^INTRODUCTION

^{Hi, it is estimated that by the year 2023 a 1000 dollar computer will reach the human brain potential for processing data. Which means that there is a huge market with hundreds of billions dollars waiting around the World for humanoid robots and intelligent systems. I am sure you will be able to improve your robot or to help promote the issue because it can really change the World for the good. You can also put a link to my website in yours; if you like. It can save many years to the technology if people read the tips and information.}

^{After more than 1000 years of the king regimes; the majority of slaves always thought that their life stile was annoying but normal:}

 ^{Humans in average only use 5% of their brain potential or intelligence and with the actual social structures they are not going to be able to survive; because it conduces to a sure way for destroying the special conditions in the Planet. They are also usually enslaved with different techniques, bad level education or systems, politic aspects in the name of freedom, security or what ever; to pay this huge undercover "communist" corruption:}

  ^{Number of Prisoners by Countries                              List of countries by population  (On Wiki)} 

^{which is retarding hundreds of years the possibility to get better technologies.}

^{(The big numbers on the list are trillions of dollars and in some cases are even more than what appears on the lists; but covered because of supposed national security, you can also see the World Bank data. After a few days of publishing the issue; someone did cover the Swiss dept per every person. I did the numbers its approx 250000 per person. As you can see they never give the exact numbers, but they are huge).}

^{This is why most of the humans still living basically like animals. Fighting or working their entire life for paying basic needs; but with the right tools, better education, better communication systems and technology you will be able to broke the chain:}

^{If you can produce food with intelligent systems and robots; that will give more time to the people to learn things and to be creative. Then; If you can liberate humans from repetitive tasks by using humanoid robots and intelligent systems; they will have even more time to create more things. But also If you can generate free clean energy tools (products) with the same logic (process) and give them additional tools and technology to patent ideas online within minutes; humans will be finally free of their basic animal needs and will be able to have even more time to live in a constant process of creativity. That will make you develop technologies like never before in history.}    

^{By commenting those issues to a young Israelite man working in Germany (electronic game programmer); the guy told me after a moment and a little afraid: "This is communism". Then I needed to quit because the train arrived to my station. But the answer is: A robot or a washing machine do not know what communist or imperialist or fascism means at least you program it for the issue; they just shut up and do the job while you enjoy your free time or while you are sitting or having fun in a more comfortable place. On the train was also a classical "well programed" German worker with square mind (biologist); he just was opposed to new ideas because he was afraid to lose its job and then he needed to quit because of its train station. An American politician some time ago said very worry about the economics: We have an energy crisis! The answer is: oil is 14% hydrogen and some dirty issues. Water is H2O and there are billions of stars in our Galaxy with more hydrogen spreading this clean stuff to their near planets. The car, war and oil industries have subjugate humans to one of the most vicious and undercover slavery systems where they tax oil and make people dependant on a toxic product to mobilize them selves. Then they use it as a pretext to spend huge amounts of the money taxes on military issues (and generating debt) to control everybody in the world. But oil can be easily be replaced with free clean renewable energy and electric cars. I think the only crisis is when the "busy working little ants" (in the Universe) forget what creativity means. Some practical solutions:  Clean Energy & Integral Solutions For The Car Industry. The main reason why new technologies and new products can be expensive is due to the human or cultural factor; because matter and energy are there for free. Robots and intelligent system can work day and night to transform the ambient, create all kind of products and give you services even for free. I mean what really matters is your life experience. With that information you can transform the Universe; but normally it is lost in time for not using the right tools or technology.}

^{If you want to build the next generation of humanoid robots try to read: "Some AI help for the PHD´ s" . Then watch also one by one the other robots (links) on my list. and try to identify which skills does each robot has; useful to improve your own robot (Make a list then try to resolve those issues). Try to identify also which are the main mistakes that you should avoid.}

