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.
Unless you are talking about a video game (which is a different question), it's not likely. One important part of the definition of a robot is "artificial". If there are natural biologic components (like a brain), that gets into cybernetics, which is also a different question.
The Dance: What you want to do with that is sink in your shoulders. Take your shoulders and drive them down towards the ground. You'll start to feel a little tightening in your lats, in your muscles on the side, your obliques, that sort of area, keep doing that, that's the first part of doing the robot. The second thing is having your stop and start points within the music. Start moving one way and stop abruptly. Start moving another way and stop abruptly. The third point to doing the robot is freezing in that position o'kay? So now you have your grounding, you have your start and stop and now it's just freezing in that position. When you freeze I mean literally freeze on a dime, you don't want to move, stop right there and hold it and then move to the next position and hold it. Even if it's an animated face you want to just hold it right there and that is how you do the robot. Now we're going to get a chance to see it in action. So once again I am showing you your basic steps on doing the robot, being grounded, having your start stop points and freezing in position.
no. It is just a machine controlled by humans, unless it's orogrammed to do something.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of military robots?
everything they kill other people like harry pavvit
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.
An under watter robot is a robot that is watter resistant and is sent down to do a job that people can't do.
How will life be different in twenty years?
it will be different because there will be robots and a whole lot more in the future
What did the robot say to the centipede?
Stop being a centipede!! See it's funny cause the robot ain't got no arms.
I don't get it can someone explain :S
Answer to the 'I don't get it' questionWell the robot didn't have any arms. So therefore the centipede should stop being a centipede, because the centipede was talking to the robot.The robot said "SHUTUP AND GIVE ME MY LITHUANIAN HUNCHBACK CAMEL QUARTERS, CLARISSA-MARINE."
You see, because the robot was wearing a tophat, and the centipede was a super Mario ice cream book.
-B.
It doesn't make sense because there are arm movements. When you tell the joke you move your arms up and down. That's why its funny. Because if the robot didn't have arms it cant do the arm movements. Its dumb... but that's why its funny.
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.
How do you make a giant robot that is self thinking?
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
How much money does it cost to make a robot?
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.
it is made with metal. And toy robots are made with plastic and mabe a little bit of metal!!
What is the meaning of once through boiler?
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.
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.
Actually, a number of kinds of robots do exist. Industrial robots exist in manufacturing. The kind we have seen in science fiction movies, like C3PO in Star Wars, which look like metallic people and have human as well as super-human capabilities are called humanoid robots. The Honda ASIMO is probably the most popular humanoid robot at this point. As far as the lack of humanoid robots throughout society, the simple answer is, the technology is still being developed. It takes a lot of research to build something like that.
One of the biggest roadblocks to having one of these humanoid robots walking around or in your home is probably the lack of marketability because they aren't smart enough yet. In order for a humanoid robot to do a variety of tasks, and do them like humans do, it must have a very advanced artificial intelligence.
That said, the development of a really good humanoid robot is the product of artificial intelligence, so we should probably be asking the question, "How good is artificial intelligence, and why isn't it better yet?"
How much would a Cartesian robot cost approximately?
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?
