First Robotics Competition, or FRC, is a progeam designed for highschool studenbts. Where in they are given a challenge then recieve 6 weeks to design, build and program a brand new robot, before heading off to competetion. This year the game was First Power up, where teams could deliver power cubes to either the small switches, the massive scale, or place them in the exchange for power ups. The robot, "TacocaT", the NERDS designed for this is an inventive and well desinged rbobot, from its use of chasis space, to its pnuematic claw and arm. TacocaT has a realitively large chassis compared to past years, and we took adavntage of that to the best of our ability. Contained within the chassis are the plywood boards containing the pnuematics and electronice. The board in the front of the robot holds all the key electronics to robot functions, including the motor controlers and robo rio. It also has a designated spot for the robots battery, this helps to insure the battery stays firmly within the robot at all times. The pnuematics board is located in the back of the robot holds all the core pnuematic systems. …show more content…
3 pnuematic cylinders are strong enough to raise the arm to over 6 feet in the air then bring it all the way back down when aided by two gas springs. Having such a simple raising and lowering device means there are way fewer things that could go wrong, and makes pit crew's life easier. The claw which is affixed to then end of the arm is another fascinatinng design ( I designed and built it so I'm slighty biased twards it). Using two pnuematic cylinders affixed to plates extening from the back of the wrist and then to a pivot point on the arms, the claw can get a solid hold on a cube from almost any angle. The claw is also attached to a chain driven wrist that allows it to hinge backward allowing the robot to hold the cube secruerly within it's
The robotics team from Carl Hayden high school faces many hardships individually and collectively. An obstacle that they faced was money issues, and they were on a tight budget. Oscar also had an obstacle. He couldn’t join the military because he was undocumented. The money issue is stated in paragraph 17, It states the following “Despite the donations, they were still on a tight budget.” This sentence proves that they have money issues, and they raised a total of $800, and it is stated in paragraph 17 as well, “Oscar and his team raised a total of about $800.” As it is stated in the text before, the robotics team at Carl Hayden’s high school doesn’t have as much money donated to them as others teams, so that limited their options for parts, which puts them at a
First Law: A robot must never harm a human being or, through inaction, allow any human to come to harm.
R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) was set in the post World War 1 era. The war led to an increase in production and industrialization throughout most of the world. The assembly line and humans that did monotonous tasks at work became much more common. Some felt that that this physical labor was inhuman. Rossum sought to find a way to make human labor unnecessary so that humans could do as they pleased and find only pleasure in life.
The patient-side cart comprises three or four robotic arms, two or three instrument arms and one endoscope arm that perform the commands as dictated by the surgeon.
There are some video crew members who use square tubing, angle irons and some creativity in order to create makeshift jib crane. They attach the counterweights using zip ties then mount the device on a simple tripod.
The utilization of robotics in the medical field is a cutting-edge technology which continues to develop rapidly. The main purpose for the integration of medical robotics in health-care is to sanction for a greater sense of accuracy in surgical procedures, which is something that has not been previously achieved by human capabilities alone. This sense of accuracy has incremented what makes medical robotics a unique and valuable integration to the field of medicine. The field of medical robotics offers great potential for maximizing the capabilities of medicos and surgeons when performing complex surgical procedures, or when there is a strong need for dexterity and precision in diagnosis and treatment. Although the interest is mainly on surgical robotics, medical robotics covers a wide variety of patient-care areas.
When people hear the term “FIRST Robotics” or hear anything related to robotics, they automatically assume that it has something to do with robots destroying each other or nerds sitting in the corner eating pizza and building small robots; I used to be one of those people who thought that before joining FIRST Robotics. In all honesty, I was very reluctant on becoming a part of FIRST Robotics in the first place because I did not know if I would fit in or even enjoy it for that matter. However, thanks to two special people I gave FIRST Robotics a shot, and I’m thankful that I did because I wouldn’t be the person that I am today. FIRST Robotics has greatly impacted my high school experience by teaching me life skills that I can’t learn in the classroom, forming new bonds and
Claw machines are not enjoyable arcade games, but rather sinister devices designed to take advantage of young and naive children. The single objective of these machines is to increase profit margins for their owners, who rig the machines in order to do so. As Edwards explains, “...the claw machine is programmed to have a strong grip only part of the time.” That
In the movie WALL-E he is a simple tasks robot. He just makes a compact blocks of trash and stacks them up everyday. Wall-e is always wondering and that can be misleading at times. When he meets a character known as Ev, she gets WALL-E when situations he makes it more of a bigger deal than it would've been if it was Ev herself. If there is a object and WALL-E hasn’t seen it he put just pick it up and mess with it.

The report is based on the roles of technology in developing marketing strategies for Robi. This report is broadly categorized in six different parts. At First there is prefatory where describe the telecommunication sector in Bangladesh along with introduction, objective, scope, limitation and methodology. The main objectives of the report are analyzing the roles of technology in developing marketing strategies for Robi.
The concept of weaponized autonomous robots is heavily debated due to the ethical implications their existence poses. Over the years, the stance on how to approach such a topic has drastically changed with the need to create newer weapons for the military to compete with potential threats from other nations. As this paper will discuss, what used to be a precautionary approach when discussing robot autonomy has now taken a backseat to the rushed development of these weapons. The research of this technology has now produced an arms race, as predicted by writers from the past who warned us about the issues that may rise from creating such weapons before establishing a mutually agreed upon code of conduct. Being that there were no real boundaries on this type of technology in the pre-2010 era, many researchers sought to establish guidelines. But their attempts seemed to have fallen on deaf ears when many experts today agree that such weaponry inevitably under production due to the power
The open ended ness of the assignment led to many proposed choices concerning the path of robot, type of control and implantation of chosen design. The most obvious choice was optic sensors, as the tape would ensure a consistent route through the maze and the most accurate times. The design would be as obvious as the route: two sensors controlling the speed or direction of the wheels. When one sensor drifted from the light the wheels would compensate to bring the robot back on track. The idea seemed simple and a sure way to rapidly complete the assignment without trouble. Further thought engendered many concerns: not only must the robot navigate the course but it must also do it faster than the competing teams. Sensors would ensure the robot would cross the finish line, but not with a fast time. The course the sensors must take is loopy and has somewhat sharp turns for the non agile robot. Speed would have to be decreased in order to keep the robot on the track, as a fast and sharp turn could throw the robot off the tape, destroying any possibility of a finish. Another problem arose with sensitivity. The robot, once of the tape a little, would not be able to smoothly get back on the course, resulting in swerving and thus making the course twice as long. With these considerations in mind, we decided that the sensor idea would not be the best choice for our final design.
For my final project I decided to build a robot garbage truck that can drive by itself on a ?road? and pick up garbage. This garbage truck would also be able to distinguish from trashcans and anything else that might be in its place. This robot is a one-of-its-kind creation that has to my knowledge never been tried before. So I could replicate a real garbage truck as much as possible, I researched how garbage trucks work and how they have changed in the past 85 years of existence. I decided to create an arm unlike any garbage truck so far only because regular garbage truck arms need to be placed in a very small area to be able to lift up the trashcans. In seven days of work I was unable to finish creating my robot. I was only able to completely build the robot and partially program it. I believe that I made tremendous progress in building this robot in the time that I worked on it. This project has taught me so much on how to build a vehicle that replicates something useful for mankind.
