February 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- You can discover the future trend of consumer and industrial robotics researches on the online exhibition EXPO21XX. Leading research facilities worldwide like the universities of Essex, Michigan, Cornell, ANU, Harvard, MIT and many others from Germany and Asia display their researches in the online hall Universities & Research (http://www.expo21xx.com/research). Their inventiveness and ingenuity resulted in amazing projects like self-modeling robots, flying robot swarms, house cleaning robots, cooking robots, and autonomous self driving cars.

One aspect of the robotics researches worth mentioning are bio-robots designed to imitate the natural movement of biological organisms. For example, the University of Essex exhibits a Robotic Fish (http://www.expo21xx.com/automation21xx/14927_st3_university), which can be hardly differentiated from a real fish. This fish is a new generation of autonomous robots, which perceives and adjusts to underwater environment, such as changing lanes of maneuver and thus behaving naturally within its assigned perimeters. Its design as well as movement patterns are surprisingly real-time like. The idea is not only to simulate nature, but also gain an insight in the mechanics and maneuverability, of biological organisms, noise emission, acceleration, and efficiency over conventional actuators.

Also the snake-robot OmniTread (http://www.expo21xx.com/automation21xx/14901_st3_university) by Mobile Robot Lab of the University of Michigan is inspired by nature. The mobile serpentine robots can transverse extremely difficult terrains, tight vents, and easily climb objects four times its size. When operational, OmniTread can be deployed not only in military and security sectors, but also in recovery of earthquake and fire victims.

A similar innovative and equally exceptional project is the Open Source Modular Robot (http://www.expo21xx.com/automation21xx/15287_st3_university) at Cornell University, which can metamorphose out of a single module into arbitrary and multiple robots. This Open Source Project allows anyone interested in robotics access to get information and to contribute to the project. Though this project is still in its developmental stages, it offers some flexibility, robustness, efficiency and big advantages for the implementation of unfolding solutions.
