the technological progress in general, much of what we have today will have to throw out, because our children suddenly will become different."