^{You can watch also other technologies like on The Humanoid Robot. It can help to watch non humanoid robots to identify new or useful technologies; but first what is the main issue: Humanoid Robots one by one... It is important to consider that each person or engineer in the process of analysis and creativity can understand different things or invent new tools. After that if you have time or if you work with other engineers try to organize your self to be able to watch and analyze other technologies; so you can find more useful concepts for your own needs (Additional Robots & Tech)... Post Data: I did add the photos and links of all the robots useful to improve the hands and arms. Then you can choose and start to apply those technologies to make a better project or robot design...  By following that process you will save many years and maybe also money. Some of the most annoying parts of the job I already did it for you. Next comes some considerations for the new robot HRP-4C and interesting points useful for other humanoid robot projects. Try to be patient because I still learning English and try to take a look (every month) on the issues of interest mentioned here, because I still improving the ideas and discovering new things. Have fun:} 

 ^{MAIN IDEAS}

^{You do not need to use the same logic or the same "skeletal" structure or actuators for building the legs, the arms or the body. Because you can find better or different technologies useful for your needs and combine it. Always remember it is a humanoid robot not a human; so you can combine every aspect that gives better performance useful for your needs.}

^{1) If you put shock absorbers or linear actuators inside the body (something like those long shock absorbers for opening the back door of a car (with the proper size); I mean to be able to give a smooth movement) between the legs section (Hip) and the upside part of the body (in the front, the back, and the sides) it will be a solution against the vibration when the robot walks or stop walking (but without losing the capability to make those turns...) To stabilize with the help of sensors its not enough; you need to consider the physics and the structure of the body; reacting with gravity, movements and impacts. Post Data 2009, new:  Watch the next mechanism. Maybe it can be useful to add it into the torso over the "turning hip mechanism"  OMNIZERO 6  (Takeshi Maeda) ; maybe it can facilitate the lateral movements of the arms and torso. I mean "to replace the spine". Or even if you can build smaller ones, you will be able to mount it one over the other:}  

^{Potential Spine or neck Mechanism, Hexapod 6 Axis:  *  (Photos)}

Silf H2   *  (Photos)
 (Katsuhisa Ito)

^{Or something elastic to replace the muscles, the spine and the lungs effects; I mean the capability to absorb "impacts" (energy) by walking.  Beta Gel  (wait after the commercials because those idiots spies corrupted in the USA are messing up every video they can, lol) Or you can even try to give more flexibility to the torso (RoboSapien) and chest. At this point try to concentrate on the issues I am talking about not on the obvious mistakes of the mentioned robots... it is always important to consider how to give more flexibility to the robots (watch point 23 and 24 on this page; its important). You can also make the chest to be able to turn 90º or 180º; for example; which is also a very practical tool for robots in space: Watch OMNIZERO 2  how effective it is by doing this. After some time this  "Robo Wrestling"  did learn the trick also. The other advantage is that because of the separate parts there is a space where the energy can dissipate; avoiding some of the vibration which normally flows to the head, arms and hands; with each step. So you can even build other articulated sections in the torso to give more flexibility to the body. "Champion" Sarga : Interesting video, those robot skills are very important to consider. It looks like a between improved Omnizero 2 and an improved Bioloid.}

^{Post Data: This other robot has a very interesting mechanism for the chest-arms because it can make those turns, maybe adding that skill to the up part of OMNIZERO 6 will be great, it will be like to keep its old skill to be able to make those turns and combine it with its new mechanism, up and down (double):}

Melissa can do it too (second video):

