The prototype ankle lessens fatigue and also looks very similar to a normal ankle.
Kayleyne Beighey, Period 6
I chose the article: Human Body Spare Parts: the Robotic Ankle
I found it interesting that the ankle uses tendon- like spring and an electric motor to continuously propel the user forward.

period 8
the robot from time magazine is really creepy!!!why in the world does a robot need working kidneys and plastic blood??? this is the last thing i need in my life!!!
Nolan-1st
Robotic limbs move with the expansion and contraction of pistons, which are much like our muscles.
Stroup 1st
The ankle prototype is more comfortable than other prototypes and it is very similar to a human ankle so it is hard to notice.

Robotic Ankle Article
I think it is interesting that it they tested it and actually worked on a war veteran, and is still in use
Kevin Mitchell 1st
I think the ASIMO robot in the third link is pretty cool. It has the ability to interact with its environment by detecting nearby objects.
i choose Robotics and Artificial Intelligence the arm holding the apple looks cool and it would help poeple with out a arm and uses the same method as the arm
geovanni alfaro 1st
on the dicovery website i like how in the volkswagen factory they have a tower of cars and you tell a machine which one you want and it selects the car for you and puts it down through a transport system

Working Robot Pictures
It has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements, making it the world's most advanced robot hand.
Reyes-1st
The robot arm has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements. AND it can pick up an apple without buising it. COOL
SDPearson 2nd
A prototype robotic ankle is now being tested on several people and could eventually be used to replace lost limbs for US soldiers who suffered injuries in war. I think thats quite awesome :)
Raven R. Moore, 2nd
I really love the idea of the prototype robotic ankle. I especially love the fact that it can be used for soldiers with lost limbs. Also, it's pretty cool that it uses tendon-like springs and and electric motor.
Nichole Marshall, 2nd period
The Robot ankle is pretty interesting because when they use that ankle, that person feels less fatigue while experiencing improved balance. It is a good invention for people with diabilities.
Emily Wallace 2nd (:
The robotic arm has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements, making it the world's most advanced robot hand. It can even hold an apple without bruising it. That's incredible.
Delton Scott 2nd
the Shadow Robot is interesting. this robot has 40 moving air muscles, which sounds crazy to me. however, it is also gentle enough that it can pick up a fruit such as the apple, without harming or bruising it, good job guys :D
NAHUM SANCHEZZZ
2ND PERIODDD
The robotic ankle looks pretty cool.they can replace people now and its more coftorable.
Maryori Giron
2nd period
people are afraid that robots will put many people out of jobs.And while expirts confirm this to be ture they say that the repair, design ,and maintenance of the robots
Grayson Skidmore 2nd
The Sadow robot has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements. Making this robot hand the most advanced.
Raven R. Moore, 2nd
I think its cool that a new robitized ankle will be used to replace the lost limbs of soilders from the war.
-Mikaela Period 2
I like the Working Robot Pictures becuase if they can handle something as delicate as an apple it'll be able to handle more things without messing them up unlike, many robots! Making up the hand is 40 air muscles and it is capable of 24 movements, making it the world's most advanced robot hand.
Tyvan Tipps, 2nd
I found that humans and robots are very similar. Humans survive with the help of lungs, circulatory systems and digestive tracts, while robots need electrical power, and often pressurized pumps for hydraulic or pneumatic valves.
Gabriel Garrett 2
The Transformer, the robot with a skeleton that can transform into a snake like things. need a car transformer just saying
-Andrew Gipson, 2nd
I think the robotic ankle is pretty cool and can replace it for people that are hurt.
Maryori Giron
2nd period
the Robotic Ankle is a a new robotic ankle who iraq people who were in the war. they can use the robotic ankle when suffered injuries. its been tested on other people.
-karen torres 2nd
In the article Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, the ASIMO robot sounds pretty cool. its like a maid or somthing. its 4ft and three inches, its not real big either or menacing.
Salvador Rodriguez, 2nd
I picked the prototype robotic ankle because it can be used to be tested on several people who needs it and can be used to replace lost limbs for US soldiers who suffered injuries in the Iraq war.
kadejiaflanagan
2nd
The article that I chose was the robotic ankle. Its sad that Garth Stewart lost his left leg below the knee in an explosion. Tendon-like springs and electric motors were used to operate the robotic ankle. Thats kinda cool when you think about it.
Ka'Lyn Gladney 2nd
I found the ASIMO very intresting. Sensors let ASIMO work in a dynamic setting. It has floor surface sensors in its feet and multiple ultrasonic sensors in its midsection, which enhance ASIMO's ability to interact with its environment by detecting nearby objects and comparing their locations with area maps stored in ASIMO's memory.
I took a look at this topic: Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
There are many different picture showing how far technology has come. Maybe robots could take over in the future?

i like the robot prosethetic limbs because of them just being fo looks ro basic balence tool they can now function like normal.

kolten king
I chose the robot ankle thing cause I mean thats so cool! You can replace a limb that you lost (or never had) and it will work! Thats so cool! Also the prototype ankle lessens fatigue because the person is constantly propelled forward because of tendon-like springs which is good cause I bet lugging around a fake ankle would get pretty hard.
Miranda Cheever 6th
The woking robot arm is quiet impressing it can grab an apple without bursting it. Also it works way better than a better than a human hand kind of creepy but cool.
Cruz-6
i like how they did the robot from the magazine trying it look like a real human with all those plstic blood bags and the heart and the hands.
ignacio Sanchez
I like the robotic patient because it can help train doctors and such. For example it can be used by surgeons to practice in school. That way they will be skilled. Plus they wouldn't make rookie mistakes.
Fernando Rodriguez, 6th Period
the shadowrobot companys arm robot is able to pick up an apple without bruising it.
untiedt, 7th
i would say the robotic ancle
because it is controlled by tendens in yor leg or ether by brain

