What is the formula for diameter radius circumference?
Radius is the distance from the outside of the circle to the center.
Diameter is the distance ACROSS the circle, it's formula is:
D = 2R (Diameter is 2 times the Radius)
Circumference is the distance AROUND the circle.
C = Pi D, where Pi is the constant 3.1415.... (look it up))
What is the process of making a robot?
Generally robots r the tools for making things easier in our daily lifes. Generally concept of robots derived from computers. As computer robots has its own software which helps us to communicate, make them obtain human functionality.
How do you make a robot that does your homework?
First, you have to do your homework so that you can understand the important subjects, such as math, physics, metallurgy... then you should go on to computer science, and electronics where you can learn about micro-controllers, actuators, sensors, stepper motors, data communications and other related subjects.
THEN, once you have a good understanding of computers, AND physics, you might be able to build a robot that can do your homework... but it all seems a little pointless by then.
because million years ago there was many robot there so they made it with metals and alecticity and light
What are the positive effects using robots?
Robots (in terms of machines designed to carry out certain physical tasks) can provide a wide variety of benefits to society. The most prominent benefit of robots is that they allow physical tasks to be performed at a greater speed than humans could reasonably achieve, and that tasks can be performed by robots that are beyond the reasonable physical capabilities of humans.
For example, in manufacturing, mechanised processes allow production to take place at a great speed, with little human effort required. This allows for the low-cost mass-production of goods. These manufacturing processes allow for great precision, and can allow products of a very high quality to be produced. for instance a little girl age of 6 was in a car crash & lost her leg, but robotics was there & saved her lost leg
What are the positive and negative effects of using robots?
Positive : makes life easier negative : makes us lazy
What sensors does the robot have?
The sensors that an engineer puts on a robot are entirely dependent upon the functions that the engineer perceives that the the robot will be called upon to perform.
Some, but not all, of the sensors may be:
proximity sensors,
pressure sensors,
light sensors,
magnetic sensors,
a camera,
temperature sensors,
accelerometer,
speed sensor...
The question isn't, "what sensors does a robot have", but rather, "what sensors does the engineer think that the robot should have?"
Why is a robot a robot and a human a human?
The differences between robots and humans include:
- Humans have a biological form; robots do not.
- Humans have living tissue that makes up skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, blood, and all organs including the brain; robots do not.
- Humans are born after 9 months of being carried and nourished in a female human's uterus; Robots are constructed (built).
- Human infants can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch within the womb and can use these senses from birth, even though eyesight is poor at birth; robots cannot.
- Humans have instinctual knowledge from birth; robots do not.
- Humans begin learning from the moment of birth; robots must wait until the last piece of hardware and last portion of software are active, and can only "learn" if that is part of their programming.
- Humans move in a variety of ways and because of the biological make up can twist, turn, sit, lay, walk, run, jump, climb, and -- scratch; robots do not easily move and do not have the neuro-muscular control that humans have so robots cannot perform all the movements that a human can do.
- Robots do not feel sensations (heat, cold, itching, etc.) so they will not respond to surface sensory stimuli; a human will scratch an itch, rub an area of skin that is cold, etc.
- Humans have sweat glands; robots don't.
- Humans have reproductive organs; robots don't, so they can never bear their own young.
- Humans have hormones and emotions that act together to make humans want to have sex; robots don't have any sexual urges.
- Humans need and seek love; Robots can exist without both.
- Robots may be able to preform mathematical calculations faster, but robots cannot discuss, explain, or defend their answers. These are higher functioning skills within the human brain.
- Robots will never know the "gray area" of decision-making, whereas humans must make decisions between "not so bad" and "not so good" every day.
- Robots can never experience loss-- whether of self or someone else. For example, a victim of a car accident may lose a leg and grieves that loss, but a robot wouldn't react if its leg was removed. A mother will grieve for years after the death of her child, but the death would not phase a robot.
- Robots cannot know the pressure and drive behind hopes and dreams. A human, though, can hold onto a hope or dream for decades, and repeatedly seek ways to make that hope or dream a reality.
- Robots can help humans do some tasks faster, but a robot can never fall in love or fall in love as fast as a human can.
There's likely more to add, but these points are key.
How is the robot taught to perform its task?
Programming of most current robots is performed using basic instructions such as:
- Raise control arm to index (find out where you are)
- Open manipulator fingers to index (find out where you are)
- Turn motor shaft clockwise to index point (find out where you are)
- Turn motor shaft counter-clockwise 35 pulses of the encoder. (correlates with a specific angle)
- Lower control arm until resistance is detected on manipulator 'down' pressure switch.
- close manipulator fingers until fingertip pressure detector detects resistance.
- Raise control arm to index.
- turn motor shaft clockwise an additional 70 pulses of the encoder...
These types of basic motions will vary from one robot to another, and can be grouped together into "routines", allowing the engineer to "call" a specific task rather than program the entire set every time.
Robots do not learn by watching someone perform the task.
Another way that a robot can "learn" a task would be for the engineer to physically move a robot through a specific task, using something like a "joy stick" and instructing the robot to store the moves for later repetition; but in that case, the robot would simply be storing instructions similar to what is described above.
Actually robots r d best 4 humans in d sense they don't fall into wrong hands. Havin a robot can accomplish anything
Now for a more enlightened and intelligent answer:Robots are simply machines that are equipped with computers enabling them to perform specific tasks.A player piano could be considered to be a robot.
Robotic welders are used in the auto industry to make every vehicle identical and to eliminate errors.
Robotic cameras are attached to robotic vehicles to allow us to see into areas that may be too hazardous for humans. Attach a robotic arm and we can move things and see what we're doing in those hazardous conditions.
Ignorance about robots tends to make some people believe that robots are capable of a sentient existence. It is the lack of understanding along with the fantasy of Hollywood motion pictures that causes the ignorant among us to believe that robotics has developed far beyond our current technology.
We still can't make a robot that can walk with anything approaching a human gait.
Believe what you want about robots, but the reality is far less entertaining.
How is geometery used in robotics?
Geometry and in fact, math and physics in general, is used in the calculation of actuator positioning, gear positioning, torque, vector analysis and of course, digital logic is used in the computer controls.
Peter is your robot able to move ITS arms by the remote control?
Yes. A robot is a thing, not a person, so the relevant pronoun is it.
If robots were real how long will they be alive?
Dependent on longevity of their internal components & power sorce.
The first Unimate was installed at a General Motors plant to work with heated die-casting machines. In fact most Unimates were sold to extract die castings from die casting machines and to perform spot welding on auto bodies, both tasks being particularly hateful jobs for people.
What are some advantages of nanorobotics?
As the nanorobot do not generate any harmful activities there is no side effect. It operates at specific site only.
What makes a robot a robot and not just any old machine?
A regular type machine is under the constant control of the person using it, and does nothing on its own initiative. Your car never decides where to go on its own, and neither speeds up nor slows down unless the driver uses the appropriate foot pedals; it turns only when the driver turns the steering wheel. Robots have some degree of autonomy. The have some mechanism that allows them to perceive what is happening in their environment (for example, by means of a camera) and robots can respond in some way according to their programming.
