FutureBots Humanoid Lab - F.B.H.L. ATOM-1.0 Humanoid Robot Vision. It is important in today’s modern age of technology to have pioneers push forward to reach greater achievements. The pioneer must have a vision, determination and not be easily discouraged by lack of project funding or criticism. Without great thinkers whose vision was before their time, where would our current technology stand.

Facing great challenges of pioneering new technologies can be a very painstaking process, not to mention the criticism that is usually part of what the imaginative pioneer must face from peers. One such pioneer is Dan Mathias, a Roboticist whose background entails Engineering degree in the disciplines of Industrial Electronics, Robotics and Control systems and 35+ years of building robots.
The ATOM 1.0 humanoid project is advancing robotics to support the needs in many fields and will solve many dangerous jobs humans need not do any more.
1: Mankind in space on mars or moon exploration missions, 2: Healthcare and care-taking, 3: Commercial and Industrial manufacturing, 4: Hazardous rescue activities, 5: Chemical and biological disposal applications, 6: Home and national Security, 7: Virus Pandemics the most important job for a robot, help save lives.
With the introduction of the ATOM humanoid robot and with this new advanced technology we can create Hi-Tech jobs for the USA that can't be exported, robots and men working hand in hand to make a better world.
ATOM, which stands for "Advanced Technology for Optimizing Motion," was, build by Dan Mathias a Robotics Scientist an electrical/mechanical/software engineer.
ATOM 1.0 has Windows 7e and Windows XPe and has over 50 degrees of freedom, hand made of aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber all hand build in the USA in the FutureBots humanoid Labs. Has many high-powered Intel and Atmel processor units running the worlds most advanced operating systems as Win 7e and Arduino. Also has advanced stereo vision system, Microsoft Kinect sensor and advanced walking system that imitates humans incorporating over 30 sensors all over ATOM's body unit.

The ATOM 1.0 is from the FutureBots Humanoid Lab or FutureBots it's a very complex multi year humanoid project from a small under funded lab, I hope in the future to build ATOM 2.0

From FutureBots Humanoid Lab FBHL is the first and only Full-Sized Humanoid Robot in the United States, and is the first self contained Humanoid robot made in the USA by Dan Mathias a Robotics Scientist, a multi year project, self funded. The ATOM 1.0 humanoid robot is powered by Intel ATOM and i5 4 core embedded processors and Microsoft 7e, Linux Unbunto embedded and NVIDIA Jetson.

Please help if you can with your money donations below at the bottom of page. PLEASE help me finish this very hard to build humanoid robot project, become a silent person or tech donation partner in this great humanoid project. PLEASE help me bring technology to the USA and the world.

Please, I need your Help, become a silent or not silent tech Partner, VC or Angel

I'm a small business owner with a big dream, a robot engineer of one.
I have NO big companies behind me to help yet.

Donate what you can 100 dollars or a 5 million dollars, it's up to you, we need your help with the project and future projects.

We need a monetary donation of 5 million dollars for a lab building, equipment, hiring enginners.

Need a lab location donated on the East Coast Florida with property Taxes paid for 5 years
or a monetary donation of 5 million for a lab.

I need Dodge Sprinter Van will do to transport the robot.

Please help me and ATOM if you can by donating money to help finish building ATOM humanoid robot and pay my lab over head for further robot research funding, any amount from a dollar to what ever. These are tough financial times for building such advanced robot systems, and any amount small or large will help. When you're working on this tough project with just 1 person and my cat in a lab, I wish I had 30 engineers and millions of dollars, will maybe 10 smart engineers and 10 million dollars to build even more advanced Humanoid robots for the USA.

Just remember Microsoft, Intel, HP, Solitron, and Apple to name a few started out with just a one or two people with a dream to better the USA and the world.
Thanks so much!
