The development of AI (Artificial Intelligence / artificial intelligence) very rapidly lately become a major trigger a "race" to make an intelligent robot. Honda as one of the leading companies, translating philosophy through production Robotikanya named ASIMO. With in-depth research, this robot has achieved perfection. With the theme "The Power Of Dreams" manufacturer Honda has a wonderful imagination to realize Robotics experts.
Background The birth of ASIMO
Noted, the dream of the robot actually been around since 7000 years ago, but only implemented in the early 18th century by Frenchman Jacques de Vauncanson makes 3 humanoid robotics pioneer Maybe this Frenchman who has grown up now. The idea of this had turned manufacturer Honda ASIMO which was launched on the same principle that is a robot that can do the same as in humans.
ASIMO development takes 20 years to become what it is today. Starting from the labor curiosity Honda, with dreaming and mengimajinasi how human-like robot that can be a thing that allows it to be made. To realize the scientists began by studying the way humans walk and make robotic legs first. Of 13 prototype made finally obtained an answer on how humans walk.
ASIMO began development of type E0 which appeared in 1986 ago. Then developed and followed by the type of E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6 to begin simplified form again into type P1, P2, P3. The next type of growing up to now the results are finishing ASIMO.
ASIMO form itself that impressed little has actually been taken into account by scientists. With a shape like that ASIMO be free to operate in a human environment in order to create the impression of people-friendly. Even with such a size, ASIMO can operate the light switches, open doorknobs, desks and tables using a small seating. His height is designed the same as the human eye height when sitting.
ASIMO has a height of about 120 cm, a height as this is perceived by scientists Honda appropriate for active robot in a real human environment.
ASIMO development continues moving towards perfect. Until December 13, 2005 the Japanese manufacturer is launching a new ASIMO humanoid robot that has the ability to adapt in real life as in the office, or level, more real life again. New ASIMO also has more ability to interact with humans such as hand in hand with human and can also be run while carrying goods.
All of this can not be separated from the function of "total control system". The system also can make ASIMO deliver and store important information and present delivery services. Not only that, New ASIMO also designed to improve the performance speed by running up to speed of 6km / hour and can run in a circular pattern. New ASIMO is also complemented by the '' IC Tele-interaction Communication Card '' which is useful as an identifier identity. This tool will work if used by someone, ASIMO can identify and search for the man with the specification maximum distance is 360 degrees.
On this launch, Honda has been successfully developing humanoid robots are real and can be used (Truly useful humanoid robot). Nevertheless, Honda still will continue and will be more active and more focused in developing the field of AI (artifical INTELLIGENCE).
The development of ASIMO
E0 (1986)
This is the first model of ASIMO which form only in the form of two pieces of robotic leg which is the idea of scientists Honda about a dream of making a humanoid robot.
The new robots can walk slowly because at the time it was discovered that only by walking one leg over the other leg first and then the center point of gravity of the body on the feet can be balanced so as not to fall. The time needed to step one foot is about 5 seconds, after which the other foot follows.
E1 (1987-1991)
In this model there is an improvement of E0 is that E1 was able to walk back and forth continuously at a speed of 0.25km / h, with a definite difference of motion between the two legs, so that the balance has been assured.
E2 (1987-1991)
This model became the pioneer runs generally resemble humans, namely at a speed 1.2 km / h. How to walk from E2 is already with the dynamic pace on a flat surface, with a balance point at the midpoint of the robot body.
E3 (1987-1991)
In this model is the development certainly of E2 that gait of the robot has more advanced that already equaled the normal human gait in general is about 3km / h.
E4 (1991-1993)
In this form the conversion began physically different from the three previous form where only changed the way he walked, the form of this robot to 4 knee is extended along 40 cm so as to reduce the speed again to 4.7 km / h.
E5 (1991-1993)
In this model has used an automated propulsion are mounted on legs that are shaped like a locomotive train. In this form the head of the robot becomes very large.
E6 (1991-1993)
This model has achieved a balance control that can be used when the robot goes up or down stairs or when hit a slope. In this model the robot also had to get past an obstacle in front of him.
On the development of three models in the top Honda has found a way so that the robot can run stable and found 3 control techniques, namely:
- Floor Reaction Control
- Target ZMP Control
- Foot Planting Location Control
Mechanism of gait has been successfully applied to the robot E5 where the character is stable, able to walk with two legs alternately walaupaun on the straight path, sloping, stairs, or slope.
In this way, the Honda began to focus on how the development of humanoid robot head shapes (Humanoid robot).
P1 (1993-1997)
It is developing a model of the E- model which has to be formed humanoid robot. Form Of P1 is the first human form which has no arm and body.
Height 1,915 mm and weighs 175kg, turning on and turning off computers and other electrical equipment, open doors, pick up and carry. Research has been reached how to coordinate the movements of the arms and legs.
P2 (1993-1997)
This is the first form of DAPT surprisingly charming public nature of the geraqkannya of a robot.Robot is also called the world's first robot that can manage the system independently.
1.820mm height and weighs 210kg with wireless techniques. His body consists of a computer, motor, wireless radio, and other common equipment. This robot has been able to move freely and go up and down stairs, pushing a stroller, and do other things done without cables or wires are connected to the robot because it uses wireless technology.
P3 (1993-1997)
In this form only change the size and weight into a humanoid robot that is interesting and amusing to look at. This robot has become a robot complete first free and runs using two legs.
Height 1,600 mm and weighs 130kg. Height and weight can be reduced because by changing the material component and centralize the control system. This interesting size which is touted to be better and appropriate if used in a real human environment.
ASIMO / New ASIMO (2000-present)
This form is called as the final form of the robot Honda also more human-friendly and smoother. Increase in evolutionary terms of shape, size, weight and gait making robot models are very attractive to the experts.
The advantages of this model are:
- Neat and light
- Has a more intelligent road technology
- Movement of the knee that is free to move
- Evolution beautiful and simple
- More has a human-friendly design
Recognition technology
In the 2000s model of ASIMO, Honda has added many features that enable ASIMO to interact better with humans. These features fall under 5 categories:
1. Recognition of moving objects
Using visual information from a camera mounted in its head, ASIMO can detect the movement of multiple objects and judging distances and directions. Common applications of these features include: the ability to follow the movement of the camera, follow a person, or greet a person when he approached.
2. Introduction of posture and movement
ASIMO can also interpret the positioning and movement of a hand, as well as recognizing postures and movements. ASIMO can react to and be directed not only to voice commands, but also with a wide range of natural human movements. This makes it possible to, for example, recognize when a handshake is offered or when someone waved and Asimo respond appropriately. It can also recognize movement directions such as pointing.
3. Introduction of environment
Asimo can recognize objects and situations of the environment and act in a way that is safe for himself and people nearby. For example, recognizing potential hazards such as stairs, and avoid hitting humans or other moving objects.
4. Distinguishing sounds
ASIMO's ability to identify the source of the sound and be able to distinguish between the human voice and other sounds. It can respond to call his name, recognize people's faces when you're spoken to, and recognize unusual sounds such as the sound of a falling object or a collision, and turned her face towards it. Asimo can also answer questions, either with a curt nod, shaking his head or respond verbally.
5. Face recognition
ASIMO has the ability to recognize faces, even when ASIMO or the human being moved. Individually Asimo can recognize approximately 10 different faces and recognize facial owner's name if it has been registered before.
