American Android technology is the result of years of research in robotics and artificial intelligence.

Humanoid robots are now the focus, and our existing patented and proprietary technologies address three key capabilities: enabling robots to move, think, and learn.

Move

In order to approximate the motions of a human, a humanoid robot must have a skeleton with many joints, or degrees of freedom. Unfortunately, the more joints a robot has the harder it is to control.

Given a desired task such as taking a step or grasping an object, the robot control system must compute an evolution of joint angles that achieves the desired result. A large number of joints makes this mathematical inverse kinematics process more difficult.

American Android's patented limb coordination technology helps solve this problem. Desired joint angles for high degree-of-freedom robots, taking into account both posture and balance, can be computed in real time on conventional computer hardware.

Think

Robots need direction. As with humans, they need to be given instructions in order to accomplish tasks. We have spent a lot of time creating effective task description languages, and our latest behavior operating system and rule-based control components are the best yet.

Learn

Some robots can learn on the job. Our robots can acquire new rule-based task descriptions by talking with a human operator and can fine-tune task performance using our proprietary neural network technology.
