FIRST Robotics Competition

movies to reality with slithering snakes and creepy crawling roaches that carry mini computers inside of them. The technology is being used to detect the lost survivors in disaster areas because they can survive through the tough terrain that human first responders can 't fit and maneuver through like small cracks and crevices. Although they are creative in design, they have to maintain the intellectual standards of robots the way people have seen them portrayed…

1) Develop your own future sport technological product (meaning try not to use one that we already know about). Sports has become its own form of business and entertainment, but may fail to realize that a lot of intricate details goes into being a sports practitioner, player, etc. One of the major factors of sports that goes unnoticed a lot of the time is the learning aspect. To be successful at any level, it is important to study the game and critique your craft. Specifically, at the college…

Robot, and Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, certainly think so. They both believe that in order to have a strong team, one must use their unique skills to contribute to their team’s success. In La Vida Robot, Davis describes a high school robotics team who use their combined talents to create a robot. This group consisted of four members: Lorenzo Santillan, Oscar Vazquez, Cristian Arcega, and Luis Aranda. Lorenzo was the “mechanic man” who “was ready to build something of his own”…

Global Development Besio (2004) addresses global developmental gains through play with the implementation of individualized technologies for children with disabilities. A three-year Action-Research study was conducted in three separate phases. The first phase of the trial involved planning an individualized play program, gathering study subjects, and organizing necessary groups to implement the program and gather data. The second phase of the trial consisted of observation and assessment of 6…

The history of military robotics dates back to World War II and the Cold War. During those times of spying, weaponry and strategic attacks, these robots were in the form of Germany’s type of robotics and Russian weaponry called “teletanks”. It originated combined with a radio controlled boat intended to use by the military from Nicola Tesla. As the Soviets had created the teletanks, they were modified to be controlled by the radio signals. Weather conditions made it pretty tough to use, but…

sometime in the 21st century. Explaining how these AI robots will overtake humans in 2100 he says the robots intelligence will be astounding. In another article by Sony Pictures the authors explain how they have a robot film called “Chappie” that was the first droid to develop emotions. Currently there are engineers who are working to more fully integrate emotional and artificial intelligence. Similarly, emotions and artificial intelligence are very important in the film “I,Robot” where Dr.…

(Remote Manipulator System) has two types of arms. The first one is computer-operated and programed for a specific function, and the second one requires a human to control the movement of the arm to do the job. (woodfill, 2011) Also, some of the space robots are orbiters, rovers and landers. One of the orbiter robots is the mariner 4; it flew past mars on July 25, 1965. It also took the first close up photos of another planet. On the other hand, the first landers were the Viking landers, Viking…

In the future world where advance technology is available such as robotic bodies, invisibility, and night vision, many people lost their understanding and feeling of being human. “Ghost in the Shell” shows a cyborg girl to be hacking the Puppet Master. Major Mira, is not only a cyborg but is a human cyborg. This film shows the audience that technology will one day evolve, and robotics will improve life in ways that ordinary people will not be able to handle. This paper seeks to explore how…

Locking mechanism The joints had to be such that they can be loosened and tightened at any required configuration, this obstacle was overcome by the use of wing nut at the end of the screw instead of a normal nut, and the image below shows the wing nut and bolt. This is the most cost effective yet strong way of locking the joints compared to knobs and other clamp mechanisms. Materials For the Robot Arm Construction our group members had a variety of materials to choose from, these materials…

machine or the computer or any application used to make its creation and creativity and help the application to take decisions like humans so it is used in making games, toys, computers, in the internet where the searching engines and absolutely in robotics. AI researchers and textbooks define the field of artificial intelligence as "the study and design of intelligent agents" in which an intelligent agent is a system that imagine its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of…
