Para peneliti tersebut pun memilih bentuk capung karena dinilai serangga tersebut dapat bergerak secara agresif. Selain itu, mereka pun memilih capung karena merupakan salah satu predator dalam rantai makanan. Dan, jenis predator seperti capung dinilai sangat layak untuk melakukan tugas mata-mata.
Robot ini dilengkapi dengan WiFi serta 20 jenis sensor. Dan, untuk memudahkan penggunaan, para pemilik robot ini bisa memakai smartphone atau komputer untuk mengatur geakannya. Robot ini dilengkapi dengan empat sayap mekanis, motor serta baterai lithium plymer.
Robot ini pun bisa diperoleh kalangan publik. Dan, TechJet Dragonfly ini ditawarkan dengan harga sebesar $99 USD. Selain itu, pihak produsen juga menawarkan versi lain dengan harga yang lebih mahal.
Ping-pong robot learns to play like a person
A ROBOT that learns to play ping-pong from humans and
improves as it competes against them could be the best robotic
table-tennis challenger the world has seen.
Katharina Muelling
and colleagues at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany
suspended a robotic arm from the ceiling and equipped it with a camera
that watches the playing area. Then Muelling physically guided the arm
through different shots to return incoming balls.
The arm was then left to draw on its
training to return balls hit by a human opponent. When the ball was in a
position it had not seen before, the arm used its library of shots to
improvise new ones. After an hour of unassisted practise, the system
successfully returned 88 per cent of shots.
Other robots have played table tennis in the past, but none have used human demonstration to learn the game. Ales Ude of the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia says that doing so allows robots to play more like people.
The work,
which will be presented at an AAAI symposium in Arlington, Virginia,
next month, is part of a broader goal to develop robots that can do a
range of tasks after being guided by their owners, Muelling says.
