In a sense, modern commercial aircraft and many military fighter aircraft are already flying robotic devices.
Built in computer controls fly many of the airplanes that are in the air at this moment, it's called "fly by wire". Some of the fighter aircraft are so difficult to keep in the air, the only way to actually perform that task without tiring out the pilot is to have the computer manage the control surfaces while the pilot only appears to fly the airplane.
As for commercial aircraft, auto-pilot is certainly a robotic function.
The first patent for an industrial robot was awarded to George Devol in 1954.
More Information:
It was a programmable mechanical arm called Unimate.
Can a human work for longer than a robot?
no because robots have batteries and human have heart a batterie lasts longer
How do robots help people in space?
the roam (go around) planets. they have a camera attatced to them so that we can see what the 'robot sees. usually we send these 'robots' to space to see if there is any life on planets.
How is a robot useful in space?
Robots are useful in space to accomplish tasks that astronauts can't do by themselves as well as helping them. They are used in construction, scanning, maintenance, and docking procedures, amongst other tasks.
How can a robot save the earth?
A robot can't save the earth. A robot could help people around the world in different ways but it can't save the world! Only god can do that! :)
Why don't small companies in the US adopt modern technologies?
Cost of implementation of new technologies mostly. Robotics for example have a LARGE initial cost and programming time investment but pay off quickly if you have have the right application.
What impact did the elevator invention have on American history?
Elevators allowed architects to build practical buildings that have many more floors for both businesses and residential applications. Higher vertical densities allowed for greater population densities of big cities.
How do the components of a robot compare to the five major components of humans?
they all do the same job.
How does a hydraulic robot arm work?
In order for a Hydraulic robot arm to work, it has to be connected to a tube. The ends of the tube have to be connected to syringes (without the needle). One syringe is pushed in, while the other one is pulled out. As you push one syringe in, the other pushes out, which causes the arm to move.
What type of sensors exploratory robots use?
Heat, motion, and cameras. Heat detects temperatures of life such as us. Motion detects movement of anything in the robots sight, and cameras provide the details of the exploration.
What accident in 1986 need for a robot to go where humans couldn't?
Chernobyl it was a huge nuclear disaster and if you went well you died from radiation
How is the wakamaru taught to do its task?
It is taught to perform tasks by performing the programmig process, which is filled with many advanced technologies that are hard to describe
