How did the robot get its name?
a short history of the robot is in the link below. Literary credit goes to the Czech writer Karel Capek.
What are some problems with robots?
you can't trust them because they might turn on you like in the movie i,robot
Mostly metal, sometimes plastic and sometimes rubber+metal or rubber+plastic. Sometimes all 3.
they repair them selves, they can make them selves, learn and can make choices.
What does a robot programmer do?
A programmer basically tells the robot what to do, in basic terms. They tell the robot what to do when say a joystick is turned, or if there isn't a joystick, they tell it what to do on its own. They write lines upon lines upon lines of code, and they can be very complicated, but I've heard that once you get used to it it's very fun.
Mechanical robots do not grow in the biological sense of the word but they are currently able to self modify. Experiments have taken place using modular robots which will connect together to form a more complex machine in response to external stimulus and situations. If this could be termed growing then yes it's possible.
There is also experimentation in biological like polymer muscle like tissues which can be instructed to flex, grow and contract which are being used to simulate biological movement. These tissues give a more human like movement which differs from the jerky movement provided by mechanical means.
Its not growth in the true meaning of the word but scientists are moving along that path with a self replicating robot being the goal.
What could the first robot do?
it put hot door handles on cars at gm in 1961. go to www.capitalcentury.com/1961.html.
What are disadvantages of robots in war?
1. Your robot can forget who sent it (the enemy will give it all the help it can).
2. It is not good to have a 100 Megawatt of robot and 1 Gigawatt of enemies.
3. The robot can shoot up the wrong guys- like civilians.
4. The robot can shoot up chaff- thinking it is the enemy. (Everybody likes this- until it's their robot.)
5. After you have bought your army a robot, there is no money left to pay for their beer (robots are expensive.)
6. When the enemy sees your robot, they will get the idea to build their own. (Everybody thinks its fun- until somebody does it to them.)
7. Forgetting your email password: No big deal! Forgetting military robot password? Last mistake, ever!
When and where was the word robot first used?
The word "robot" derives from Czech "robota"meaning servitude forced labor, which derives form the Czech "rab" which means slave."
It was first used in a play called "R.U.R." or "Rossum's Universal Robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek.
However, literary credit is usually assigned (incorrectly) to the Czech Isaac Asimov who wrote "Runaround", a story about robots which contained the "Three Laws of Robotics".
A short history for the use of the word is in the link below.
Where you can find bootloader for AT89S51?
There is no bootloader available for at89s51(atmel version of 8051)....bcos of absence of bootloader section in at8s51....but u can always use bootloader if u have p89vrs51...this is also an 8051 based controller but it has a bootloader section in it....
How do you become a robotics technician?
George Brown College offers an online Robotics Technician program. The website for this program is www.onlinerobotics.com. The program consists of 14 modules and uses a robotics simulator called RoboLogix, which allows you to write your own robotics programs and run them using a 3D simulator in a realistic industrial environment. It is a great program.
In recent time robots are used for a variety of tasks. Therefore, robotics technicians perform the different types of duties depending upon application and types of work. Generally to become a robotics technician associate degree in robotics is required.
Which person used the word robot first?
The term "robot" was first used in a play called "R.U.R." or "Rossum's Universal Robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek.
Most people say"NO we dont", but what about the disabled?? So that'll be a yes.....Its according to what people of today need.
What was the name of the first modern robot?
what was the name of the FIRST modern robot ? what was the name of the FIRST modern robot ?
Almost anything. One definition of robot is "artificial agent" (a better definition is in the link below). Artificial just means someone made it, agent means it does something for someone (my favorite robot is the dishwasher - someone built it to wash dishes for me). Many people assume "agency" includes the ability to act by itself (autonomy), or at least look like it can. These days most of the really popular robots are exploring places people can't go yet (Voyager left the solar system not too long ago, Spirit and Opportunity are still running around Mars) and doing things too dangerous for humans to do safely (like hunting for roadside bombs in war zones or searching the bottom of the ocean). I used to work with a parts placer in an electronics assembly plant, it took very small parts from reels and bins and placed them on circuit boards. Some car manufacturers use big industrial robots for welding and lifting cars and trucks. Nanotechnology is finally catching on, with motors and wheels the size of atoms. I have seen pictures of remote control robots for doing surgery from somewhere outside the hospital, like from another country. Anything you can build to do something for you is basically a robot.
Mechanically, I'ld have to give that one to the Chinese although more artifacts are being uncovered that make it a tight race between them and India, the Iraq area and Greece. A short history of robots is in the link below. Literary credit goes to the Czech writer Karel Capek.
What can robots do to help humans with?
Robots can help humans in any way! In the home, business, factories, and can do the most dangerous jobs that humans cant even do!
