FIRST Robotics Competition

artificial intelligence, and it’s plain to see how we’re still ages away from Skynet and Blade Runner scenarios. Or are we? Since the beginning of the 21st century, there is no question that mankind has made tremendous progress in the field of robotics. While modern robots can now replicate the movements and actions of humans, the next challenge lies in teaching robots to think for themselves and react…

Pradeep Acharya 30310841 Control of robotics Robot control mentions to the way in which the identifying and action of a robot are synchronized. There are extremely many possible robot programs, but they all fall along a well-defined range of control. Along this range, there are four basic practical methods being used today:- 1) Deliberative control Deliberative control is a typical control policy. It grew out of AI research where it was conceived human brains used this method for decision…

discovering new cures for diseases, as well as further advancing exploration in uncharted territories. These three quadrants bring back the main purpose of machinery replacing humans. On the other hand D quadrant explains the jobs that only humans can do at first. It clarifies how automation does our most basic work, meanwhile extends average human lifespan. An interesting question Kelly makes is, "What are humans for?" (Kelly 309). The definition of life is the quality that distinguishes a…

A rat Rod, why rat rods? What is a rat rod? Who built the first rat rod? Pro streets or rat rods? What are the styles of rat rods? The first top question “Why rat rods?”. Let me tell you about them in these paragraphs. But first what is a rat rod. Many people have said that they were a piece of junk through together with a budget well they're wrong. A rat rod is a vehicle you can drive for as many miles as you want and not fall apart every 2000 miles. A rat rod is a vehicle that the parts are…

Artificial Intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can cause empathy and make humans mirror neurons shake. Artificial Intelligence will cause a downfall in humanity, because it will eventually put humans out of work, need help with repairing and outsmart natural intelligence. Robots, a product of Artificial Intelligence are becoming more advanced as time goes on and will soon take over the jobs of humans. Artificial Intelligence needs humanity’s help to repair…

results from which the configurations can be compared. After the optimization of these two different wing configuration concepts, estimated values from XFLR5 were compared. The drag coefficient was found to be equal to 3.1 N for the first concept in trimmed loiter condition. For the second con- cept we found the drag coefficient to be equal to 3.13…

Considering these factors, Robots are a useful tool in our nations military and they are the military’s future. Currently robots are used in the military, police force, White House, and even industrial work around the world.( The looming robotics gap) The robots are programmable unmanned machines used to carry out basic and advanced tasks doing anything from welding…

friend in society. Robotic pets are slowly entering mainstream society, specifically targeting elderly population to provide companionship and affection. Parents have even given the robots to their children to teach them the responsibility of caring for a live animal, but there is no proven evidence this works. While invading the space we have in our hearts for genuine pets, the robots continue to provide many negative outcomes that comes with owning this imitation pet. Robotic pets have several…

detrimental to a person's health. Robotic assisted surgery has already proven to be viable and effective in many departments. We know that robots have lead for a much lower chance of getting HAI's ++Hospital Acuired Infections) since all part can be easily sterilized. Robotic surgery also requires much less time, a lower number of incisions, and less post operative pain in the patients. All of this increase the cost effectiveness, and validate the viability of the use of robotic assisted…

with the nuances of client and server side programming in Java. More importantly, I learned about the planning and coordination involved in building a multi-part industry ready system with a team of people with diverse skills. I was able to watch first-hand the software development lifecycle at work and it was personally very rewarding to see the launch of an application that I had worked on from…
