Attendees
Can Meet Lifelike Android Twin, Assemble Products
with ''Motoman,'' and Wash Dishes with a Robot at
the 2007 International Robots & Vision Show
May 18, 2007 --
Rosemont, IL -- Wash dishes. Assemble products.
Do a thorough inspection. These are just a few of
the interactive experiences that await visitors at
the 2007 International Robots & Vision Show.
Attendees also will meet Xi'an Superman's
stunningly-lifelike, internationally-acclaimed twin
android ''Zou Ren Ti'' which will be unveiled at the
International Robots & Vision Show for its first
time outside of China.
The show will
highlight the ways in which robotics, machine vision
and motion control technologies have reached a stage
of such technical sophistication that they are not
only changing the world of industry, but also making
their way into the everyday tasks of the average
person's life. Visitors will enjoy first-hand,
interactive experiences from four-minute
demonstrations like Sony's ''Learn How to Do
Dishes'' demo, where participants will guide a robot
through three easy steps:
1. Place dishes in kitchen sink.
2. Clear the robot and activate two palm
buttons for safety.
3. Watch SONY Smart Cameras with embedded
Windows XP and SHAFI RELIABOT software guide the
DENSO robot to automatically unload a heap of plates
from the kitchen sink into the dishwasher.
Debuting in his first
show outside of China is ''Zou Ren Ti,'' the most
human-like robot at the expo. With body and face
covered with a skin-like material, the life-sized
robot looks exactly like the identical twin of its
creator, Zou Ren Ti, founder of Xi'an Superman
Sculpture Research Council, and is able to nod,
blink, talk, and gesture. This and other exciting
developments are part of the Emerging Robotics
Pavilion at the show.
Several interactive
displays are planned along the show's ''Hands-On
Highway,'' a group of exhibitors showcasing
self-guided demonstrations at their booths. An
example is Motoman Inc.'s ''Motoman'' robot, which
will entertain by assembling products and doing
other tasks using unique ''human-like'' capabilities
such as dual-arm dexterity and an advanced
integrated vision system.
The International
Robots and Vision Show and Conference is sponsored
by three trade groups: the Robotic Industries
Association, the Automated Imaging Association, and
the Motion Control Association. The event will be
held June 12-14 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention
Center in Rosemont (Chicago) Illinois. Show tickets
are free in advance or $75 at the door. Full details
