Hubot the Robot 3D Model!!!

As always for my Obscure Vintage Tech YouTube series I create some sort of model to make up for the fact that these things never have lots of footage or high-res pictures-

-so here's Hubot! This one was SO complicated to make, the shape of the body and all the details for the A/V units were insane. This is gonna make the video way more fun though!

Mecanum Rover (2013) by Vstone, Osaka. The Mecanum Rover uses mecanum wheels to generate movement forward, backward, turning, and tracking sideways, depending on the speed and rotation direction of each wheel. With rollers oriented 45° to the wheel axle and wheel plane, each wheel produces a force perpendicular to the roller axle. By spinning different sets of wheels in opposite directions, the combined force vectors allow vehicle motion in almost any direction and rotation.

The Neurogeometry of Perception: A Journey into Geometric Cognition

In the realm of cognitive science and neurology, there exists a fascinating intersection where geometry meets perception, aptly termed “neurogeometry”. This interdisciplinary field seeks to understand how our brains process and interpret the visual world through geometric structures and patterns. Alessandro Sarti and Giovanna Citti, prominent figures in this domain, have extensively explored the fundamental principles of neurogeometry, uncovering the intricate relationship between the architecture of our brains and the geometric forms we perceive.

“Neurogeometry” is not merely a fusion of “neuroscience” and “geometry”. It’s an ambitious endeavor to model the functional architecture of the primary visual cortex and understand how geometric patterns underpin our visual processing. As described by Sarti and Citti,

“We remind some basic principles of the neurogeometrical approach as it has been proposed by various researchers to model the functional architecture of the primary visual cortex.”

This statement underscores the comprehensive nature of the approach and its foundational importance in cognitive science. The very essence of neurogeometry lies in its quest to unravel the architectural blueprint of our perceptual processes. Our brains, complex and intricate, are not just passive receivers of visual stimuli. Instead, they actively construct a coherent understanding of the world through geometric frameworks. Every curve we perceive, every angle we discern, and every spatial relationship we recognize is a testament to the brain’s inherent ability to process the world geometrically. Neurogeometry, therefore, serves as a bridge, connecting the abstract realm of geometric shapes and patterns to the tangible reality of neural processes.
