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.

How do you program a mindstorm?
Either use the software that comes with it, or search google.

Isaac Asimov what rules did he say engineers should follow in building robots?
According to Asimov, the 3 laws that should govern all robotics were:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Later on he added a Law Zero: A robot must not harm humanity, or through inaction, allow Humanity to come to harm. The First Law then had an exclusionary phrase added, the idea being that a robot could then harm a human being, if they represented a danger to humanity.
Yes in the movie jaws was a robot but the tiger shark they caught after the kittner boy was dead was a real shark caught of the beach of flordia.
hope that answers your question:)
What functions do robots perform in society?
a robot woke you up this morning. a robot made your coffee. a robot got you to work and back. you're typing on a robot right now.

Actually, robots are not yet like the sci-fi robots, but they are useful in industry to do
repetitive processes in assembly lines such are make welds. You can buy what is called a robot vacuum cleaner that will run over your floor, change direction when it hits something or is about to fall down the stairs.
Besides this, robots may be used in enterntainment. For example, there was invented RoboFisher and this robot allows to catch fish from the distance. The robot is placed on the bank of a lake and you can control the fishing robot from your mobile device or computer. At the end of the fishing session the fish is released back in the water.
Recent trends in mechatronics?
Mechatronics is a technology feild created by the marriage of mechanically operated equipment and electronically controlled equipment (computer controls) in manufacturing. The introduction of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machinery in the 1970's and the introduction of robot controlled equipment in the late 1980's to the late 1990's is what created mechatronics. The last link in the chain was the introduction of Programmable Logic Contols (PLC) in the mid to late 1990's. By joining all three of these technologies together, manufacturing from raw materials to finished and assembled product was possible through automation with minimal human in process labor.
How did Metropolis depict robots?
In the 1927 film Metropolis robots/machines were portrayed as useful until their purpose of serving humanity is corrupted by those who the machines were designed to serve . Rotwang had caused the Maria robot to serve his own nefarious designs to destroy Freder along with his father Joh Fredersen by having the Maria robot incite rebellion among the workers .
What is the use of robotics in automobile?
I worked for in Robotics for three years. The robotic arms were used in many industries including automobile manufacture. Ie welding of sub frames and paint spraying.
It depends on what you're calling a robot.
Technically, robotic devices in use today are controlled by specialized computers which are little more than the computer on your desk at home, but they DO have a few specialized inputs and outputs, called "discrete I/O". Those I/O points allow robotic control computers to detect events and set outputs. Some of the more elaborate computer programs have shape recognition software that allows the computer to use television cameras to determine what outputs to set. The outputs cause motors, solenoids and other robotic equipment to operate.
Some of the control computers also have voice recognition software which allows the computer to recognize basic commands.
Neither voice nor optical recognition has reached the point of being terribly accurate.
The idea of a "sentient" computer is still a long way off, so any comparison between a robotic control computer and a human brain is invalid at this time.
What was the robots names on mercury?
There has been only one space probe which [crash] landed on Mercury, and that was Messenger.
Robot sensors detect different things and send different amounts of electricity to the Robot's controller board to tell their findings. Then the controller board uses these different amounts of electricity to interact with its surroundings.
Example:
Lets say you have a robot that is made to follow light. Lets say your robot has 3 light sensors. One in the front of your robot one on the right and one on the left side. The sensors will detect how much light is on the front, right, and left sides and send this data to the controller board. Then the controller board uses this data to tell the robot with direction to go.
In the movie iRobot, no. His character was more of a mechanically enhanced human.
What other industries use robotics besides the auto industry and for what purpose?
Robots are generally used for jobs which are either too repetitive and require no special skill or for jobs where the environment is not safe for human operation,typically jobs like welding, moulding etc... Therefore they find application in industries like Foundry & Forging, Metal Fabrication, Plastics, Packaging & Palletizing, Oil & Gas, Minining, etc.
What license does an electronic technician need?
There are NO licensing requirements for technicians, only electricians. Some employers prefer certified technicians, but there are no legal requirements for certification.
Where are robots commonly found?
Today, Robots are literally everywhere - Manufacturing, Medicine, Research, Retail, Warehousing, Shipping, Design, Defense and Art. Robots are rapidly growing and this development is considered to be just a start!
Was iPhone 4 designed to invoke 2001 Space Space Odyssey monolith but with different dimensions?
Apple did not manufacture the iPhone 4, it is a gift from Europa. Use them together use them in peace.
How do you convert low frequency to high frequency with a circuit?
You typically create a DC power supply from the low frequency, and use that to run a high frequency oscillator and amplifier. If there needs to be a relationship between frequency in and frequency out, often there is a divider running on the high frequency side in combination with a phase locked loop synching up to the low frequency side.
How do you know if someone is a robot and how would one destroy said robot?
What kind of a question is that?!?
What is the best robotics kit to use at a undergraduate college level?
PICAXE is a fairly good system. The programming language is not the most efficient, but it will allow you to put quite interesting things together quickly and start experimenting, without wasting time on selection of components, etc.
What material does a 3D Printer use to make objects?
Some of the materials that a 3D printer uses to make objects include plastics, resins and metals.
How do you make underwater robotics?
you can coat whatever it is your building with spray on plastic or any that layers your robot. this stops the water from seeping into your robot, which will destory it. good luck :D
give me trust point? (:
How many flexible joints do robot cars have?
The same number as a car driven by a person. The precise number would depend on the make and model of the car.
What circumstances might robots replace humans in space exploration?
If the heveanly body was dangerous or distant.
