The American company constructionof processors 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, about 75cm high, will be available to consumers by the end of the year at a cost of around 1.600 euros, according to Reuters. The price of the robot assembly kit is expected to drop to $ 1.000 in a few years. The "kit" will include some non-printable mechanical parts of the romopot, as well as Intel's also non-printable Edison processor.
The robot can be properly programmed to sing, speak different languages, send messages messages στο Twitter, να σερβίρει ποτά και πολλά άλλα. Οι ιδιοκτήτες ρομπότ όπως ο Jimmy θα μπορούν να τα προγραμματίζουν κατά βούληση για να κάνουν μοναδικά πράγματα, ενώ θα μπορούν να μοιράζονται με άλλους χρήστες τα προγράμματα αυτά, με την μορφή εφαρμογών που θα μπορούν να «κατεβαίνουν» μέσω διαδικτύου.
Intel is trying to gain lost ground in new technologies (tablets, smart phones) and, among other things, aims to creation «έξυπνων» ρούχων, καθώς και στην κατασκευή συναρμολογούμενων και αυτόνομων ιπτάμενων ρομπότ (drones), which will be addressed to hobbyists, who go crazy making their own various electronic "gadgets".
