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.

Why do robots have no place in a laboratory?
Not so. There are common laboratory instruments that have robotics built in, for repetitive handling of vials or samples, or for automated mechanical or optical assistance for the human technician. In the lab, the precision and consistancy of robotic devices can help to deliver more accurate, reliable results in repetitive tests. However, in labs where experimental work is the norm, and established procedures are rare, robots are less useful.
How do robots learn to do things?
Robots learn to do things either by replicating tasks done by humans or their motions are specifically planned by a human operator.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of cartesian tye robotic configeration?
explain advantages and disadvantages of the cylindrical robot
What are robots that look like humans called?
The Robot that look like a human are called Android Robot.
A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electromechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.
The word "robot" comes from a Slavic term meaning "work" or "labor" and is related to the work of serfs in feudal times. So the major application of the term is to machines that do work, or metaphorically to people who work in the manner of an automaton, without personal concern or judgment.
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.
Stationary Robots. These are robot that are fixed in position. They tend to have robot arms that can move about. The diagram below shows a large-scale stationary robot arm. It has mobile joints called 'the wrist', 'the elbow', 'the waist' and 'the shoulder'.
What task does exploratory robot perform?
it does many tasks that can be performed that people cant perform, they arent robots that hop and roll, they dont have to.
What are the pros and cons of having a robot teacher?
Well, the main con of this idea would be that the robot teacher would take many thousands of peoples jobs, also:
- The kids would act like if it was a big joke and they would not listen.
- The robot might hurt somebody.
- Something might be wrong with the robots program and it might crash, it might take long time till it get's replaced and the students might lose a lesson.
- Some of the kids that need extra help might not get it, because a robot does not have a heart.
- Kids might also break the robot, it costs money.
- Battery charging costs, (electricity)
- The government will lose much money if they decide to replace teachers with 6.2 million robots that cost like 300 000 dollars each.
Now the pros would be that:
- When the robot would grade work a student had done, she or he will get the grade she or he deserves.
- Everybody would be treated the same and nobody would feel like they are treated less well than the other students.
- You would not need to pay the robots.
- You can tell the robot what it exactly should teach the kids

Are robots more helpful or harmful?
I think Robots are helpful because they help carry heavy things for the army, and help firefighters put out fires. Robots have one thing in common, they all help humans. Robots can also help find people after an earthquake or a tornado. Robots help people carry things. My opinion is that robots are helpful
What is the purpose of control panel?
to allow users to view and manipulate basic system settings and controls
How do robots learn about the world around them?
Robots do not, technically, "Learn" anything. However some, with more elaborate computer programming may appear to learn if the programmer used something called, "heuristic" programming techniques.
What was the robotic vehicle Opportunity designed to do?
determine the chemical composition of rocks and soil on Mars
It is a pity you cannot have drawings in the answers.
To understand pneumatic leverage, imagine you have two bicycle pumps to pump up the tires of your bicycle. One has a piston with a surface area of 4cm2 (square centimeters) and the other has a piston with a surface area of 8cm2. You connect them together. This means that if you pump one you will see the piston moving of the other.
When you push the piston of the small pump with a force of let's say 100 Newton (roughly 22 lbs) and block the piston of the big pump: With what force you have to block the piston of the big pump?
You push with a force of 100 Newton (about 22 lbs for the Americans) on the small piston, which will result in a pressure in the system of 100 Newton divided by 4cm2 or 25 Newton per cm2 (pressure). This pressure will be equal under the piston of the connected big pump. So what is the force necessary to block the piston of the big pump? The piston of the big pump has a surface area of 8cm2 this we multiply that with the pressure of 25 Newton/cm2 which results in the force needed to block the big pump of 200 Newton.
By applying 100 Newton of force you can, through pneumatic leverage, create a force of 200 Newton.
The leverage depends on the differences of surface area of the two pistons.
This is the principle of pneumatic leverage. To understand this you have to distinguish between Force and Pressure.
Force is expressed in Newtonor Lbs or Kgetc.
Pressure is expressed in: Force per surface unit. Like Newton/cm2 or lbs/square inch or Kg per m2.
What classifies a robot as a robot?
If a machine has been programed to perform a specific task then it is a robot.
How do you turn the volume off on robot unicorn attack?
You can't. All you can do is turn off the volume on your electronic device.
What is main differences between real time processing and real time process control?
1. Ask on Yahoo answers. This site is pretty much dead.
The difference between them is that in real time processing, we know what output we'll get with a specific input. But in real time process control, sensors are used alongwith feedback loop i.e the output can effect the next input to the system.
Where and how are robotics used for scientific exploration?
Robots are used everywhere. They can dive deep in the sea where humans cannot go or on dangerous missions that endanger human lives
What are the key components to every robot?
5 major components to every robot :
which are a body structure, a muscle system to move the body structure, a sensory system that recieves information
What is the name of the robots on WALL-E?
One I know is called shade another one is called eve another is go-4 the one that had a red light on his head and one was called m-o and there was a robot called auto and another was called drink bot those are the bots I know (if don't believe me then go and type the names on YouTube) :P
Companies,organizations etc many places like Ford, Wendys and NASA. Microsoft and computer companies.
