I can’t help but wonder what this country would be like if we didn’t have great leaders such as Benjamin Franklin‚ Patrick Henry‚ and Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence would have never been written and we would probably still be under the thumb of the British Empire. Our lives would not be the same. We would not have the right to freedom‚ liberty or justice. All decisions would probably be made for each of us. Benjamin Franklin would not have shown us the way to a better life‚ there

The US Army‚ Navy‚ Air Force‚ and Marines have deployed approximately 6‚000 robots (Mokhoff). As one can see‚ robotic technology in the military is playing an ever-increasing role. More importantly‚ they are taking humans out of danger by going into dangerous situations that would be considered suicide missions to humans. Robots are particularly used for roles dealing with what people in the field call the “Three D’s”-tasks that are dull‚ dirty‚ or dangerous. Many military missions can be incredibly

The da Vinci robotic system has proven to provide positive short term post surgery results. Asante Medical Center has recorded several first-hand accounts of patients who had undergone da Vinci robotic surgery. Martha Kelly‚ one of the patients who underwent the da Vinci‚ had severe endometriosis‚ a disorder that traps excess menstrual blood‚ causing it to excessively build up. This issue would leave Kelly paralyzed once a month‚ resorting her to take 40 ibuprofen tablets per day to mitigate her

Today in our technologically advanced world‚ our doctors and surgeons have been introduced to the wonders of robotic surgery. “Since 1921 when Czech playwright Karel Capek introduced the notion and coined the term robot in his play Rossom’s Universal Robots‚ robots have taken on increasingly more importance both in imagination and reality. ‘Robot’‚ taken from the Czech robota‚ meaning forced labor‚ has evolved in meaning from dumb machines that perform menial‚ repetitive tasks to the highly intelligent

Robotics in today’s life A robot is defined as a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform most tasks automatically or with some guidance. A robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer of some sort and an electronic programming. Many people think it is a machine that imitates a human—much like the androids in Star Wars‚ Terminator and Star Trek. People still haven ’t been able to give a robot enough understanding to reliably interact with the world

programmable in three or more axes‚ which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications. This definition works well for ISO’s main concern‚ industrial robotics‚ but it doesn’t really take care of other realms. Joseph Engelberger‚ a literal pioneer in industrial robotics‚ once said‚ "I can’t define a robot‚ but I know one when I see one." Robots can also be defined in a different way. A robot can be described as a mechanical or virtual‚ artificial agent‚ where

and an understanding of the legal requirements and responsibilities that are involved in the safe working practices associated with robotic assisted manufacture. This is to be achieved by the identification of associated hazards with robotic applications and provide an understanding of how these hazards are overcome. Typical sources of hazards associated with robotic operations within the working environment include. · Crushing · Shearing · Striking · Entrapment / entanglement · Process

And as people go into space‚ machines will go along. Of all the machines we have used and imagined‚ none have captured our interest and feelings so strongly as the class of machines called robots. The International Space Station’s new Canadarm2 robotic arm grasps a Spacelab pallet while Canadian mission specialist Chris A. Hadfield helps maneuver it into loading position while on a space walk. But what exactly is meant by the term "robot"? Moreover‚ how is it decided that it is better to use a
