Have you ever tried to “LEGO”? “LEGO” is toy of men and women of all ages in the world. I want to talk about Lego that has been tremendously successful.…

Once implementation has been developed, it is now time to move on to executing. During this stage, logistics, warehouses and even shipping of the Lego’s will be finalized and executed to expand into untapped markets. Along with the execution, they must supervise every aspect to ensure that they are providing the products that the demographics who are want or looking…

Prior to the Flextronics offshore outsourcing project, LEGO had a very tight control of all the elements of the value chain. Their production plants were expansive and specialized which, in theory, would create a higher degree of standardization. Their Swiss factories only produced DUPLO toys and Technic products, their Danish factory solely produced LEGO System products, and the U.S. facility focused on American demands, while only 5 to 10 percent of the LEGO Group’s total production was outsourced to Chinese manufacturers.…
It is made with over six hundred Lego pieces, motors, sensors, and seven uniquely sized wires. The robot is a carbon copy of a human and is also known as a humanoid. The reason I chose to make a robot that is similar to human is the idea of self-reliance because like us, it shows a “human” that images to be independent and not rely on others. It most definitely revolves around Emerson’s idea of self-reliance, but also represents Henry David Thoreau’s idea on innovation. Emerson believed on the idea to “insist on yourself, never imitate.…
Toys like G.I. Joe, Twister and Operation can still be found on toy shelves around the world. They emanated from the 1960s. Manufacturers adscititiously engendered electronic toys, this was an astronomically immense factor when it came to children’s toys. Again, the more immensely colossal the inventions, the less time for…
Management move by Lego: After Lego realized that it had to correct its declining profits, it decided to venture into new markets and imitate the success of Disney which had created a brand value for its customers through theme parks, accessories media and video games. Lego created an amusement park called LegoLand Windsor, came up with video games, accessories and robotic toys. This did not work very well for Lego as Disney already had a brand value which it created through its own characters, while Lego was still a toy making company in the minds of people. It was an early move and the market was not ready for Lego to establish as an entertainment company. Thus profits kept on declining. Lego then focused on improving organization internally to reflect in profits, when it’s COO, Plougmann restructured the organization and tried to turn around the company. The target was to…
12. Childrens can make their own design for toys in the web site. LEGOfactory.com, where anyone can download a LEGO Digital Designer and build his own LEGO model. The LEGO Group now gives children the opportunity to build their own virtual models on the computer – and then have the bricks to the physical LEGO model sent by post[8].…
I was a small fry, pushed and shoved around trying to figure out my way around this new large building. Despite being so lost, I found myself in a large auditorium one day, filled with other underclassmen who were just as passionate about technology as I was. I found solace in the robotics club where I met people who were much more educated about computers and technology than I was. How the robots were assembled combining individual parts, movements that were created with a peculiar language and program I couldn’t comprehend- it all fascinated me. My curiosity, which initially birthed my passion for technology, strongly urged me to join this club. I submitted to that urge and as a result, I learned the mechanics behind building a robot and tested the waters of…

Childhood toys advance either social or gender constructs to propel the concept of gender identity. Lego is a perfect example of a gender-neutral toy. Lego consists of colorful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears, mini figures and various other parts. Lego began manufacturing interlocking toy bricks in 1949. Since then a global Lego subculture has developed, supporting movies, games, competitions, and six themed amusement parks. In 1978, Lego produced the first mini figures, which have since become a staple. Lego's popularity is demonstrated by its wide representation. It was usages in many forms of cultural works, including books, films and art work. Lego is a legendary toy brand for boys to play a creation that used bricks to create multiple art works. As of 2013, around 560 billion Lego parts had been produced. It connected in many ways, to construct such objects as buildings. Anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects. However, this stance has since softened. At this period of time that toy brands are everywhere to attract kids towards their product. Toys are like technologies clothes for kids. Both genders can play Lego most of the time but they created more things for little girls to play. It is trained all the kids to be smart by ready instructions or even how to think things binds together. It is known as one of the best toys for both genders of that era. In fact, Lego is a brand that was really creative that can apply for kids while they are growing, things are just get more improve and better over time. Lego had really brilliant idea about made a place call Lego Land for all ages. Lego allowed children of both genders to express themselves.…
Robotics as a branch of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback and information processing. The technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior and / or cognition. The concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but research into the functionality and potential…

Fractal Robots is an emerging new service that promises to revolutionize every aspect of human technology. Fractal robots are objects made from cubic bricks that can be controlled by a computer to change shape and reconfigure themselves into objects of different shapes. These cubic motorized bricks can be programmed to move and shuffle themselves to change shape to make objects like a house potentially in a few seconds. This technology has the potential to penetrate every field of human work like construction, medicine, research and others. Fractal robots can enable buildings to be built within a day, help perform sensitive medical operations and can assist in laboratory experiments. This technology is called Digital Matter Control and is implemented here with a machine called robotic cubes and the entire technology is called Fractal Robot Technology. Also Fractal Robots have built-in self repair which means they can continue without human intervention.…
