Sorena

Humanoid named after the Great Parthian warrior

Engineering students at Tehran University have designed a humanoid robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. Sorena is named after the Great Parthian warrior who defeated the Romans at the Battle of Carrhae in the Iranian province of Maadaa (Medea/Media).

Robart

by robart (not verified) on

At least this robot can go many meters alone, slowly but can do it, it has nothing to hide, just honest movie no tricky... if you watch Robonaut the american robot for space they have invested 200 million dollars in something that cant even walk, and the same with the robot Dexter it simple can not walk properly, this is the real reason of the jealousy = corruption in the USA. Which has generated 13 trillions dollars dept and more than 700 billion dollars for the military expenditures per year, to fuck the world and more than 3000 nuclear weapons ready to be launch. For all those imbeciles who has posted messages with jealousy instead of congratulate a technology who is going to resolve the chaos and save the world of all the misery they have generated selling its fucking weapons. The Pentagon alone receive 80 or 100 billions dollars per year, to have some imbeciles who cant even build a washing machine for its dirty pants with shit...

Important Religious Rules

by Anonymous Observer on

Since, according to Grand Ayatollah Abdullah ibn Artoodeetoo, proper Islamic conduct applies to artificial life forms in the same manner as it applies to natural life, the IRI should now teach the robot some Islamic codes of conduct, including, but not limited to, the following:

1) how far he has to stick its finger up its ass to accomplish "Taharat".  since it's a computer and good as precise measurements, I am sure that it will excell at this task;

2) how to do "vozoo" (may cause electric short);

3) how to do namaz;

4) how to, of course, "sigheh" another robot;

5) how to do jihad;

They should also deprive it of electrical charge from dawn to dusk during Ramadan.

50s technology

by jamshid on

Nothing to be proud about here. These type of robots were built in the 50s too. The IRI wants to habituate Iranians to the absolute minimum and make them feel proud of it too.

A worthless 50s robot here, a 60s rocket there. And all these while Iran's best minds have left and are still leaving the country in hopes of finding better lives elsewhere.

By 2009, Iranians could have accomplished and achieved FAR FAR FAR more than this petty toys and feshfeshehs that the IRI is so pathetically showing off.

And the IRI, with its "gedaa parvar" philosophy and culture, works hard to take the focus away from what Iranians' true and high potentials are, and teach them instead to be happy with their absolute minimum potential.

IRI's motto: Have a marja'e taghlid, be a gedaa, forget your true potential, and be happy with little toys.

"Ali Sefati"

by Anonymous111 (not verified) on

I guess you're not intelligent enough to understand the point of my post...but here, I'll spoon feed it and change the caliber of the writing to fit your mental processing capabilities.

Artificial intelligence ("AI") is Asimo, where the robot can make independent decisions by observing its environment, and it can also make movements and comply with requests in an independent manner. That is the whole point about Asimo: it's independent decision making capabilities.

The "robot" that the IRI has built, on the other hand, is no different than the robot on eBay. If you care enough to watch the video, you will see that unlike Asimo, that robot is being operated via remote control (just like the one on eBay). So, there is no "AI" present here. It's just a toy that is being operated by remote control. The robot is incapable of making any independent movements and decisions. That was the reason for my comparison with the toy on eBay....capiche?

Why so much negative reaction here!

by Homayun on

WHy are there so many negative reactions here?? Yes, Japan or China may be able to make much more advanced Robots, but nothing stops us in persuing our own. I for one, am proud of any thing made by Iranian hands.

Do you think that Japan, Germany and all other developed countries got where thye are today just at a snap of the finger? No. So why should we.

I actually think that given the current IRan's status quo, its cociety limitations, its wellknown problems, it takes a lot of courage, commitment and a lot of heart to do any type of R&D work.. 

I am proud of their achievements.

My Moto: Be Positive, Optimistic and don't fall in routines

This is Joke!!!

by Salar (not verified) on

If IRI nuclear technology is anything like this nonsense (as I know it is if not worse)then we are all f… big time. What is this embarrassment to advanced technology? just another IRI PR stunt for internal consumption. Islamic robot, like the rest of their nonsense inventions, Islamic human rights, Islamic democracy etc, etc. I can build this in my garage in less than a week. Want to see a real AI and robotics, forget asimo, say hello to Big Dog

obviously you have no knowledge of Robotics or AI or else you would not make fool out of yourself to show us a pre-programmed robot being sold for $47.99 on ebay!

Losers and desperate whiners

by Toofantheoncesogreat (not verified) on

Using the Asimov to beat down on this?? Are you out of your mind??? The Japanese have had 50 years into this business, Iran 10, and the prof says that this is just the beginning, how about just writing congratz??

And IRIRobot, go buy one of these robots you talk about in Walmart, film it, and post it on iranian.com, please, before doing that , STFU, you have no idea of the capabilities and what not this machine has.

Iran is currently a multi Robocup competetion winner, with being the holder of several medals.

Where is the turban?

This robot is not Islamic at all. These guys should not be allowed to create robot without a turban. :)
