aiko questions ...

whats her skin made out of
how long did it take to make her
And are you ever going to start mass produsing her ? and if so how much

I don't think he's gotten to v2's body yet, so she has no new skin.
If I'm not mistaken, the project started in the summer of 2007, and showcased in the fall of 2007.
It was a rush job that had a premade silicone body (sex doll), but the BRAINS software was already made anyway.

ahh...i see thanks for the helpful reply

i have question too
can aiko write i hope so

Aiko can't write yet. Her fingers are made of cardboard (because of cost) and aren't strong enough to hold the pen to write.

Trung plans to redesign the hand and and make a plasic prototype. If the new hand works good he plans to make the hand out of metal.

hope it work ,and thanks for reply

ok,i have got some information about a fully functional robotic hand
here is the website

anyone saw it

If you would find something simpler, this one is too complicated and not really suited for DIY. Something where you just connect mini servos with fingers through wires would be great.

ok he can make one of those cheap robotic hands like this one in this website

but use servos in it

and if it work nice he can replace the plastic tubes with metal

Yes, that's great. That's the principle I imagined, it's very simple but quite effective. Now just add a wire to control the thumb in a 2nd axis.

but the big problem in using servos that they are not strong enough to carry heavy objects

i think air muscles is better + im big fan for them
but the big problem of using them that they are pretty big

Trung has aready made some good hands out of metal. Cost only $1,800.00

i see , but i want to know how much can this hand carry

That metal can carry a chair, in case you are wondering.
It's about my size. a bit big for aiko hand.

wow amazing ,a chair that is amazing so the hand is powerful then the size doesn't matter
keep it forward ,you are a genus no matter how many problem you face u must find a solution,
oh and how is your study going, sure u will get A marks

fingers might be the right size, but typing would require a bit of precision. she should be able to manage two finger pecking, but proper typing form is a ways in the future methinks.
and why have a robot type? they use computer brains, why not just ave them connect to the computer? surely a simple program could be written to allow one computer to connet to another and type documents...but, then again, you could just dictate to the robot, or it could create a document on its own, then just send it to a printer-the second computer seems to add another step in a simplifiable process.
if we have robots, as say, office assistants, wouldn't it be more logical for them to also BE the computer, not type on one?

i see
so its hard
