Multi Purpose AI Robot Justin - Behold The Future
- 6 years ago
Behold The Future...On August 25th 2017, ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli became the first human to collaborate with an intelligent service robot from space. During the METERON SUPVIS Justin Experiment, DLR humanoid robot Rollin’ Justin was instructed to service a simulated Martian solar farm on Earth. A tablet computer on board the International Space Station let the crew supervise the robot with abstract commands. Rollin’ Justin is capable of a wide variety of tasks, like to connect a data interface probe to the solar panels, inspect the system status, or perform updates. The intuitive user interface inspired Nespoli to train two more NASA Astronauts in flight. Jack Fisher was able to get up to speed with the system in a few minutes. With our scheduled crew time running out, Randy Bresnik still successfully performed an additional maintenance task. This two hour ISS crew session gave us our first insights into how astronauts can collaborate with remote robots as co-workers. The data we collected will serve as the baseline of our continuing endeavor to create better robot assistants for future space exploration.

German researchers hope that their coffee-making, ball catching robot named Justin, will become man's new best friend. Justin is being developed for use in space or in the home. But who would want to scratch their pet robot behind the ears?
He may not be able to walk or talk - but he can catch a ball, make a cup of coffee and dance.
His name is Justin, and he's a life-sized robot .
German scientists hope robots like Justin one day become an indispensable addition to the home.
Justin has a head, two arms and fingers and moves on rollers.
It has two cameras for eyes and is being developed by a group of researchers and scientists at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in the southern town of Oberpfaffenhofen.
Sensors are built in across the robot's body which, along with his "eyes" and an ability to sense his surroundings in three dimensions, allow him carry out commands, such as catching a ball.
[Bertold Baeumi, Justin Project Scientist]:
"What is special about Justin compared to most other humanoids is that he has all over his body sensors which makes it possible for him to feel, touch and give feedback to contact with the environment, for example the fingers can have contact with the objects and this allows Justin to do fine manipulation tasks."
Justin's arms are lightweight and are able to move smoothly via ball joints at the shoulders, elbows and wrists. Similar technology is being used aboard the International Space Station.
Baeuml and his team think that a self-thinking humanoid like Justin could allow for humans and robots to work much more closely together, especially in the home.

"So the rolling Justin is especially suited for its service robotics so