^{Sexy robots are cool but If you want to build a super efficient robot: Pay attention to the simplicity and effectiveness of the OMNIZERO 2 legs or this model of (King Kizer). If you can build more powerful half cylindric actuators and keep the leg closer as possible to the ground (at the corner where it reach the foot; but with the up part shaped like a cylindric actuator  (like the purple shape on the link but cut horizontally in the middle). Or you can just use a cylindric actuator and install it in a proper shaped part for the foot platform; for example: PolyJet Rapid Prototyping  * can be useful to manufacture lightweight robot parts (prototypes) to be able to integrate it better with cylindric or the right actuators. Try to keep the structure of that sort of arc effect on the legs (OMNIZERO 2); it will be great. In the middle of the leg (horizontally) you can put just a cylindric actuator. All those issues will be useful to improve many other robots legs. The future OMNIZERO robot legs instead of keeping its great flexibility or improve it; became worse. Because of copying the mistakes of the supposed better or normal robots or because of adding linear actuators in the wrong place or because of the new commercial or standard actuators with its structural mistakes... But it is fair to mention that the new OMNIZERO 6 has some great skills.} 

^{If you don´t have many millions do not worry too much about fabricating or putting "super powerful computers" inside the robot to make it more intelligent; the most important is to make the body movements flexible as possible (Tanker standing up); other way you will need to restart designing every time. Each year computers are smaller because there is already a market going on... so not problem with the computer power for the intelligent issue; in the near future. By 2023 it is estimated that a 1000 dollar computer will reach the human brain potential for processing data.}

^{Now try to keep in mind the shape of the outside part of the OMNIZERO 2 legs (the guys who did that are genius; I mean the idea is great: they did find a simple solution to do something that nature took millions of years to achieve and that many PHDs do not understand at the moment: Two external bones for each leg instead of one in the middle and it does not matter if they broke because the robot will not get infected or complicated and will not die; in terms of evolution) and imagine that in the middle between the normal actuators where it is a "free space" you can put two linear actuators (on the up part of the leg, the thigh) on each side but flat on each part to be attach; I mean if you "cut" that piece of leg horizontally. And then attach it together with linear actuators or "a special shock absorber" or you can even combine linear actuators integrated with shock absorbers (materials); to have double function (the ability to change size in the legs but also to absorb impacts with each step). Think also about how to build almost flat linear actuators ("rectangular - cubic - curved") to attach it besides the leg. Watch the image below from Mark Ho. Imagine if that metallic band besides the leg was a linear actuator (approx. with the same shape) and to be able to "enlarge" on the last section. That way you can keep the properties of the robot legs with its normal actuators (cylindric or "cubic") in the junctures plus adding a new skill which is to be able to increase size and to have the muscle and power effect of a human leg but also an additional advantage (to jump; for example). So those new actuators will be activated only for "seconds" in the right moment... in that context try to give the proper size to the robot; to be able to match with the actuators or the technology available on the market; at least you can produce your own actuators integrated with the robot parts; I mean for your special needs...}  

 ^{Mark Ho}

^{Or something like this but with linear actuators incorporated in those bars}

^{(You can try with two on each side to give more stability, but it is depending on the weight they have)
Firgelli L-12 Linear Actuator   *}

^{By making the mentioned improvement (on the legs) the robot will be able to stand or to take position like a boxer or a facing posture; which is very important to achieve at least 50% of the human body skills and strength useful for many activities. Also to jump and walk or to run much more faster. Watch what happens when you put linear actuators attaching the leg parts in the wrong place and with the wrong function; I mean the linear actuator cant do what the cylindric actuator needs to do in the junctures; to make "good steps". He is just moving the legs almost in the same place: Dexter 3.3 Walking Robot. And watch what happens when a robot has no linear actuators or cant change size on the legs; the movements are rigid and it cant run; he needs to walk like and old man: REEM-B. And this other robot can walk pretty good and even run but he will never be able to jump or run faster than that; because the up part of the leg can not change size; because it does not have linear actuators on the up part of the leg to imitate the muscles effect (or to have even better performance); so it looks like he is jumping when he runs but it really inst. He is more like profiting gravity with each step: Asimo slow motion.  Wabian-2 / Kobian  have some stile.  So of course you can combine both actuators to improve it ; if you like send me an e-mail I will help you with some other technical issues... I have now a little secret that will allow a humanoid robot to run faster than Asimo and the new Toyota robot...}

