Iowa State University has developed a learning robot
Iowa State University has developed their own humanoid robot to perform procedural learning. Though the robot lacks a lower body and is therefore unable to move around on its own, it has two (rather large) Barrett Whole Arm Manipulators for arms, and a custom-designed head with stereo vision capable of simple emotional expression. Its three-fingered hands are flexible enough to perform a variety of grasping motions, using fingers 1 and 3 as opposable thumbs when necessary.
The philosophy behind the research is to teach the robot the properties of its surroundings similar to the way a child or animal learns during early development, through direct experience. The robot has already learned to identify objects from the sounds they make when being touched, pushed, held, and shaken.
The robot used a pair of scissors to cut the ceremonial ribbon for the opening of Iowa State University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering building, where the robot makes its home in the Developmental Robotics Lab. Izaak Moody, an undergraduate in the College of Art and Design, is responsible for designing the robot’s friendly head, and has created some nice rendered animations showing the robot’s emotional range. The previously posted robot Archie from the Universities of Manitoba and Vienna could learn a lot from this. Videos and media after the break.

fashion model robot HRP-4C,Launched Tokyo Fashion Week 2009
The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology created a walking, talking, posing, expressing, fashion model robot. The model robot has already her moves down, along with 2 super-poses, and rumor has it that she's already dating Robocop and the Terminator.The
modelrobot has already her moves down, along with 2 super-poses, and rumor has it that she's already dating Robocop and the Terminator.The modelbot HRP-4C, weighing 43 kilograms , is 158cm tall with black hair, and is scheduled to make a debut at a top Tokyo fashion show-without any clothes.She's got 30 motors in her whole body, with 8 in her face which would allow her to greet Asimo with a smile-not that he could smile back being such a mysterious space helmet head..HRP-4C has the possibility to grow in future versions of the NIAIST just as soon as they figure out how to make her stand up on even thinner, longer legs.
