5.0 Potential Products from Robotic Technology 5.1 Introduction Today, the number of robots in the world is approaching 1,000,000. The confluence of various advanced and improved technologies is bringing the age of robotic technology ever cheaper, nearer, smaller and cost effective. There are three aspects of any robot which are brawn, bone and brain. Brawn means the strength relating to physical payload that a robot can move. Next, bone stands for the physical structure of a robot relative to the
In today’s world technology plays a vital role in different parts of our lives. It has eased life responsibilities and day-to-day business. Furthermore, according to admin “The rise of the internet technology has improved our daily lives in many ways. The world business and trade has become faster, easier and more reliable.” (Admin).For instance, technology enables us to transger cash online, buy online products, perform digital work, and many more. It has also evolved workplaces into business organizations
Limitations on Robotic Technology Should the progression of robotic technology be limited? Are movies like Terminator foretelling what will happen as the twenty-first century expands its boundaries with robotics? Are robots becoming too smart? Should humans trust robots to learn and act on their own? Can and will robots turn on their masters? In the movie Terminator a robot from the future comes back to forewarn the people that if they do not change the direction that technology is going then
Chapter 1 Project description Introduction Background of the Study Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture and application. It requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics, and software, and is usually accompanied by a large working knowledge of many subjects. An automated guided vehicle or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision or lasers. Computer-controlled and wheel-based, automatic
Advanced Manufacturing: Robotic Technology and Automation Summary At present a Car Company manufacture a part of an automobile suspension assembly known as a Crosstube. They are considering moving from manual to robotic production in either a single cell/single robot or line/multi robot layout. The following report recommends the use of the Fanuc Arc Mate robot, which is a compact, six axis, modular-built, electric servo-driven robot which is controlled by the a R-J3 controller with ArcTool
The robotic technology development is gaining momentum in the 21st century. A robot can be defined as a machine that performs different tasks and can be programmed by humans (Pangka, Hui and Yan 2013). The qualities of robots such as tirelessness and lack of emotionality makes them perfect task performers. Robots are used in many spheres such as domestic service, military, and healthcare. There are also several types of robots used in medicine. Robots can be used as nurse assistants, patient companions
of new devices grows day to day. Robotic technology was one of the major and important solution for their busy life. According to the robotics pdf, chapter 1, the word ‘robot’ came from Czech language ‘robota’. Robota means labour. This was introduced by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play which was published in 1920 called R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots).The word "robotics" was coined by Isaac Asimov in his 1941 science fiction short-story “Liar”.( robotics, pdf, chapter1) [6] As mentioned in
science fiction regarding nano-robots, there has been much advancement of the nano-robotics field in the areas of biochips, DNA robots, nano-motors, and a conceptual nanocar. Nano-robotics holds huge promise in future applications but with the current technological limits, usable nano-robots administered by doctors for care or a nano-factory designed by engineers are still science fiction. 2. BACKGROUND Nano-robotics attempts to create machines that perform repetitive tasks at the nano-scale. The
Nowadays, technology is a dominant feature in the lives of people around the world. Most of daily life activities involve the use of technology which is expanding every day through scientific innovations. However, such innovations do not always occur in every part of the world, but mostly in technologically developed countries, such as South Korea, the USA and Japan. Presently, the development of robotics science has become a subject of considerable attention in those countries. According to Weng
microprocessor based automated systems just to name a few. The ultimate goal of industrial engineering is to expedite processes; therefore, with such developed and modern technology, the manufacturing process is more efficient, cost effective, and there is almost no human error. With all its benefits the automation and robotics movement has made way for new fetes and greater prospects in economic terms for large-scale firms. The idea behind robots and their uses has been a compilation of thoughts