The prototype ankle looks comfortable and looks like a normal ankle.Someday i'll be a robot.
Anthony Martinez

Spanish researchers are looking into a robotic future that will maybe take place in 12 years, integrating robotics with the human body.
Vazquez Manuel , 7th
A new prototype robotic ankle is now being tested on several people and could eventually be used to replace lost limbs for US soldiers who suffered injuries in the Iraq war. This is freaking awesome i mean to be told that you will never walk again and all of a sudden you found out that you can dance with your daughter at her wedding or that you can walk with your wife on the beach again. That is a life changing thing that will deeply impact several people.
Tyler Johnston, 7th
Article: Human Body Spare Parts
The robotic ankle looks very similar to the human foot, because it uses tendon like springs and electric motors to move itself forward.
Hill, 7th
The robot arm is swag. It says here that the arm is capable of 24 movements, if that's not swag I don't know what is. To end this awesome entry it says that the arm has 40 air muscles, this is overly swag and effecient. = Swefficient.
Courtney - 7
I think the robotic arms are similar to human arms and muscles.
McShan -7th
they are planning on making intelligent implants in the brain, which will improve our rational thought. Also putting nanorobots in the blood to clean our arteries.
i liked that the robotic ankle does more than acting as balance aid
Denerrell Jones 7th
the electric ankle uses tendon-like springs and an electric motor.
thomas mcclendon 7th
The Shadow Robot company's hand robot has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements, making it the world's most advanced robot hand. It can even hold an apple without bruising it.
Kline-7th
Their is a robot arm that can move 24 different ways with 40 air muscles and can hold an apple with out bruising it.

Marisol Alvarado- 7th period
The article I chose was Robotics and Artificial Intelligence: Working Robot Pictures
Robotic welders are a common sight in automotive factories. Robotic arms are welding a vehicle body as it goes through the assembly line.
Marisol Alvarado- 7th period
The robotic ankle is cool because its not just an extension the robotic ankle helps the user be continuously propelled forward by the prosthesis, which uses tendon-like springs and an electric motor.
Villarreal 7th
Robot Called Talon Departs On Clearance Route Missions. The Robots Job Is To Seek Out Improvised Explosive Devices. This Robot Is Extremely Help Full For The U.S. Army.
Espino, 7th
the ankle prosthesis is cool since it makes you use less energy, when you use it you have 30% more energy spared, which could mean more time spent outdoors, perhaps more time to play SOCCER!!
corpus 7th
Robots will be intelligent machines to be incorporated into both domestic and industrial life: they will help us to clean our houses, will milk cows on farms, and will be programmed to work 24 hours per day in factories without resting, with a yield equivalent to three day shifts. This is amazing and will help so much. cant wait!!!!

Human Body Spare Parts: The Robotic Ankle
I think the robotic ankle is really neat."The person feels less fatigue while experiencing improved balance."
Seannah,8th
I read the article from Discovery and it talked about a robot replacing humans. This robot is so advanced that it has 40 air muscles and capable of 24 movements. It can even hold an apple without bruising it.. the last time I checked humans could do that too... -.-
Geetha Pokala, Period 8
I chose the article "Robotics and Artificial Intelligence".
I think its super cool that in Livorno, Italy they have developed a DustCart robot to pick up stuff that humans would rather not touch. It is a prototype of a sweeping and cleaning robot that collects domestic garbage on demand. It was designed at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa.
Maggie King, 8th
Shadow Robot company's hand robot, for example. It has 40 air muscles and is capable of 24 movements, making it the world's most advanced robot hand. This is reall advanced and useful because people could have robots help us.

Article: Human Body Parts: The Robotic Ankle
I thought it was cool that they are planning on using this technology for hurt soldiers and that the foot/ankle looks like a real foot/ankle.
Rogers Kelsey 8
I found a really cool fact. Researchers are using a new prototype robotic ankle that could eventually be used to replace lost limbs for US soldiers who suffered injuries during the Iraq War. After what they sacrificed for our coutry, I think that's the least we could do, that's why I find it cool.
Santoyo, 8th
the robot is capable of 24 movements, having 40 air muscles. it can be so gentle that it can hold a apple without bruising it. it is known as the world's most advanced robot hand.

Article:How are the components of a robot similar to those of a human being?
Like a human arm, a robotic arm uses joints that can pivot in different directions. Robotic limbs move with the expansion and contraction of pistons, which are much like our muscle

"The fact that the veteran is continuously propelled forward by the prosthesis, which uses tendon-like springs and an electric motor."
A fact ^^^
I liked it because it relates to walking on those electric floor pads at airports and how they save energy
The prototype ankle is an artifical extension that could go unnoticed because it looks similar to the human ankle which is really cool !
Coulston 8th Pd
the ankle prothesis was first tested on a soldier that had his leg blown off below his knee cap.

"According to Professor López Peláez, it is predicted that 40% of armies will be automated with robot soldiers by 2020" Could you imagine having an army of robot soldiers that will fight for you? To cool

The robot ankel thing is very cool,.. they hope to use them to replace peoples limbs that were lost in the war. that is a very good thing they are doing.

I like the Discovery site over the similarities of Humans and Robots because of the contrast it gives. "A human has a skeleton, and a robot has a body or frame." The website states that robotic limbs move with the expansion and contraction of pistons, which act much like our muscles.
