The three laws of Robotics:1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asmiov's trademark. From the Hardcover edition.

An inspired and hilarious look at how humans can defeat the inevitable robot rebellion—as revealed by a robotics expert. How do you spot a robot mimicking a human?

From treating laser wounds to fooling face and speech recognition, besting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincer combat, How to Survive a Robot Uprising covers every possible doomsday scenario facing the newest endangered species: humans.

This moving, charming graphic novel about a dog and a robot shows us in poignant detail how powerful and fragile relationships are. After a Labor Day jaunt to the beach leaves the robot rusted, immobilized in the sand, the dog must return alone to the life they shared. But the memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, the dog tries to fill the emotional void left by the loss of his closest friend, making and losing a series of friends, from a melting snowman to epicurean anteaters. But for the robot, lying rusting on the beach, the only relief from loneliness is in dreams.

“Let me carry you,” said the Robot. “I’ll carry you in my heart, and shelter you from the cold and storms.” High atop a pile of rubbish sits a lonely Robot with a broken heart. Then one winter’s day, a Bluebird appears, fighting against the freezing wind. When the Robot offers her a home in the empty space where his heart used to be, neither of them can predict what astonishing things will happen. Together the newfound friends set off on a memorable journey that will change them both.

“I wrote this book because I love building robots. I want you to love building robots, too. It took me a while to learn about many of the tools and parts in amateur robotics.

New to town, Beatrice is expecting her new best friend to be one of the girls she meets on the first day. But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet loner who hasn't made a new friend since third grade. Something about him, though, gets to Bea, and soon they form an unexpected friendship. It's not romance, exactly - but it's definitely love. Still, Bea can't quite dispel Jonah's gloom and doom - and as she finds out his family history, she understands why. Can Bea help Jonah? Or is he destined to vanish?

Isaac Asmiov's classic novel about the decline and fall of Solaria. Gladia Delmarre's homeworld, the Spacer planet Solaria, has been abandoned - by its human population. Countless robots remain there. And when traders from Settler worlds attempt to salvage them, the robots of Solaria turn to killing...in defiance of the Three Laws of Robotics. Pax Robotica Long ago, Gladia's robots Daneel and Giskard played a vital role in opening the worlds beyond the Solar system to Settlers from Earth. Now the conscience-stricken robots are faced with an even greater challenge. Either the sacred Three Laws of Robotics are in ruins - or a new, superior Law must be established to bring peace to the galaxy. With Madam Gladia and D.G. Baley - the captain of the Settler traders and a descendant of the robots' friend Elijah Baley - Daneel and Giskard travel to the robot stronghold of Solaria...where they uncover a sinister Spacer plot to destroy Earth itself.Author: Isaac Asimov Mass Market Paperback: 512 pages Company: Collins (1994-01-10) ISBN: 0586062009 List Price: $14.45 Amazon Price: $8.02 Used Price: $1.70

Servo motors are often used in robotics applications where they are usually smaller in size. The circuitry is typically built into the product you purchase and provides a beneficial amount of power. Usually a smaller engine will have a smaller motor. The torque of this motor is consistent with the overall motor size.
The output shaft is one of the main features of a servo motor. Because of this shaft, the motor can be positioned by a coded signal. The servo will remain in the same spot if you send the same signal. The servo motor's angle will change if there is a change in a signal. There are plenty of uses for servos outside of the robotics industry. Usually, they are found in radio controlled airplanes. A servo motor has the ability to travel from zero to one hundred eighty degrees and has a wide radius. The motor is designed to consistently provide the right amount of power. There will be a greater use of engine power when traveling a larger distance. The angle at which the servo motor turns is determined by the control wire. The control wire carries a pulse whose length determines the angle the servo motor changes. Pulses usually occur in twenty millisecond intervals. The servo motor will change its direction under ninety degrees with a shorter pulse, while a longer pulse will cause it to change more than ninety degrees. We hope that this article on servo motors has supplied the background material that can help you in the near future in any of your upcoming purchases. -- Samuel Circton is a manufacturer with a great appreciation for motors. He visited Pacific Technical Products, a company of Los Angels RFID tags, and saw the incredible work they did with California servo motor.