^{There are some new legs 2009, I will like to watch them walking. Because I have an idea what is going to happen...}

(Paper)  LIRMM

^{The big lesson to learn with the OMNIZERO 2  legs is how effective they are in terms of the aerodynamics; this is due to the empty spaces in the middle of the legs. And part of the good performance is due to the shape, lightweight legs and also the actuators located in the right position. Which means that you can build very effective and lightweight legs for robots at a relatively low cost. Just if you want to make it look more "elegant"; you can recover the metal parts with a plastic solution or use new stronger and lightweight materials to build them or Cryogenic tech . If you will need to use the robot to work between bushes or plants for example; it is just about to cover the holes with a special pant...  Plastic Polymer Strong as Steel (U. Of Michigan) / Rowenta Shock Absorber ; For example. But if you do not need it just keep the "holes" because it gives lightweight and better aerodynamics... It is not just about to copy a human leg but to use what is better for your needs... The other lesson to learn is how a little cheap robot can be much more efficient in some issues than other big an expensive robots with "blind" engineers who do not pay attention on important robotic issues happening around the world.}

^{To have a reference for the body quality of your robot it is always good to see the performance of the junctures. I mean if they are fast as humans; for example: how it moves the foot vertically which is essential to have a faster running robot. If your robot cant do that well try to redesign or put better actuators or you can even change the position of some parts or try to use lightweight materials; it is possible. Try to evaluate and control the performance of each juncture; then redesign if its necessary or try to find a better solution.}

^{If you will like the robot to have a great flexibility; I mean to be able to open the legs like a ballet dancer watch this system but do not just copy the other parts of the legs; there are mistakes on it: Robonova Zembekiko Dance.  Do not worry about the robotic aspect of the juncture because you can cover it with a flexible material. Watch also the up part of the leg; I mean the juncture of:  RBT-1 ,  SDR-4x (Sony) & Koeda  (video) Take the best concepts; do not copy the whole leg.}

^{So the up part of the leg I already describe it; but the part bellow can be something like this:}

^{ÖSSUR Power Knee  (but if the performance is better with the external bones; like Omnizero keep that concept)}

<sup>Watch also: Hermes Prosthetic  (Spring Active, Inc.) / PowerFoot / (Wabian 2R - Takanishi - Waseda U. Japan)   / Asimo Running Slow Motion / Robot Leg (prothesis) / ÖSSUR Foot / ÖSSUR Power Knee / Blatchford / LEGS & MUSCLES. You can also put a shock absorber material under the shoes (feet) or little shock absorbers under the heel; which must touch the ground first to give a little angle to the foot. That will make each step more gentle (smooth).  Denise   *   (Tu Delft).  Its  interesting Denise: the curved  sole;  because it makes smoother each step.  If you can design a robot shoe with a little curved sole for flat terrains and then to be able to change its form for wet, snowy, etc. terrains that will be very practical. Maybe you can use the Beta Gel in some parts and also try to find some information about the best air shoes... Note: If you put a whole sole under the foot or shoe with not enough hard-elastic material; the robot will lose stability and can fall down.

Watch the foot (shoe) on the Mark Ho robot, it is very interesting to consider to put a cylindric actuator there.

Post Data 07/30/2009. This is just great Toyota did it! :</sup>

Toyota Fast Running Robot

If you use the tripod or "Readybot concept" for
the up part of the Toyota Robot leg, it will allow him to run even
faster (beyond the human model) while keeping the necessary stability.

