Inud: the Robotic Dog from Segatoys
By Andrew | February 11, 2008
A careless look at this pooch and not even in your weirdest of dreams you can imagine that it’s not a real soul but a robotic little puppy.A product from Segatoy, the Puppy Robo is quite real not just in its cute looks but also in all that it does.
The cute pooch is named Inud alias Dream DX robot dog and is quite active when it comes to responding back. The robot dog is a cool tech toy that gives a quick response the moment you touch it or address him as “good boy”. Call him and you’ll find the loyal chap following you thanks to the special movement trackers fitted inside him.
To make him all the more like a real dog the creators have designed him to act like normal dogs and do things that they do like moving its eyes, mouth and head, wagging its tail, and also a cute paw-shake…that’ll make you say ‘I want this pet!
With all the cute things of a pet minus the problematic hassles of pooping, annoying and unnecessary barking the robot pet Inud comes to you for $270…must say an intelligent deal it is!

Tankpitstop- Robotic Arm to fill gas in your Car
By Andrew | February 7, 2008
At last I am writing about something that I can proudly call a gadget…I guess it’s worth the title of –‘Gadget of the Day’!
I am talking about these unique robotic hands called Tankpitstop, that are busy filling fuel in vehicles at the petrol pumps in Netherlands. Man, I wish even we had a few of these!
The Tankpitstop robotic arm is the brainchild of Dutch inventors, which uses a wide range of highly effective sensors together with a car database that guides the arm with the correct location of the car gas flap, open it, unscrew it and fill in the gas tank- all on it’s own sans any human aid. (Psst! Why I’m telling that, robots are supposed to work like that!)
Any guesses what inspired the designer to come up with a robotic solution Tankpitstop, to fill in the gas tank? It was from a robotic arm milking a cow! Great observing eye, Nici van Straveren, must say!
Currently installed only at Neatherlands, Staveren hopes to se his wonder arm installed at gas stations around Netherlands.
Till that, we hope, he’ll be able to hone Tankpitstop even for the cars that need a key for access the tank, which it is not adept at currently.
The cost that the inventors incurred to bring Tankpitstop into action is $1111000.

By Andrew | July 25, 2007
We love Robots. It is this love only that is blessing our souls with Technological inventions happening at Future Robotics Technology Center.
Now we have “Halluc II,” developed by Takayuki Furuta, chief of the Future Robotics Technology Center at the Chiba Institute of Technology in Tokyo on 25 July 2007.
This eight-legged robot, equipped with 13 censors measures distance below and side of the body, two censors to spot impediment in 360-degree around the body, three axis sensors to keep the proper body balance, can move flexibly in three different styles as vehicle, insect and animal, with a total of 56 motors.
The great mind behind this product Furuta said it is being developed for various terrains including natural disaster-hit roads or off-roads for emergency, rescue and welfare operations in the future.