Integrated robotics is similar to other kinds of other industrial systems. The similarities are seen in the fact that robotics do depend on some compositions that make the entire system function. Each part should be carefully designed and planned so that the investment of the industry will not be put to waste.
Elements are otherwise known as the parts or compositions that make the system perform its task. Linking these compositions or elements together, the various industrial robots are created. In the creation of integrated robotics system, some factors are also being thought of. Look at all these facets of the system through the foregoing facts. Parts in integrated robotic systems Various robotic systems have varied elements. But all have common elements to consider in the assembly. Among a detailed list of basic elements are gears, bearings, clutches and springs. These components are put together to render the quality and efficiency promised by the system. When industrial robotics is being thought of, computers are crucial in the functioning of the parts. Additional elements like arms and sensors also form part of the system. Attaching all these components together, the various phases of manufacturing are served. Industrial robot kinds There are four basic subclasses for integrated robotics. First is the programmable robot that functions with the presence of commands stored in a certain database. A variety to this is the second type of industrial robot regarded as the computer-programmable robot. Obviously, this one is controlled by a computer. There are also servo and non-servo robots. Servos function with the use of arms and robotic manipulators and are important for functions such as picking up and placing down of materials. It also has the ability of transporting one object from a location to another. The non-servo robot functions in this same manner but do not rely upon manipulators and arms. Integrated robotic system creation Investment, performance and complexity of functions are factors that create the integrated robotic system. These three factors make up the main goal of the system -- Visit IndustrialSAVER.com to Buy & Sell Integrated Robotics as well as Industrial Process Systems, Hydraulic Pumps and other industrial products and services.

Mechanical engineering department offer programs in the fields of Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering Design and Energy and Environmental Technology.
In the mechanical engineering the major divisions are designs and controls, thermo-science and fluids, engineering mechanics and manufacturing. There are so many mechanical engineering programs in many colleges and universities just like mechatronics, robotics, transport and logistics, cryogenics, and biomechanics. Mechanical design and analysis processes in mechanical engineering are aided by various computational tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). In mechanical engineering design and controls, a mechanical engineer may apply CAD/CAM systems to feed "instructions" to computer numerically-controlled (CNC) machines like robots, milling machines, and lathes. In this way the engineer could automate the manufacturing process without the need for intermediate drawings. In this department mechanical engineer working in thermo-fluid might design a heat sink, an air conditioning system, or an internal combustion engine. Other processes might focus on the fluid itself, like a fan to cool an electrical system, a turbine to power a submarine, or a spray gun to apply chemical coatings. In this part most mechanical engineering programs offer the major various subjects of study. Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering include: statics, dynamics, strength of materials, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, refrigeration and air conditioning, kinematics (including robotics), manufacturing technology, mechatronics and control theory. In mechanical engineering system mechanical engineers are also expected to understand and capable to apply concepts from chemistry and electrical engineering. Mechanical engineering design is a part of the overall domain of mechanical engineering. The advent of mechanical engineering and the intrusion of equipment have largely redefined human lifestyles. Mechanized equipment, from tractors and cultivators to a wide variety of industrial machinery, had effected an explosion in agricultural productivity during the early 20th century. Hence mechanical engineering evolved at an ever accelerating rate over the century. -- To get more information about mechanical engineering please visit our website at http://www.mechanical3dmodelling.com/ and contact at info@mechanical3dmodelling.com Source: http://www.articletrader.com Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Toronto, Canada- Those of us who aren’t privy to weapons development secrets might be shocked to learn how advancements in robotics are changing the shape of the United States Armed Forces—and other armies around the world. More than 6,000 robots are already used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Astronomical amounts of money are being funneled into artificial intelligence research. While that can ultimately lead to less human risk for U.S. troops on the battlefield, can the threat of armed robots be used against us by terrorists?
Howard S. Smith, author of the new book “I, robot” (Robot Binaries & Press www.robotpress.net) is an MIT-trained engineer and artificial intelligence expert. His techno thriller is a modern update to the original “I, Robot” book written in the 1940’s. Smith says while robotics can have innocuous applications, such as the supermarket self-checkout machines he helped create, the bulk of funding for artificial intelligence research is not directed towards consumers. Instead, the focus is on developing new weapons and tools for the military. “Hundreds of billions of dollars are going into military applications, with virtually no money for consumer applications,” says Smith. “The idea of a robot walking your dog or washing your windows might be appealing but it’s still far-fetched. However, a robotic Army is not. And, don’t expect those Hollywood-created versions of robotic soldiers. The robots you’ve seen in movies aren’t necessarily what the military’s creating.” The military currently uses Predator aircraft drones and bomb-defusing robots; both of which have undoubtedly saved countless lives of U.S. troops. While definite improvements over military weapons of yesteryear, these robots still require a human at the controls. But the latest advancements in military robotics and artificial intelligence are aimed at cutting out the middleman, i.e. removing the human factor from the decision making. That’s right; the military is creating weapons that will ultimately ‘decide’ whether to fire weapons. And that dramatically raises the stakes for the military and for civilians. “These robots can take the place of troops in dangerous missions,” says Smith. “In that sense, they are an appealing tool. But you have to look at the drawbacks. How do you equip a robot with a conscience? Can we be certain that robots can distinguish between an armed enemy and a curious child? These are serious questions that must be addressed before these autonomous robots become standard gear for the military.” The U.S. is not alone in its quest for robotic weapons. Other nations, such as China, Israel and Russia are reportedly developing unmanned military robotics. This high-tech arms race has many AI experts wondering if any international agreement will be created to draft a code of ethics for use of robotic weapons. “As we become more accustomed to these robots, we will ultimately give them more control,” says Smith. “Our leaders must make smart, ethical decisions about these ‘thinking’ weapons. We grew up watching The Jetsons and when their futuristic world of incredible inventions never materialized we chalked it all up to fantasy. Well, we may not have George Jetson’s flying car but we definitely have robots. They are here now, on the battlefield, and these machines will change our world.” -- Howard S. Smith has a degree in Biomedical engineering from MIT. He was the founder and president of Optimal Robotics, which patented, designed, built, and installed the supermarket self-checkout machines, which were originally called “service robots.” He left the company before it went public on NASDAQ in 1996. The company eventually sold the self-checkout robotics to Fujitsu and NCR, purchased other companies and changed its name to Optimal Group. Smith currently offers consulting services in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence through Robot Binaries & Press Corp. www.robotpress.net Source: http://www.articletrader.com Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:10:05 -0600