Post Data October 2009:

Boston Dynamics did some interesting improvements but the mistake is that the legs mechanism apparently work with compressed hair, hydraulic actuators or a motor engine... So what do you do by transporting that annoying thing on its body? It is the same problem that has the Big Dog robot. It will be better to try to use the concept of the cell phone battery to be able to change them faster or to recharge it some where while the robot is walking or even using a car or any additional transportation system which can provide him with electricity... the issue here is not to achieve super autonomy but super body flexibility and skills... then the electricity issue can be resolved in time with creative solutions; at least you want to use this stuff in a nuclear war or send it near Jupiter... which is not helpful for the moment because you can use humanoid robots for much more practical issues. And there are  other technical problems easy to see because of the same issue... like no "cylindric" actuators on the knee? How can you have good control of the legs like that? This is not enough... I think this is the reason why the video do not shows when the robot stop walking; do not tell me that I did not told you, lol. Those hard heads do not get it, it is not about to copy a human leg like that.... because it will not work and I do not need to make any calculations for that... If someone is planing to steal 10 million dollars from the money taxes for this or something like that, I will need to tell you that you can buy many other good robots and they will work much better than this...

^{Also, it is important this movement but 45º aprox to the other side...}

^{1.A) The concept of claw: Humanoid robots are that; Humanoids not humans. Which means that you can give them extra capabilities. You can build all size claws and apply the concept to the foot or leg: For example watch: Robot Cat  If you use aprox the shape of those legs and install it as claws; three or two opened in angle in the front of the shoe pointing to the sky and even better laying by the curved side on the leg... and to be able to be activated with the help of sensors each time the robot receives an impact on its body or when it reachs a falling angle. It will be a great tool to stabilize the robot or to avoid falling. You can put those also on the back of the shoe or foot. For example, you can imitate the Achilles tendon effect on the heel with one of those claws but also install it on the sides of the ankle or heel; two more and longer than the one in the middle. And cover the first part with a shock absorber material while the external claws can operate more freely. You can even build bigger "claws" with the same shape or similar and install it besides the knee (maybe covered with a rubber material or the Geko *   technology and material: on the extreme); so they can be activated and to be able to "open" like a tripod on the direction of the back side of the robot. So the robot should have four main strategies or reactions by receiving an impact or by losing stability: Bend, opening the legs in the opposite side where the impact comes and/or use nails (claws) or the ultra light tripod tool (effect; watch 1.B). Plus opening the arms into the right position... of course. And even jumping, to find the right position and stabilize its also a solution. I just saw the OMNIZERO 6 this concept is on the hands (some days after writing this idea): watch how fast the devise on the arms can move (open & close). It can help you to have a better idea about how to use the concept of claws on the legs, feet or shoes. Amazing just what I was talking about!}

 OMNIZERO 6
 (Takeshi Maeda)

 

^{1.B) Ultralight "tripod tool" or actuator: Imagine a devise that you can screw in; on different parts of the robot (legs, arms or its back; for example) to use it as a tool to give more stability and/or additional strength. To understand better you can buy this: Velbon rup-43 it will give you an idea how the mechanism works. It is an alternative tool to the tripod; useful for taking photos or making videos. Now if you got the idea; watch those videos: 4TET  * /  The iRobot PackBot : Watch the robotic arm to give you a better idea of the sizes. My idea can be faster or more efficient than this other system. But watch it because it is also interesting: Geosystemsinc.com .  I did send some ideas to NASA some years ago; but the little assholes in charge never answered back; but they did those devices (This is part of the reason why American engineers did fail building walking humanoid robots; because of a wrong world order with perverse patent system between order issues; which promotes corrupted, mean and elitist people willing to profit humanity instead of really helping us for development; there are solutions for that: you can read Some AI help for the PHDs on my website and how to transform to a better robotic society). This year someone answered the e-mail and said thank you; so you are welcome! But those engineers are like snails or maybe it is their system... Communism for some institutions who simple steal huge amounts of the money taxes for weapons, stupid things and free market when is convenient? Try to do a balance.. Other thing: I will like to know who was the idiot in charge of the robotics USA national plan to decide spending millions of dollars in modular robots and to make a program like that based on a futuristic war monger movie; instead of building a good humanoid robot (DARPA?). You cant even make a proper walking biped robot and you wanna fly with metamorphosis and nanotech issues. Come on guys too much cannabis on the scene. Wake up! You need to teach the baby how to walk, then how to ride a bicycle, then how to drive a car, then how to fly an airplane... If you do the opposite; those are the results = Bad; on humanoid robots.}

