[Robolink] Soccer Goalie Robot by Akshay

Published on Sep 2, 2014

This is a Soccer Goalie Robot built by 5th grader Akshay.

Akshay created a friend for our soccer robot. He created a goalie robot that strafes left and right to prevent balls from going inside its goal. Driven by his passion for soccer and robotics, Akshay came up with a creative way to combine those two passions. Check out his robot in the picture below and if you want to see it in action just click on the link below.

Referee Robonaut: football signals

Published on Jan 31, 2017

Can you guess the football signals Robonaut is doing? He's designed to perform complex tasks and use the same tools astronauts use.

Robonaut is a dexterous humanoid robot built and designed at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Our challenge is to build machines that can help humans work and explore in space. Working side by side with humans, or going where the risks are too great for people, Robonauts will expand our ability for construction and discovery. Central to that effort is a capability we call dexterous manipulation, embodied by an ability to use one's hand to do work, and our challenge has been to build machines with dexterity that exceeds that of a suited astronaut.

Researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC), in collaboration with General Motors and Oceaneering, have designed a state-of-the-art, highly dexterous, humanoid robot: Robonaut 2 (R2). R2 is made up of multiple component technologies and systems -- vision systems, image recognition systems, sensor integrations, tendon hands, control algorithms, and much more. R2's nearly 50 patented and patent-pending technologies have the potential to be game-changers in multiple industries, including logistics and distribution, medical and industrial robotics, and beyond.