A robot is a autonomous device which performs automated tasks, either according to direct human control, partial control with human supervision, or completely autonomously. Robots are typically used to do tasks that are too dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans. Industrial robots used in manufacturing lines used to be the most common form of robots, but that has recently been replaced by consumer robots cleaning floors and mowing lawns. Other applications include toxic waste cleanup, underwater and space exploration, surgery, mining, search and rescue, and mine finding. Robots are also finding their way into entertainment and home health care.
Overview The word robot comes from the Czech word robota meaning "drudgery", "servitude", or "forced labor". A robot can be defined as a man-made entity with an intelligent connection between perception and action. A robot may include a feedback-driven connection between sense and action, not under direct human control. The action may take the form of electro-magnetic motors or effectors that move an arm, open and close grippers, or propel the robot. Two basic ways of using effectors are to move the robot around or to move other objects around. This distinction divides robotics into two mostly separate categories: mobile robotics and manipulator robotics. The step by step control and feedback is provided by a computer program run on either an external or embedded computer or a microcontroller. Alternately, robot has been used as the general term for a mechanical man, or an automaton resembling an animal, either real or imaginary. It has come to be applied to many machines which directly replace a human or animal in work or play. In this way, a robot can be seen as a form of biomimicry. Anthropomorphism is perhaps what makes us reluctant to refer to the highly complex modern washer-dryer as a robot. However, in modern understanding, the term implies a degree of independence that would exclude many automatic machine tools from being called robots. It is the search for ever more highly autonomous robots which is the major focus of robotics research and which drives much work in artificial intelligence. Though we tend to think of robots as extremely complicated, thanks typically to their anthropomorphic physical design and our excess of indoctrination to the "Danger, Will Robinson!" robots of 1960s television, the fundamental elements are very simple. Motion is achieved by motors controlled by digital circuits that incorporate a key power semiconductor switching element called a thyristor or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR). The robot turns when only one of two parallel motors is actuated: for example, stopping the left motor while running the right motor causes the dummy to turn left. Digital signals fed to the motor control circuitry determine which motors move at which times. The problem can range from very simple (e.g., turning left or right) to very complex (e.g., controlling an elbow and wrist to move an item from a conveyor belt to a shelf). The signals can be sent by an outside element (e.g., a human operator) or by internal circuitry that makes "decisions" based upon observations of the robot's environment and may alter these decisions based upon whether the motion is proceeding acceptably (see feedback). Underlying simplicities not withstanding, combinations of various computer systems and electromechanical subsystems can produce the appearance of profound sophistication, e.g., a "chess-playing robot" that really should be viewed as two discreet systems Chess-playing software that has nothing to do with robotics; A Robot that interacts with the chess board. -- Sheldon Kalnitsky is an expert author, who is presently working on the site Sheldon kalnitsky .
