Robotics
This branch of technology deals with the design, development, operation, structural disposition and application of robots. Robotics is related to other sciences including software, mechanics and engineering. Current robots have the capability to move and speak.
2,104 Questions
What are the impacts that a robot has on its intended audience?
the fact that it can be programmed to do things human kind cannot
No girls are not robots. They are made up of cells just like you.
What is the name of the first female robot?
Robots are gender neutral. When building a robot the manufacturer may decide to endow it with what we may consider to be male or female characteristics, but the robot will still be gender neutral.
And of course, the builder of the robot may give it whatever name he/she decides.
What are the drawbacks of humanoid robots?
Giving a robot too much autonomy introduces the possibility of unexpected behaviors. In the computer world, that's called a "bug".
As of December 2010, the answer is "no."

China's SD-10 claimed to be a dual-mode AAM.
Robert Hewson Jane's Air-Launched Weapons Editor - Zhuhai, China
China's SD-10 medium-range air-to-air missile (AAM), as exhibited at Airshow China earlier in November, may be a considerably more capable weapon than was hitherto believed, Jane's understands.
Officials from the SD-10's manufacturer, the Luoyang Electro-Optical Technology Development Center (LOEC), said the missile was designed from the beginning to function with a dual-mode seeker operating in distinct active and passive radar homing modes. If so, the SD-10 is the first AAM to enter service with this acknowledged capability.
There have been suggestions that the latest AIM-120D Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) developed by Raytheon for the US Air Force and Navy has a similar dual-mode seeker capability. The full capabilities of the AIM-120D remain classified, but its development has been problematic and it has yet to enter operational service."
What are some good advantages rescue robots have done?
They have helped rescue people in medical needs that don't have any help at the time.
What is programming robots mean?
It is the process of writing commands for a robot which will influence its future actions.
Additional InformationRobotic devices are typically controlled by one or more microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are basically little computers, with Read Only Memory (ROM) and processor in a single package.The output of the microcontroller operates the servos and other devices of the robotic device.
So basically, when you program a robot, you're just telling the microcontroller how to perform the functions that make the robot do its work.
What is the disadvantage in remotely operated underwater robot?
Water
An increasing number of hobbyists, institutions and companies are developing unmanned underwater vehicles. There are many obstacles yet to overcome to make underwater robots attractive to the wider robotic community though in recent years, several companies have commercialized pool cleaning "robots". Underwater vehicles can use ballast (compressed air and flooded compartments), thrusters, tail and fins or even wings to submerge. Other aquatic robots such as pool cleaners are useful commercial products.
Advantages- Most of our planet is water, so there is a lot to explore and discover
- Design is almost guaranteed to be unique
- Can be used and/or tested in a pool
- Robot can be lost many ways (sinking, leaking, entangled…)
- Most electronic parts do not like water (also consider water falling on electronics when accessing the robot after a dive)
- Surpassing depths of 10m or more can require significant research and investment
- Very limited robotic community to provide help
- Limited wireless communication options
What are the disadvantages of humanoid robot?
Fine motor control. Basically the use of hands and walking. Walking is way more difficult than it feels, especially in a big clunky machine. Robots at this point just don't move as fluidly as we do.
What is a scientist called that studies and develops robots?
I do not know if there is a name for it, but I know that most people who go into robotics are engineers.
What limitations do you think should be placed on the use of robots?
many limitations should be placed on robots because robots may fail when you can rely on humons to sit down and figure out the problem
Robots are still very basic machines and started in industry and factories. Robot type machines have been in use in building cars since the late 1970's. Japan has made several early prototype robots that do minor things, but has yet to produce one for that does more than move a bit and say one or two words. It will take time before we have a true human working type robot.
What are the materials needed to make a robot?
Generally:
- Some kind of controller (such as a computer, microcontroller or PLC)
- Servos and actuators (as needed for the tasks of the automated device)
- Assorted gears, cables, relays, sensors
- Some kind of power supply; typically a battery
- Other electronic devices as deemed necessary, such as IC chips, diodes, UARTS or other communication chips, RF controllers
- And anything else you can dream up that might be useful in the robot you're trying to build.
Good luck; robotics can be a fun and enjoyable hobby.The most fun is when you dig into the controller and figure out how to make your robot accomplish the tasks that you want it to perform. Programming your robot can be both challenging and rewarding.
