year ago‚ Amazon.com workers had to hike miles of aisles each shift to "pick" each item a customer ordered and prepare it for shipping. Now the e-commerce has boosted efficiency and given workers’ legs a break by deploying more than 15‚000 wheeled robots to crisscross the floors of its biggest warehouses and deliver stacks of toys‚ books and other products to employees. Amazon.com Inc. faced its single biggest day of online shopping on Monday‚ has invested heavily this year in upgrading and expanding

Isaac Asimov’s The Robots of Dawn is an enjoyable read‚ showing many aspects of Asimov’s style and themes. It follows the format of a standard detective novel‚ but with many of Asimov’s characteristic science fiction elements such as interstellar travel‚ flying cars‚ and robots. Two major elements of Asimov’s style are very noticeable in this book: simplicity and dialogue. Despite the technology introduced and the length of the story‚ it was never confusing‚ nor would a reader ever be lost. Asimov’s

fiction movies have depicted robots as very sophisticated machines built by humans to perform complex operations‚ to work with humans in safe critical missions‚ in hostile environments‚ or more often to pilot and control spaceships in galactic travels. At the same time‚ however‚ intelligent robots have also been depicted as dangerous machines‚ capable of working against man through wicked plans. In the Terminator the view of the future is even more catastrophic: robots will become intelligent and

The study of robot kinematics‚ require a unified methodology to identify the variables of a robot’s or manipulator’s joints and links. Co-ordinate Frames Robotic kinematics depends on the use of right handed cartesian frames of reference. Manipulator Geometry A manipulator consists of two types of joints‚ connected by a link. Link A link is a solid mechanical structure which connects two joints. The main purpose of a link is to maintain a fixed relationship between the joints at

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

SYNOPSIS OF STAIR CLIMBING ROBOT Abstract: The goal of our project was to design a robot that would climb starirs in a skillfull‚ calculated and efficient manner. Climbing a set of stairs is not a new challenge for robots‚ in fact it is often a common obstacle used by designers to showcase the robot’s skills. Their function as modeled after human movement. The smaller scaled robots‚ such as mine‚ usually use the bruete force method and are not able to successfully climb stairs. In the present

Advancement of Robot Technology Imagine our world today‚ full of advanced interactive robots (AIR) and geminoids. Robot pets running around the house‚ playing with you children or your siblings. Robot humans taking over our jobs‚ becoming our country’s next sports stars‚ and possibly even becoming our nation’s President. How would these robots fit into our society? What if the their systems were to malfunction and the robot[s] were to commit a crime? Is there really a need for pet and human robots? The advancement