^{But there are some good issues also; those devises 4TET  *  were not my original idea but they took the concept and did develop part of it. So you can use it now to make a good tool to stabilize the robot. But not only that; you can even "insert" it between the foot and leg, between the hand and arm or use it in almost every part of the body or even you can put a robotic hand (or tool) on the external side. So your humanoid robot can have an additional tool or hand. Which can help to work or walk outside the space shuttle; for example. If you install two of them on the back of the robot and to be able to be open as a tripod tool; they can retract very good to follow the shape of the body and then be activated before the robot falls down; for example. Instead of building them round; you can give it a little curved shape (to the tubes); which can help with the aerodynamics on the arms, legs or the back... Imagine also a robot which can change sizes on its arms and legs. :-) So for example: if you need to paint the walls of a room; the robot will not need to use stairs which means it will be able to do the work faster than humans. Or imagine if its walking in low gravity in other planet it will be able to stabilize before falling (with its retractable sticks). Or to have special strength when it is exposed to heavy weight or gravity forces. So instead of having a biped robot you can have almost a quadruped robot or more by installing the devices on the arms; for example. Plus having the possibility of keeping free hands. The big advantage is that those retractable devices (actuators) do not need necessarily to be "installed" inside the body, legs or arms; you can just attach it. For sports for example: if the robot is playing soccer instead of kicking the ball with the foot he can continue running while the device besides the leg can give a whole turn and kick the ball... now, installed on the arms there are also a lot of applications... I have a trick to improve the mechanism if you are interested send me an e-mail.}

^{The mentioned devices (1.B) will help you also to avoid those "funny" tools to keep the robot standing when it is in off mode. You can take the concept of Leg-Wheeled robots  (Photos) and incorporate it to the 1.B device. I mean to install little wheels on it to avoid the tool to hung humanoid robots in the experimental level (something like a baby walking car; effect). The advantage is that you can use it also for extreme whether conditions or dangerous situations; for example.}

^{1.C) Someone said the problem with artificial muscles is that they cant react faster to reach the necessary strength as the alive muscles...}

^{But I say: even if they will do it (in time thanks to the new technologies) they will have some limitations like gravity affecting them. The good thing is that they are stronger and do not get tired. So why not combine "normal" actuators and the tools I already mentioned (1.A  and 1.B and the first ideas) to improve their performance instead of waiting who knows when to reach the proper speed or quality, and even to be able to add extra skills better than humans or animals?  If you combine well the proper technologies they are ready to be used effectively right now... again the problem was not technology but people thinking like standard humans. I mean trying to copy the supposed "ideal model" instead of finding effective solutions. Of course you can build much better or stronger joints (cylindric actuators), linear actuators and combine it with artificial muscles and other tools. To build a super arm...}

^{Watch; Artificial Muscles: Competition  /  Robots could flex muscles that are stronger than steel  /   Superelastic Carbon Nanotube Aerogel Muscles  /  Hizook.com - Artificial Muscles}

^{To give you an example: The Arm Wrestling Contest. Humans think and play the game to see who has stronger arms or muscles; but a humanoid robot can do better than that. If you install the devise (1.B) on the arm. It it will only need to activate it in the opposite direction where the rival is applying force and problem resolved. It will not lose because you have the equivalent of a vertical stick in the right position avoiding more movement or gravity affecting its arm in that direction. So what its important is not who wins a game but how to give the robot more skills and good solutions useful for real life. While you improve technologies. The other important issue that we should not forget is that artificial muscles just to copy the human model is not efficient, because cylindric actuators can give you more degrees of freedom; for example.} 

^{1.D) Robot battles (games) should not lead the evolution of humanoid robots; they should be just a reference. Other way you will end up with sort of crabs or monsters that can obviously win a transitory biped robot. You need to combine the best actuators to make the robot more efficient for working or to be useful for different tasks.} 

