James McLurkin
James McLurkin invented his robotic ants in the early 2000s, with notable developments around 2005. He aimed to explore swarm robotics and decentralized systems, inspired by the behavior of social insects. By creating these robotic ants, McLurkin sought to demonstrate how simple individual behaviors could lead to complex group dynamics, which has implications for various fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, and understanding natural systems.
His Robotic Ants. Each are about an inch across and run on 3 motors. The ants work together, and continue to do so even if half of the group is destroyed or fails in their primary goal.
A robotic device can do whatever it's designed to do. There are robotic devices that are designed to paint vehicles in an automobile manufacturing facility, and those robotic devices simply paint vehicles. There are robotic devices that are used to cut metal shapes and others that are designed to cut wooden shapes. There are robotic devices that are used to laser etch, and others that are designed to carve shapes. So far, there are no true "general purpose" robotic devices.
Yes, robotic surgery uses energy. During the procedures, electrical energy is used.
Robotic systems are available to assist with laparoscopy. A robotic arm, attached to the operating table may be used to hold and position the laparoscope.
they most common place is a factory.
The collective noun for ants is "army." This term is often used to describe a large group of ants moving together, particularly when they are foraging or swarming. Other collective nouns that can be used for ants include "colony" or "nest."
It can be used in a factory or to help the elderly and help people in car wrecks.
A mixture of lemon juice cannot be used to kill ants.
