QRIO moves dynamically thanks to his equipped joints with Intelligent Servo Actuadores or ISAs for his initials in English, it varies his gravity center to walk in the same way that the human beings. And it manages to detect changes in the surface on which he walks thanks to sensors in his feet, relies on sensors of pressure that there allow to detect external forces provenientes of the right, left side, front or behind, does not lose the balance, QRIO instinctively extracts his arms and is prepared for the fall, relaxing his servo actuadores, then he turns round to a frontal position and gets up.

Asimo: It´s a humanoid robot created in the year 2000 by the Honda company.The throwing of a robot capable of moving, interacting with the human beings and to help them, undoubtedly, one of the major technological prowesses of the XXIst century.

The objective of Honda is to create a humanoid robot capable of interacting with the persons and helping them doing to them the easiest and agreeable life. Some companies of Japan already use ASIMO’s services for promotional functions as receipt visitors’ .

To obtain ASIMO’s movements, Sling has studied and used like I shape the coordinated and complex movements of the human body. The proportions and the position of ASIMO’s joints look like those of a human being and, in the majority of the aspects, the robot realizes a set of movements comparable to ours.

Thanks to a new advanced system of mobility that Honda has implanted, ASIMO not only can advance and move back, but also moves laterally, raises and lowers stairs and one gives the return while walks. In this aspect, ASIMO is the robot that better imitates the natural movements of advance of the human beings

The combination of a very receptive hardware with the new technology “Posture Control” allows that ASIMO flexione the torso to support the balance and to avoid the skids and drafts in the air, which they are in the habit of being linked to the rapid movements.
