NEXI - Robot with facial expressions

A invention by MIT Media Lab is a new robot that is able to show various facial expressions such as 'slanting its eyebrows in anger', or 'raise them in surprise', and show a wide assortment of facial expressions while communicating with people.

This achievement in the field of Robotics is named NEXI as it is framed as the next generation robots which is aimed for a range of applications for personal robots and human-robot teamwork.


DESIGNING 

The head and face of NEXI were designed by Xitome Design which is a innovative designing and development company that specializes in robotic design and development. The expressive robotics started with a neck mechanism sporting 4 degrees of freedom (DoF) at the base, plus pan-tilt-yaw of the head itself. The mechanism has been constructed to time the movements so they mimic human speed. The face of NEXI has been specially designed to use gaze, eyebrows, eyelids and an articulate mandible which helps in expressing a wide range of different emotions.

The chassis of NEXI is also advanced. It has been developed by the Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics UMASS (University of Massachusetts), Amherst. This chassis is based on the uBot5 mobile manipulator. The mobile base can balance dynamically on two wheels. The arms of NEXI can pick up a weight of up to 10 pounds and the plastic covering of the chassis can detect any kind of human touch.

CYNTHIA BREAZEAL: HEAD OF THE PROJECT

This project was headed by Media Lab s Cynthia Breazeal, a well known robotics expert famous for earlier expressive robots such as Kismet. She is an Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT. She named her new product as an MDS (mobile, dextrous, social) robot.




FEATURES OF NEXI

Except a wide range of facial expressions, Nexi has many other features. It has self-balancing wheels like the Segway transporter, to ultimately ride on. Currently it uses an additional set of supportive wheels to operate as a statically stable platform in its early stage of development. It has hands which can be used to manipulate objects, eyes (video cameras), ears (an array of microphones), and a 3-D infrared camera and laser rangefinder which support real-time tracking of objects, people and voices as well as indoor navigation.

Top Sites For Serial Keys






Today there are many people out there who still prefer to use pirated software. It's especially common among users who live outside the U.S. When you download your program or game you might need the serial to remove the trial period. Blindly searching the web for cracks and keys is about as smart as using Limewire to search for antivirus software – something not well-advised. Undoubtedly and unfortunately, the number of crack sites with overtones of a malicious agenda heavily outweigh sites that just want to serve up the honest goods. Having said that, there actually are quite a few creditable 'crack' sites that won't try to bombard you with full-screen popup ads, or commandeer your computer into a spam-loving Kraken or Srizbi Botnet army. Here i want to present you a list of "clean" crack sites for all the latest warez to unlock your software.
Please note that the site reviews herein only include information about each site, not the contents of the 'cracks' themselves. Always use a reputable antivirus and antispyware program on cracks & keys before using them.


Here is my list of Safe and Malicious Crack/KeyGen Sites:

www.key.in

www.smartserials.com

www.keyguru.com - Popular site with hundreds of thousands of results.

www.serialkey.net

supercracks.net

www.serialcrackz.com

www.serials.be

www.cracktop.com

www.cracksfm.com

www.cracklib.net

www.crackdb.org - The site itself is safe, however; many affiliate links are on the 'do-not-visit' list. When searching, skip past the first results (with the prices).

5 Heart Breaking Moments in Indian Cricket History

Indian Cricket
team is not a
dream-team and comprises human beings who
can never achieve perfection. India has gone through its fair
share of heartbreaks in the
various matches that the team
has played over the years. We
take a look at 5 such moments
which proved to be heartbreaking for the Indian
cricket team as well as the
fanatic followers of the game....

.
.
.
.
1..Javed Miandad's six
against India: Sharjah Cup 1986
.

.
Perhaps the most famous six
of all time, was the one hit by
Javed Miandad off Chetan
Sharma in the last ball of the
final over at the Sharjah Cup
in 1986. In this India-Pakistan match, Miandad's six led the Pakistani
team to a thrilling victory.
Prior to Sharjah, Pakistan had
lost six of their nine ODI
matches against India. Miandad's thundering six
probably had a crushing effect
on the Indian bowlers which
is why India lost the next
eight out of nine matches to
Pakistan...

.
2..India vs Australia: World cup 1987
.

.
The first match of the 1987
World Cup was totally
heartbreaking for the
followers of the Indian team.
Riding on their '83 World Cup
win, India came across as a confident team. Australia posted a score of 270
for India to chase. Following
an aggressive 70 and 73 by
Srikkanth and Sidhu, India
looked set for a win at 207-3. Suddenly India's batting order
collapsed like a house of cards
and India was reduced to
256-8. The last over saw India
needing just 2 runs to win
with 1 wicket in hand. Maninder was bowled and
India lost the match by 1 run...

.
3..India Vs Sri Lanka: World
Cup Semi-final 1996
.

.
After putting up a score of
251, Sri Lanka sought to
defend it under the captaincy
of Sanath Jayasuriya. Sachin, like usual, led the
Indian team's attack before he
was stumped at 65 from 88
balls. After his dismissal, India
dramatically slumped to 120-8
owing to the brilliance of Jayasuriya. It was then that the match
turned controversial after the crowd vented their
frustration by burning paper
and throwing bottles and
stones at the fielders. The
match was called of by the
match referee and was awarded to Sri Lanka by
default....

.
4..India vs England: 1987
World Cup
.

.
Kapil Dev won the toss and
decided to let England bat.
However, he became clueless
when Graham Gooch
repeatedly smacked the
spinners towards the boundary. England posted a
competitive score of 254. Sunil Gavaskar fell cheaply
and a similar tale of collapse
followed. Kapil Dev got out to
what people still remember as
a reckless shot after scoring a
brisk 30 leaving India at 204-6. The last 4 wickets were
wrapped up for just 19 runs
which left the nation stunned. India's dream of lifting a
consecutive World Cup were
crushed and so were a million hopes....

.
5..India vs Pakistan: Chennai Test 1999
.

.
This was one of the most
heart-breaking moments for Sachin Tendulkar fans i.e cricket fans in general. Sachin played brilliantly on a
pitch that was not meant to
favour the batsmen.Sachin
was determined to steady the
rocky Indian ship and steer
them to victory against the Pakistani team. He put up a brave score of 136
before falling prey to Saqlain
Mushtaq. Moin Khan stated, in
a press conference, that he had
never seen shots like that in
his career before. India needed just 17 runs to
win in 95 overs with 3
wickets remaining. India,
however, lost 3 wickets for 4
runs in 4 overs and India lost
the match by a 12 run victory. Sachin, who was adjudged the
Man of the Match, was so
upset that he never turned up
to collect the award...
