Although the Dalai Lama has been of fundamental importance to advocate non-violent approaches to policies and has never claimed to be seeking an independent nation status for Tibet, disputes between the two States have frequently escalated into violent conflict. After almost 10 years of the guerrilla war between Tibetan rebels and China’s The People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers, on the 17th March 1959, the political and spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his own…

Tibet has long been a target for its neighboring countries, especially China. Since its foundation in the late 7th century, the former independent state has been invaded, conquered, and used too many times to count. To name a few: in 1207, it was the Genghis Khan-led Mongols, whom Tibet allowed to take control for fear of a potentially devastating fight (Leibo). In 1604, an army came from Manchuria and took Tibet by force. In 1903 (McKay), Colonel Francis Younghusband took it upon himself to…

At the end of Isaac Asimov 's The Caves of Steel, robots seem to be the salvation of the human race, as foreseen by Dr. Fastolfe and the spacers--a highly advanced society of humans from the outer worlds. At the same time the spacers believe they have preserved the future of humanity, however, in an event foreshadowing how robots will one day represent a threat to humanity and perhaps the failure of the spacers’ plan, Robot Daneel Olivaw says the most shocking lines of the story: “[g]o and sin…

An unexpectedly accident, no one is ready to do any to escape. This earthquake is the most destructive seism, since the founding of the people 's Republic of China. It is also one of the most serious casualties after the earthquake in Tangshan. This accident caused a total of 69,227 deaths; 17,923 missing population; 374,643 injured; and children lost their lovely of home and family member ; destroyed an entire Sichuan. When the headlines coming out being a Chinese, we are mournful. After this…

On May 12, 2008, a disastrous earthquake, measuring at 8.0 Ms, occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China. The earthquake resulted from the collision between the Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate along the Longmenshan fault (Liu &Wang, 2013). As one of the most severe earthquakes happened in China, it caused a huge number of deaths and made millions of people become homeless (Zhang et al, 2012). A disaster is not only caused by the natural hazard, which is sometimes unavoidable,…

(Chen&Dong 2013).The term autonomous robots can be defined as robots that perform behaviors or tasks with a high degree of autonomy, which are particularly desirable in fields such as space exploration, housing services, water pollution treatment and transferring goods or services. There is no doubt that these robots would actually bring benefits to the economy and influence the world deeply. However, on the other hand, an argument…

fingers. Would you prefer a robot or a human to perform your surgery? This will be a question you might ask yourself in the near future. But what if there is a robot being controlled by a human? Right now there are robots already performing surgeries with the help of a human guiding them and there are also surgeons who are receiving help from robots when they perform an operation. Recent breakthroughs in science are giving surgeons that ability to receive help from robots during surgeries,…

1. General 1.1 Participation All the participants are required to build and operate robots at their own risk. Combat Robotics can amount to risk and hence it is dangerous. There can be no specific rules and regulations that can encompass all the dangers involved. Hence, utmost precaution is to be taken while building, testing or competing in Roboevents. 1.2 Loopholes If you have invented a robot or a weapon that does not fit within the given parameters or the framework such as size or category,…

Autonomous technology has always been an important part of space exploration. Spacecraft can be fully autonomous or can work in collaboration with human operator on earth. All space exploration vehicles needs to be at least partly autonomous because of the distance that separates it from the nearest space station. Far distances mean that communication with the vehicle will always be delayed, therefore the vehicle won’t be able to react to sudden changes. For example, it takes 14 minutes for a…

Killer Robots Autonomous weapons, commonly known as killer robots has seen their rise in prominence in the last decade or so. The first "killer robots" date all the way back to World War Two, with the Soviet Teletanks and the German Goliath remote controlled mine. Both of these weapons were extremely advanced for their time and both had the same common goal of inflicting as much damage on the enemy with minimal loss on their side. That does not sound like a very promising morally strong back up…
