Czech Author Karel Capek‚ the man who coined the term robot‚ an army of mechanical monsters that succeeded in taking over the world‚ in his 1921 play R.U.R. Today‚ real-life versions are starting to find places in factories and plants‚ which are taking over a number of our industries most monotonous jobs. Unlike the robots of the past‚ which are usually stationary and must be manned by production workers‚ these newer‚ smarter‚ industrial robots can be moved from job to job and programmed to perform

Any time during the day or night‚ you can see 60 robot arms at 10 production lines polishing the modules‚ a job that required 650 workers in the past. According to reports‚ 90 per cent of the factory’s workforce comprises robots‚ with just a few human workers to monitor the machinery. Elsewhere in the world‚ Ports of Auckland plans to replace 50 jobs with Autostrads‚ which are 15m tall‚ automated straddle carriers. These container-stacking robots can stack up to four containers high and would result

society that habitually creates culture‚ the use and innovative birth of technology has become ingrained within our own. Even more so‚ technology is replacing jobs that were once occupied by people and we are becoming more dependent on its convenience. Robots‚ every day‚ are being created to simplify tasks‚ are being coded to respond to orders‚ to learn‚ to observe and to mimic humanistic features. Many hope to create artificial intelligence that has human characteristics such as self-awareness‚ emotions

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

In the article‚ “NASA’s Valkyrie robots set the table for human life on Mars‚” by Matt O’Brien the author informs the reader of NASA’s plan‚ to send robots to Mars as part of a construction team that sets up structures for human explorers. But first NASA is trying to find new homes at universities where engineers can tinker with these robots. Their goal is to make these robots able to work independently and construct major structures for the colonization of Mars. That this is a major jump from a

deaths in these disasters always get to me because I know everyone has someone. My plan is to design and create robots to help save people from places that are too dangerous for relief workers such as a war zone or a building that has toppled from an earthquake. I have been dedicated to this goal by interacting with multiple robotics clubs since middle school‚ researching and designing robots in my spare time‚ and teaching myself 5 programing languages (C++‚ C#‚ JavaScript‚ Python‚ and Assembly) I just

ROBOTS ARE REPLACING HUMANS Robot‚ a Czech word meaning "worker" was invented by the Czech writer Karel Capek in 1920. His story is about robot and human interactions. It is the first known story about robots. Then many other stories about artificial beings began to be written everywhere in the world. At the same time‚ scientists started to invent new technologies which permit now to build real robots as described in these old and new novels. The first robots were machines known as automates. They

Have you always wanted to build your own robot? Oh of course you have‚ what person in their right mind hasn’t dreamed of playing catch with the magnificent C-3PO? Well even though he is amazing‚ I personally cannot create such a robot. However‚ a more R2D2-esque model is in my creative arsenal. Yes‚ it is difficult to build even a small robot‚ but don’t be discouraged. To start‚ you must gather a few easy to find and necessary materials. Grab yourself some high-quality glue‚ Velcro‚ dual-lock tape
