Wouldn't it be great if we had a robotic companion? Or imagine how great would be the restoration of the motoric functions of paralyzed patients. This is what the research in Japan is headed to. Japan scientists are working on a special research of a humanoid robot. The base for this robot lies in the active use of brain. The scientists take these signals from a monkey's brains, that are transmitted by the Internet from U.S. The research in the U.S. is led by Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University in North Carolina. The researchers tried to achieve that monkeys would walk on legs what was fortunately successful. They have recorded their brain activity while walking on their legs and according to this information they determined next moves. A success has been detected in the controlling of the humanoid robot. This fact means that doctors may be able to restore motoric functions of a human body in the future. The humanoid robot is nearly as high as a human being. With its height of 155 centimeters and its weight of 85 kilograms can look like one of us. The robot has been developed at the Carnegie Mellon University's Robotic Institute by JST and Christopher Atkeson and has about 51 percent of freedom of motion. The main part, which is the hardware, was developed in the Salt Lake City robotics company by Sarcos. The scientists are now doing the study of how to make the robotic moves more lifelike and real.
