Robotics

One definition of robot is "artificial agent" (a better definition and more uses are 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). 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.

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.

They will make all the humans lazy and they probably will invade mankind. I don't know if they will start a war though.

everything they kill other people like harry pavvit

it was wooden

surge

Bumblebee

An under watter robot is a robot that is watter resistant and is sent down to do a job that people can't do.

Yes

it will be different because there will be robots and a whole lot more in the future

Mario Luiz Robotio invented Robots in 1923, the first robot he invented was MLR-142 he made 6 of them and sold them 100 euros. MLR took 13 years to build and it took 309 engineers and 120 builders. MLR was probably the most unbelievable thing the world had seen. Mario got so rich from selling all his robots he made a company called, MRC. It was the most successful business the 20th Century had ever seen. On 16th November 1966 Mario Died of Lung Cancer. But since he had no children or a wife, the company died with him. Buried next to him in Rome Grand Cemetry is the 1st ever robot, the 1st ever MLR-142. Mario would have been 100 years old 1st January 2007.

There is no real need for robots. However, they do make many people's lives easier, and have enabled humans to do things they never could have done without robots.

There is not a way yet to make a robot that is entirely self-aware, but scientists are getting close to that sort of thing with robots that can work out how to fix themselves and can learn from experience not to do certain tasks because they cause self harm or put someone/thing else in danger.

Many robots are sad, often for a number of reasons, many of them lack the ability to feel human emotions so will to the general public appear rather melencholy. Those that do have human emotions often cannot express them fully as the mechanics of the human face have only just been applied to robots. hope this helps

The ones I make out of junk are usually under $5 US (not including time and labor), and many starter kits are under $10 US. If you want one of the slick looking ones I haven't seem them for less that $150 US. The really cool ones like Bioloid or Lego NXT are over $1K US. If you mean how much to tool up and manufacture a run of a product line, start at $100K US.

The term "once-through boiler" refers to a special type of water-tube boiler composed oftubes, in which water is input at the bottom, and steam is produced from the top.

it is made with metal. And toy robots are made with plastic and mabe a little bit of metal!!

I will guess: bearings. the more fluid the motion, the less friction. or the joint could be a silicon soft plastic type that flex and allow fluid like motion while maintaining strength.

in the year 1961

the original one could cost you a million dollars, and the second hand could cost u a half. so why need to buy a new one if you could save a half million?

To reduce work and make things more simple, and for sources of knowledge.

The character ET was not a robot, but he was a little too alien for us to call him a person. Eliot would probably disagree, and ET's co-workers probably called him something that would translate to "person".
