Details of Wabian 2

Italian version, realized will have also one soon to Pontedera, in the laboratories of the Sant' school Anna, Wabian-2, the produced Japanese robot from the Waseda University. A sophisticated machine that walks like a human being, moves head, body, arms and hands and, soon, will change the expression makes them to second of the various "states of mind": joy, anger, misfortune, fear, sadness, surprise.

More than ventennale collaboration than search on the topics of the Robotics between the Advanced School Sant' Anna of Pisa and the Waseda University of Tokyo, siglata in agreements form them in 2001, it has produced in the time important turns out to you between which the Combined Laboratory on the Robotics Umanoide and Personale "RoboCasa".

"Robocasa Italy" is a structure where the investigators will have like first objective the creation of the umanoide robot. "It will have hands cybernetics and an artificial skin - the Paul Dario has explained professor, biorobotica teacher - and a brain that will concur to estimate and to analyze the external stimuli".

The relative plans you to Wabian-2 have been illustrate to you in the course of the conference Biorob 2006, to the Palacongressi of Pisa, where it has been made official an ulterior step ahead of the scientific exchanges between Italy and Japan, with the collaboration on the umanoide robotics between the Sant' School Anna and the Waseda University, that it will concur to open, in Tuscany, one twin structure to that one already existing from 2003 in the Japanese understood one them.

"it objects to It are important - the president of the Sant' School has explained Anna Riccardo Varaldo - the primary object of the combined search will be finalized to develop methodologies and innovative technologies for the planning and realization of it blots some and it arranges bioispirati and bioapplicati to advance performances".

The realization of Wabian-2 goes just in this direction. "Simulating the most possible human walk flettendo ginocchia and posizionando the foot in more ways - it has been explained - Wabian will supply us answers on human pathologies and it will help us to above all test ausilii for the locomozione, having therefore a practical application for old and disabili".
