Meet Artemis, a robot developed by UCLA that plays football

Watch out, Lionel Messi the Artemis it is ready.

At 1.42 m and 38 kg, the Artemis It is one robot pioneer indeveloped by mechanical engineers from the Universityin from california in Los Angeles (UCLA), and is prepared to enter in field.

using technology in tip, the abbreviation, whichnifies Advanced Robotic Technology for Enhanced Mobility and Improved Stability, poin keep your balance against kicks and inheavy thrusts, resist objects thrown at it, and is capable in run. However, what sets it apart It is your abilityin in kick onethe ball.

“If your robot no poin nin to play onethe game in soccerhow can youinwould use these robots for more important things, like saving people’s lives?” said Dennis Hong, professor in mechanical and aerospace engineering and director of the Laboratory in Robotics and Mechanisms (RoMeLa) at UCLA, which indeveloped the Artemis.

The technologies used for robots who play soccer are also being used for other applications, such as firefighting and emergency indisasters, said Hong.

Inlet’s go Artemis cannot be in the next FIFA World Cup, the team in Hong will reveal all his capabilitiesins in soccer at RoboCup, in Borinaux, France, in the month of July.

The main innovation of robot is that engineers designed their stimulators – devices that generate movement from energy – for behavein like biological muscles. They are elastic and controlled by force, in instead of the rigid, position-controlled stimulators that most robots own.

RoMeLa student Justin Quan said his personal goal is to create robots that betterin people’s life.

“See these robots helping to bring robotics technology for the next level is really rewarding because you think, that dream it is approaching,” he said.
