Most of these interactions are with simple appliances such as a projector giving a notification that it will go to standby mode in “one minutes” or a self-checkout machine

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

"Planet of the Apes" depicts a world where apes rule while humans are subjected to servitude and confinement. These apes speak intelligibly and are human-like in appearance and behavior. In 2001: A Space Odyssey‚ the highly advanced computer‚ HAL 9000‚ an acronym for "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic
