The American processor manufacturing company Intel announced that he has created a robot, Jimmy, assembled by parts, most of which have been printed in a three-dimensional printer. Once complete, the robot begins to talk and walk.
The white Jimmy, which is about 75 centimeters tall, will be available to consumers by the end of the year, at a cost of about 1.600 euros, according to Reuters. THE price of the assembly "kit" for the robot is expected to drop below $1.000 in a few years. The "kit" will also include some mechanical parts of the robot that are not printed, as well as the also non-printable Processor Edison by Intel.
The robot can be programmed to sing, speak different languages, send messages on Twitter, serve drinks and much more. Robot owners like Jimmy will be able to program them at will to do unique things, while they will be able to share these programs with other users, in the form of applications that can be "downloaded" via the Internet.
Intel is trying to win the lost ground in new technologies (tablets, smart cell phones) and, among other things, aims to create "smart" clothes, as well as the manufacture of assembled and autonomous flying robots (drones), which will be addressed to hobbyists, who are crazy about making various electronic "gadgets" themselves.
