1. REAL ROBOTS

2. iCub It has a height of 100 cm, weighs 23 Kg, and is able to recognize and manipulate objects. Each hand has 9 DOF and can feel objects almost as good as a human. The head is an essential component for moving, recognition and commands. It has 6 DOF and has integrated two cameras, two microphones, gyroscopes and accelerometers. Its brain is controlled by an Intel Core2Duo 2.16 Mhz processor.

3. Tiro It has a height of 60 cm and weighs 70 Kg. Audio and video sensors are integrated in the neck and can capture a wide range of sounds and images in various angles.

4. Hubo-2 130 cm, 45 Kg Degrees=40 Walk 1.4 km/h Run 3.3 km/h.

5. Asimo Significant in Autonomy. Technological improvements Can walk like a human 130 CM 48Kg/ Run 9 km/h

6. RIBA-II a project from Japan designed to assist persons with disabilities or elderly who need help to move, world’s first robot which can lift up humans in its armsa project from Japan designed to assist persons with disabilities or elderly who need help to move, world’s first robot which can lift up humans in its arms

7. DARwin-OP The robot can be used at home, but the main goal is to be used in education and research due to the open-source advantage that underlies it. The developers encourage users to develop and integrate new components to improve the structure and functionality. The brain of the robot is an Intel Atom Z530 processor with a work frequency of 1.6 GHz, and for storage it uses 4 GB flash SSD. DARwIn-OP has a height of 45.45 cm, weighs 2.9 Kg and has a top speed of 24 cm/s. The autonomy of the robot is 30 minutes, and to save energy it can enter in stand-by mode only when has nothing to do.

8. PR2 SE educational purposes and research. It is an open source platform which gathered a community around it in order to develop new technology and improve existing technologies. This robotic platform is available in two versions, with one or two arms. Kinect technology is used to control or detect objects.

9. NAO Next Gen It can be used in education and research as study material or platform for developing new generation of humanoid robots IT can recognize shapes, people or voices. Captured images have the best resolution thanks to the two HD-resolution cameras, which yield good performance even in low light conditions.

10. Robothespian The robot is designed to be used in museums to guide visitors, education, or research. It is a good public speaker, and impresses by gesturing and emotions displayed on its face. Also it has the ability to dance, sing, or recite text. The two eyes are made up of LCD screens and change their colors in relation to the robot’s movements. The robot can be controlled remotely via the Internet and the user can see what the robot sees at all times. The height is 175 cm and weight is 33 Kg. The robot’s body is made of aluminum while components are covered with the very common PET plastic material. Instead of electric motors, Robothespian uses muscles driven by air pressure created by Festo.

11. HRP-4 It has a height of 1.51 meters and weighs 39 Kg. Each robot arm has 7 degrees of freedom and can lift a maximum weight of 0.5 Kg. The intelligence level is pretty high, the robot can talk, understand, recognize or manipulate various objects. Due to the wide range of integrated sensors, HRP-4 can detect the direction of the sound so it can turn towards the speaker. The brain is an Intel Pentium M processor with a working frequency of 1.6 GHz.
