Domo
Engineers at MIT Humanoid Robotics Group have developed a robot called Domo that can adapt to situations to assist people with everyday chores, everyday life, everyday work. Cameras inside Domo’s eyes enable him to see and adapt to his surroundings. Twenty-nine motors equipped with computer chips run off a dozen computers continuously updating information.
Presently, Domo can identify objects, reach for them and place them on shelves. Unlike an assembly-line robot, Domo can sense its surroundings using a pair of video cameras for eyes; they are connected to 12 computers. The cameras are built into remarkably human-looking “eyeballs,” for a reason, said Domo’s developer, Aaron Edsinger.
The name “Domo” was inspired by the Japanese phrase, domo arigato [thank you very much], Edsinger told LiveScience, and also by the Styx song, “Mr. Roboto.” Also, the two strong syllables are easy for the speech recognition system to understand.
