LOVELACE
 Ada Lovelace was a British mathematician and writer,
often considered the world's first computer programmer.
 She was born on December 10, 1815, in London, England.
 Ada showed a keen interest in mathematics and science
from an early age, encouraged by her mother.
 She met Charles Babbage in 1833 and began working with
him on the Analytical Engine.
 She is known for her work on Charles Babbage's Analytical
Engine, a proposed mechanical general-purpose
computer.
 In 1843 she wrote in her notes for a translation of a french
article about the analytical engine how the machine could
be used to follow a program to calculate bernoulli
numbers. For this, she has been called the first computer
programmer.
 INTRODUCTION
• Romeo is a humanoid robot developed by Aldebaran
Robotics, a French company acquired by SoftBank
Robotics in 2015.
• Romeo is designed to assist and interact with humans,
particularly the elderly and people with disabilities.
• Assisting with daily activities (e.g., cooking, cleaning).
• Providing companionship and social interaction.
• Assisting with mobility and balance.
• Rechargeable battery.
• Proprietary software based on Linux.
• Various sensors and cameras for interaction and
navigation.
 DESIGN AND
Key Design Elements: DEVELOPMENT
• Humanoid shape: Romeo has a humanoid shape, with a
torso, arms, legs, and a head.
• Lightweight materials: Romeo's body is made of
lightweight materials, such as aluminum and carbon
fiber.
Romeo's development relied on several key technologies,
including:-
• Advanced robotics and mechatronics: Romeo's design
incorporates advanced robotic components, such as
actuators, sensors, and control systems.
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning: Romeo
uses AI and machine learning algorithms to enable
human-like interaction, decision-making, and adaptation.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The robot's dimensions are:
-Height: 1.4 meters (4.6 feet).
-Weight: approximately 40 kg (88 lbs).
The robot's structure is composed of:
-Aluminum alloy frame.
-Steel and plastic components.
 Actuators: Electric motors (DC motors and servo
motors).
 Degrees of freedom: 37 (including hands, arms, legs,
and torso).
 Control system: Advanced robotics and artificial
intelligence (AI) algorithms, using a combination of
feedback control and model predictive control.
 CAPABILITIES
• Interaction: Equipped with speech and gesture
recognition, Romeo can understand and respond to natural
speech and gestures, making communication intuitive and
user-friendly.
• Object Manipulation: With its four-fingered hand, Romeo
can grasp and manipulate objects, allowing it to perform
tasks such as picking up items, lifting a cup, and retrieving
food from the kitchen.
• Assistance: Romeo is designed to assist with daily activities
such as closing trashcans, retrieving objects from shelves,
and performing simple household tasks.
• Companionship: Beyond practical assistance, Romeo offers
companionship, providing emotional support and social
interaction for its users.
 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Romeo humanoid robot primarily uses two programming languages:
• C++:
1.Performance: High efficiency and real-time performance, essential for robotic control and
processing.
2.Low-level Hardware Control: Provides precise manipulation of robotic components.
3.Memory Management: Fine control over memory usage, important for embedded systems.
• Python:
1.Ease of Use: Simple and readable syntax, facilitating rapid development and prototyping.
2.Rich Ecosystem: Libraries like NumPy, SciPy, and TensorFlow for machine learning and data
analysis.
3.Integration: Easily integrates with C++ code, allowing a combination of both languages'
strengths.
 SOFTWARE
1.Operating System: Romeo runs on a Linux-
based operating system, providing a stable
and flexible environment for its software
applications.
2.Middleware: The Robot Operating System
(ROS) is used as middleware, facilitating
communication between different
software components and hardware.
3.Speech Recognition: Uses advanced
speech recognition software to understand
and respond to natural language
commands.
4.Gesture Recognition: Equipped with
software for gesture recognition, allowing
it to interpret and respond to human
gestures.
