March 11, 2010
Cloned handsets these days seem to get better and better, and the HTC Diamond2 clone that you see here certainly wins brownie points with us simply considering it is able to dual boot both the Android and Windows Mobile 6.5 operating systems. Granted, the 600MHz processor might not seem to pack abundant muscle, but it still comes with a WQVGA display that ought to please some quarters. No concept on whether that cloned handset is able to construct phone calls on both operating systems, so we will just have to wait until the real deal comes out before arriving at a conclusion.

Robots, will there be no end to them? Next up is Kojiro, a humanoid robot that’s being built by the folks by at the University of Tokyo. What makes Kojiro different from the other robots is that it has a detailed musculoskeletal system built into it to imitate the human body, sporting artificial bones, muscles and tendons to conclusion in a robot that can move in a more organic fashion. Considering that it has about 100 tendon-muscle structures, giving it 60 degrees of freedom, it should be a whole lot more flexible than the other robots. Of course, all the flexibility comes with a price, mainly for the programmers, as Kojiro is not an easy robot to program, but that’s what the programmers are paid for, right? Currently the designers are busy coming up with an iterative learning process, which will get the small motions down pat, so that the robot can manage more complex motions. Tech details aside, does anyone else think that Kojiro looks like a distant cousin to C3PO and Megaman?
