What is the importance of rcx robot?
Robots in antiquity and through the Middle Ages were used primarily for entertainment. However, the 20th century featured a boom in the development of industrial robots. Through the rest of the century, robots changed the structure of society and allowed for safer conditions for labor. In addition, the implementation of advanced robotics in the military and NASA has changed the landscape of national defense and space exploration. Robots have also been influential in the media and profitable for toy manufacturers.
- HistorySignificance
- Robots began as entertainment for royalty. Inventors such as Al-Jazari and Leonardo Da Vinci worked to build automatons for their benefactors. Al-Jazari built a floating band that resembled humans and performed various songs and drum beats depending on the programming of a series of pegs. Da Vinci created a automaton based on the knight's armor. It could stand and move its arms and neck, as well as open its mouth.
It wasn't until 1961--when an inventor named George Devol installed his robot, Unimate, into a General Motors factory in Trenton, New Jersey--that the first modern industrial use of the robot was attempted. Unimate would lift die-cut metal pieces and stack them for the human workers. This development changed the dynamics of robotics and brought them into the workplace, making them pivotal to a business.
Features - Industry has benefited drastically from the expanse of a robotic work force. Automated machines have taken over the duties of dangerous and mundane jobs from humans, allowing greater productivity. Because robots never tire, extra shifts have been added to factories. Farmers have taken advantage of new technology with automated harvesters, the waste disposal industry has implemented robots in some of its dirtier jobs, and the medical industry benefits from advancements in assisted surgical robotics.
The idea of a factory with no human workers has come to fruition. IBM runs a "lights off" factory in Texas completely staffed by fully autonomous robots making keyboards.
The military has launched various programs in robotic technology, most successfully the Predator and Reaper unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicles that allow a pilot to control the robot from vast distances. The vehicles can do high-altitude surveillance for long periods without having to support a live pilot, and when needed the planes can launch small strikes on targets in zones that normal aircraft cannot operate.
Considerations - Robots' main position in society are in a capacity to assist humans by taking on the jobs that are dirty, dull or dangerous. Beyond the factory floor, robots have been instrumental in space exploration and performing other tasks that would be impossible for humans to accomplish. The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity lasted years longer than NASA predicted and stayed on the mission far past the time any manned mission could have functioned. The Deep Impact probe that crashed into a comet literally functioned at a capacity impossible for humans.
The Chernobyl meltdown site contains radiation levels that would kill any human. As such, the Pioneer robot was developed to enter the remains of the facility to address structural stability. Also, the Dante II was utilized to enter volcanic eruptions, which are impossible for humans to investigate.
Misconceptions - Robots have had a long importance in the media, between our fascination with real-life robotics and their fictional counterparts. The first instance of a robot in a film was in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis." It introduced the concept of a functioning automaton programmed to act as a human. Robots appeared frequently over the course of the next century in films such as "Forbidden Planet" and television programs like "Star Trek." Probably the most famous duo of robots ever are C-3PO and R2-D2 from the "Star Wars" films. The characters brought a humanistic attitude to the previously dry image of robots. In modern cinema, robots have portrayed heroes and villains, both elaborately sophisticated and starkly simplistic. The machines featured in "The Terminator" have long held a scary yet fascinating influence over the culture of robotics.
- Modern robotics are present everywhere in society, from a DVD burner in a computer to the microwave in most American kitchens. The invention of the microprocessor in 1971 caused the computerization of virtually every appliance and tool the modern home uses. Toasters and stoves utilize microprocessors that control sensors to reduce the likelihood of fires, while cellular phones implement virtual memory to enhance interaction.
Most toy stores now feature hundreds of robots for educational and entertainment use. With the introduction of the "Furby" in the late 1990s, robots with limited artificial intelligence become a boon for the marketplace, generating vast amounts of revenue in simple consumer-ready robotics.
What type of technology use in robots?
The study of robots and underlying technologies is known as 'robotics'. 'Engineering' could be considered the general 'method' of robotics, but if the question refers to artificial intelligence, 'Programming' is more appropriate.
Should teachers be replaced by robots?
It would be improbable, since robots are not nearly advanced enough to cope with the needs of 30 odd pubescent school children. Heck, I doubt many teachers are unprepared in that category to, I know I am.
you have to complete level 10 where you get the correct weapon to do it the n go back :/
Advantages of human workers to robots?