^{It is not so good to saturate the legs or arms with the same sort of actuator by adding more and more. Which at the end results on a robot that do not falls down when it takes a strategic posture; but it is a non stable biped or the other problem is that it will never be able to reach enough elasticity (to be able to increase size on its legs and arms, to react fast and take the right position after an impact; nor to jump or to run faster). For example: (Oro robot - Farrell Robotics). The same for robot games or soccer they just encapsulate the robot evolution into some parameters which do not help them well to build it better or improve it faster. I think the best way to improve robots is by building humanoid robot competitions for "normal" tasks. The house, the garden, the farm, the office, the car, nursing, teaching, and all kind of sports; not only one with its particular rules...}

^{2) It is important to make robots autonomous and tele-operated but also interactive. So you can put a flexible but non permanent fixed video screen on the back and front; to allow people to choose between different sizes of screens (adaptable for their needs) or to be able to bring it with them. Or you can use a video laser projector (Ultra small projector) on the arm (wrist) or other parts of the body. That will allow to show images of a teacher; an "important" person or all kind of images; to be able to use the robot for many more services; like teaching, nursing, as a tourist guide or to have fast access to the Internet to be able to use interactive lessons, to watch your e-mails or hear them, to use a messenger... Also to be able to have better softwares or intelligent system tools or even to install or uninstall programs into the robot according to their needs; faster. Watch also: ROVIO  *  /  Unveiling the "Sixth Sense," game-changing wearable tech = New Interface for Mobile Robots  Watch this example to understand better how important is to allow the robot to show images. Interactive teacher: Thrashbot vs Jayrome - Cherub Rock Expert}

 ^{Transparent Carbon Nanotube Films : Ultralight flexible screens can allow  you to show images all around the body of a robot. Or can be useful for camouflage. Flexible Screen China}

 ^{Atmel Touch Technology :  Quantum Research Group.}

  ^{Ultra-Thin Imagers}  

  ^{Inertial Sensors and Accelerometers}

^{3) Brain Computer Interface  (Photos) technology its a good idea to develop; for that purpose to visualize on a screen or projector as I did mention in point 2) It is important also. If you can watch some commands on a menu then you can activate them just by thinking on it; instead of using the hands, a remote control or a laser; I mean as a good complement.} 

^{New Interface for Mobile Robots Imagine this system but just activated by thoughts. So you can watch the arrows to tell the robot to approach, to stop or turn to its right; for example.} 

^{Emotiv.com - Play Video Games by Thinking About It   (Photos)    Emotiv.com}

^{4) You can add the bone transmitted sound technology ; to avoid the headphones. I mean to be able to hear and communicate with the robot directly into your head (ears). Today those devises are smaller and practical.  Bone Transmited Sound
This video (Bush and his Clones) shows you former President Bush using the technology; the problem with the pupped was that if you have a corrupted system who spends more than 700 billion dollars (from the money taxes) per year on Military Expenditures and 800 billion dollars per year to import and burn oil or with more than 11 trillion dollars debt; it will not work on the economic and moral aspects... so the technology do not make you more intelligent for building walking humanoid robots (useful for many tasks) but can help to communicate. When you are in the sea; for example :-). The "good" part of the story is that they did try to politically cover thousands of people disabled because of the war for oil; so they did build a great robotic arm for the injured soldiers Dean Kamen´ s Robotic Arm   (Photos). But the barbarians got trap on TV when they were talking about to resend those soldiers to the battle field with robotic arms or legs... and of course in a population of 300 million people there are always some idiots willing to play the heroes in the name of oil and dirty business with weapons; the gangster criminals in charge understood that by statistics. I think... but I have good information also: Cost of the war for oil = 500 Twin Towers lost + one million people dead = 198 Osama bin Ladens and Two Sadams together = one Bush with its daddy and the asshole of the CIA who did lie about the nuclear threat = conservatives values as they call it...}

