01.01.1970 //Domo for the house: become acquainted, robot -gumanoid from MIT.
In Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), noted for its foremost developments in the field of robot technology and artificial intellect, is created "the robot- assistant" on name Domo. Special features of the behavior of robots of this type - adaptation to the actions of man and the presence of the developed system of interaction with the external peace. The works on project Domo occur about three years. At the present moment the robot can "see" the surrounding peace, recognize means, focus its attention in one or other object or another and react to the commands of man. For the input of visual information the system is equipped with several cameras. Incoming information processes 12 computers. Robot Domo knows how to separate man against the background of other objects and to carry out simple commands. For example, robot- assistant can take the objects proposed to it and place them on the regiment. Sounds not very vpechatlyayushche, but, in reality, robot must carry out the colossal volume of latent work in order to carry out such simple, is at first glance, action. It independently defines, as should be taken by that or another object, depending on its form and sizes, where shelf is located, and what steps should be undertaken so that the object would prove to be on it. So that the robots, similar Domo could coexist with the people, they must feel, when men it touches the body of robot, and to react to such touchs. In joints Domo are located the sensors, which feel the effort accompanying from without. Therefore, if we, for example, take robot as the hand and a little to push slightly, it will be directed in the direction indicated. Thus far robot Domo is distant from the series production - it is prototype for developing the technologies. Desiring clearly to represent, to what they can lead such developments as long as remains to look film "bicentennial person" or "terminator 2" - which more greatly pleases itself whom.