Human can make intelligent decisions at the occurrence of a "non-routine" event.
How come your RC truck won't turn left or Move backwards?
the drive shafts or transmission may be bad.
What is the value of Remco 1970 Mister Brain Tru-Smoke Robot?
The vintage robot that is made by Remco varies in price, I have seen it on E-bay for $100 dollars and up, I have also seen it on aucton websites for as little as $20 dollars. The most exspensive buy would be at a toy show where someone was asking $2900 dollars.I remember this toy as a child given to me and my brother at Christmas time, it brings back very good memories.
How do you construct a robot design and program it?
That's a big question and one that won't get answered fully here. There is no point in oing to a lot of detail because there will always be big parts of the project that won't get covered. Here are some headings that separate out a few of the main tasks. Most robots are too big for one person to develop, so it's worth finding friends who are interested and have some of the skills that will be needed.
Elements of robot design and build:
Identify what you want it to do. Walking, rolling, lifting, carrying etc
Design the mechanics for movement and for other tasks such as lifting
Select motor types and sizes to generate the movement
Design the electrical power supply
Select a micro-processor that will do everything required of it
Design the electronic control circuitry to incorporate the controller
Program it
Test it
Each of the tasks needs plenty of time and effort. If it's a first attempt, keep it simple and look out for someone who has built something similar in the past. Their experience will be really useful. Seek out a forum so you can get online support from other experts.
The last bit of advice - keep working at it. It will take a long time but don't give up.
==============================================
Step One: Learn Programming. (Hint: HTML and JavaScript probably won't cut it.)

What is advantages and disadvantages of robotic technology?
if we cannot able to stop it and it will be an environmental problem
Another perspective:Robots are simply machines that have the ability to perform specific tasks. Robots are typically controlled by a computer or collection of computers. The robot can only perform those tasks for which they have been programmed.As of yet, there is no evidence that we will ever be able to create a computer that is capable of ever becoming a sentient entity. That being the case, the computer will always perform the specific tasks for which they have been programmed and will NEVER become autonomous, and the robots that they control will continue to perform a set of tasks that are clearly delineated.
As with any new technology, there will always be those who fear change. The attitudes of the ignorant and fearful will always be a threat to true progress.
What are the Advantages of self healing robots?
Advantages of self healing robots are:
1. Recover from minor damages
2. Low maintenance cost
3. Adjustable to the environment
Robots have many different uses. Robots originated in Japan. There are some human and animal robots. There are robots in existence that can sneeze, talk, walk, and express emotions. For example, there is a robot in Japan that is a practice robot for dentists, she talks with the dentists about her condition and can express any pain. There are therapeutic robots that can help calm patients this is similar to Animal Assisted Therapy. And also a animal robot that can help children have less pressure when reading. There are also search- and- rescue robots, that can carry nearly 1 ton of rubbish. This is what robots are used for.

What accident in 1986 demonstrated a clear need for a robot to go where humans couldnt?
The failure of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in 1986 resulted in radiation levels which were far too high for human workers, so robotic/remote controlled machines were used to shut down the reactor.
While there are still needs for remote controlled robotic machines inside the core of nuclear reactors, the reactors used in the United States are built to a much higher safety standard.
What are the names of the house robots in robot wars?
When the series first started their were only four House Robots, they were called Matilda, Shunt, Sergeant Bash and Dead Metal. In series two, two more House Robots were introduced called Sir Killalot and The Sentinel. When seires three started the Guantlet game was scraped and The Sentinel along with it. In series four Refbot was introduced to untangle competitors that got stuck together, a job previously done by the other House Robots which caused confusion to the public, Refbot could also put out fires. In series six two more House Robots were introduced, a man and his dog, Mr Psycho and Growler. in the final series there was a new House Robot introduced called Cassius Chrome. Behind the sence there was another House Robot called Shove which would retreive immobile robots from the arena. When the show contined as a live tour called Roaming Robots (which now owns to right to Robot Wars and the House Robots) they built their own House Robot called Major Damage.
So to recap, the House Robots are:
Matilda
Shunt
Sergeant Bash
Dead Metal
Sir Killalot
The Sentinel
Refbot
Mr Psycho
Growler
Cassius Chrome
Shove
Major Damage
How did they make the first robot?
They made the first robot by putting a whole much of metal together so the robot would look like a human. so as they did that as the robot became more in the history like today they made them look more life like.