^{So here is the good part: you can buy a great robotic arm for 60 thousand dollars each or both for 100 thousands (or even for less; today) if you make a good deal; which is not bad at all considering all the time that it requires (watch number 6) on this page). In the case of HRP-4C I think the hands needs to be improved first; because the arms are well done for the moment. By the way, talking about gangsters what are those guys of the Pentagon doing by receiving more than 100 billions dollars per year from the money taxes? If you are one of those tell your boss to make a nice deposit (one billion will be good; at the end of my robot list its the account) that will help development and to resolve the economics; while you play the little soldiers... 1 % will not make any difference to your pocket but can resolve good issues about intelligent systems and humanoid robots :-) Smile.}

^{Do not worry as a nation if the cost of creating a humanoid robot its expensive. Because once you build it with a good quality it will pay back or reduce costs for development in many aspects. Plus the materials to build it do not cost much; what its expensive is just the first stage; I mean to get the technology.}

 ^{External Debts by Countries The big numbers at the top of the list are trillions of dollars and are approximately. Every person living in the planet comes to the world with more than 9000 dollar debt. So in the world context that means that a very hight percent of them will never see that amount of money on their hands or their bank account; if they have it.  So an easy solution against those gangsters or worldwide banker mafia, weapon industry mafia and others: Its to declare your country in bankruptcy in terms of healthy development and then to unify with your neighbor and refund a new nation with other name and constitution; plus declare illegal any debt with interest made on a war context or to buy weapons; because it has been maid on extreme conditions and without the real knowledge of the population. Plus the new constitution should indicate that it is illegal to make external debts for more than ten years or if the investments did not generate enough surplus to pay the total amount or if the total amount plus a 10 % was already paid; for example. If debts are maid for not to be able to be paid that will mean that those debts were maid as a corrupted and irresponsible system for exploitation which are affecting people or nations. Because the meaning of debt if it is not corrupted should help not to destroy the social health or public interest. If someone gives money or make loans; both parts should be responsible on the business and assume its responsibilities like in a normal private company (not play the communist or imperialist gangster under the table with "legal" strategies or camouflage and then make future generations of millions of people all around the World to pay the issue; this bullshit is nothing more than gangster structure, armed and very organized). The same for internal debts...}

^{After implementing those new policies against the organized crime you can save huge amounts of money which can be invested on clean renewable energy systems, intelligent systems, a much better worldwide patent intelligent system and robotics; for example. And who cares if the name for the new nation will be Bon Jovi II or Robotland but you resolve the problem. So; no debt for the dead no debt for the dead country... and no debts for the children; simple as that. Military Expenditures in the World}

^{5) If you start to sell the robot; try to explain the customers how important is the interactivity issue so you can sell them a complete package of softwares to improve its productivity. Humanoid Robots and intelligent systems have the potential to be great teachers; like never before for humanity. Those tools can be great for helping the human teachers also but even better they can make every person around the world teachers. That will be able to low the cost of building schools & universities and be useful every where you go; all around the world. I mean imagine the capability of having in real time 30 or more experts on many issues; every where you go... so people instead of using just 5% of their potential or intelligence (on average) they will be able to reach at least 50%. Imagine if we will be able to have for each person living in this planet (6800 million) at least one humanoid robot with intelligent systems. That will increase productivity and human life quality like never before because it can help technology and save hundreds of years for development; each year. Giving the chance to the people of a much more efficient way to learn, invent, or patent more things and ideas within minutes.} 

^{6) The hands should curve a little on the sides and be partially close by walking or standing; it will look more natural. But if you can make your robot run then it can make sense to open the hands and put it straight; other way it will make the robot more rigid. Watch on the list the green links; for example: i-Limb HAND  (Photos) /  Dean Kamen´ s Robotic Arm  You  can buy  those  arms or hands; you do not need to produce all by your self; that way you will save money and time.}
