Devol created the first programmable and digital robot. At first‚ it was an accident. Since then‚ robotics has gone through a massive change in design and technology. More than a million industrial robots are now in use‚ nearly half are in use in Japan. During the 20th century‚ robots were simple and used to aid people. In today’s society‚ we use robots to help us with many tasks‚ cleaning‚ cooking‚ military missions and many other things. Now‚ robots are much more complex than when they were first

MILITARY ROBOTS "Robots that can decide where to kill‚ who to kill and when to kill is high on all the military agendas" General 1. Mil robots are autonomous or remote-controlled devices designed for military applications. There are 43 countries working on mil robotics today‚ from Britain and Japan to China‚ India‚ Russia‚ Pakistan‚ and Iran. 2. The futuristic battlefield is going to depend substantially on deployment of standoff weapons and virtual

Technology replaces Nature Gregory Stock discusses the controversial issue of germinal choice technology (GCT) in his essay‚ "The Enhanced and the Unenhanced." Michael Pollan alludes to a potato called the New Leaf Superior that produces its own insecticide in "Playing God in the Garden." While Pollan ’s essay deals with the role of biotechnology to enhance agricultural products‚ Stock ’s essay points to the ways in which technology has helped humans in their development and claims that the genetic

A robot can be defined as a programable‚ self controlled device consisting of electronic‚ electrical‚ or mechanical units. The notion of robots or robot-like automates can be traced back to medieval times. Although people of that era didn’t have a term to describe what we would eventually call a robot‚ they were nevertheless imagining mechanisms that could perform human like tasks. As early as 270 BC an ancient engineer named Ctesibus made organs and water clocks with moveable figures. In medieval

competition‚ so in order for robotics in healthcare to succeed it must make sense financially. Robot-assisted surgery is sometimes considered to be the most expensive form of surgery due to the cost of the robotic system‚ but that is not true when the indirect costs of robot-assisted surgery are also considered. Landeen et al. studied the cost effectiveness of the four methods of hysterectomy‚ and they concluded robot-assisted hysterectomy was the least expensive approach when the cost of the robotic system

Wireless Controller Robotic Arm using Arduino Uno Abstract—This paper presents an innovative wireless robot arm gripper that replicates human arm motion. The development of this robot is based on the Arduino Uno that will interface with the wireless PS2 controller to the robotic part that replicated by the servo motors. The servo will moves the robotic arm‚ base and the gripper through 180° from the default position which is 90°. The S06NF STD servo motor has been placed at the arm part. It

Should we replace our textbooks with laptop computers? The initial reaction to this question by many people is‚ “What a ridiculous question!” However‚ there are many key issues to consider‚ like cost‚ ease of use (is the computer screen too hard on our eyes for extensive reading?)‚ maintenance and repair (if students carry them from class to class‚ will they break?)‚ but most importantly‚ student learning (what is the best way to help students learn?). In order to come to a conclusion on the

Specially P1(x‚y)=x and P2(x‚y)=y The composition operation There are two operations that make new functions from old: composition and primitive recursion Composition replaces the arguments of a function by another. For example‚ one can define a function f by F(x‚y)=g(h1(x‚y)‚ h2(x‚y)) Where one supplies the functions g1‚ g2 and h. Primitive recursion A typical use of primitive recursion has the following form Where one supplies the function

ROBOTS IN PLASTIC SURGERY When deciding to have a plastic surgery‚ do you totally believe that the surgeon’s hands can bring you the perfect result without mistakes? If you are still confused about saying “yes” or “no”‚ why don’t you think about a robotic surgery? Robotics is a modern technology and today most of the things are being automated with the help of robots. Robotic equipments that are available for the medical industry to use are great and they actually benefit surgical procedures. Therefore
