Robotics

At my school, we have a robotics team, in which we do the following competitions: BEST, VEX, MATE, FRC and more. Basically, robotics is a club in which a bunch of nerds and geeks come together to build a robot, and to have fun and make new friends :)

Here are the websites of the competitions we do:

The word 'robot' was coined by the Czech playwright Karel Capek

(pronounced "chop'ek") from the Czech word for forced labor or serf.

Capek was reportedly several times a candidate for the Nobel prize for

his works and very influential and prolific as a writer and

playwright. Mercifully, he died before the Gestapo got to him for his

anti-Nazi sympathies in 1938.

The use of the word Robot was introduced into his play "R.U.R."

(Rossum's Universal Robots) which opened in Prague in January 1921.

The play was an enormous success and productions soon opened

throughout Europe and the US. R.U.R's theme, in part, was the

dehumanization of man in a technological civilization.

a computer aided design (CAD) system is used to design and model components/objects. Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software is used to talk to the special machines which physically build things like computer numeric controlled (CNC) lathes, milling machines, 3d printers, etc

Doctor Breazeal invented Kismet as part of her doctoral thesis. Since she obtained her doctorate in 2000, and gained her advanced master's degree in 1993, the development of Kismet was in the later 1990's.

The development of social robots is an ongoing science project, so Kismet does not have a specific "birthday." His development was over at least two years, so the closest guestimate of his "birthday" would be between 1995 to 1999.

It's hard to be precise, but the IEEE estimate around 6.5 million.

Without going into several philosophy discussions (which is where this question leads), one distinction of intelligence is the ability to make decisions and associations without being told beforehand what to do. If we could make a robot (or any machine) that can adapt and learn, we would have an intelligent machine. One topic for further consideration is the Turing test.

They clean for you, and help with homework, and maybe they make dinner!

Robotnik is a scientist who enjoys making robots, yes. He isn't as evil as other villains such as Mephiles, however. His goal is to take over the world and doesn't care if people get harmed in the process, but he won't go out of his way to injure/kill people.

There are so many people that are thought to have invented the first robot. Really the first robot was invented by Karel Capek in the year of 1921.

Robots were created to help out with things tough for humans.

No, not quite. The robots I work with though have color sensors, and sonar sensor. Lets say you program it to turn when it sees the black line. The color sensors will let the brick (the controll center of the robot) that it reads a black line, and it will then reply, by stopping one motor, and accelarating the other, thus, making the robot turn. The Sonar sensor is much the same. You program it to turn.... Lets say right, when it comes within 2 feet of something. You program it to go 2 feet, and then check its sensor. So it goes 2 feet, stops, reads sonar, goes 2 feet, stops, reads sonar, and on and on. Then, when it comes within 5 feet of something, The Brick says "Your done. Turn off." and the brick will turn its attention to making the turn. To turn, the right wheel locks, while the left wheel accelerates, thus, making it turn!

If you wanna get really technical, when I was doing robots in college, we used vex. You probably need to look up "Vex Erector Kits" on eBay or something like that. It's hard when you begin, but its a fun hobby that's rapidly changing. I work with a school that works with Lego league robots. Hope this helps!

Well it depends. Most robots will either be clean and new and smell very metallic or have no smell at all. Or you could get an old one that hasn't been cleaned or looked after that will smell of rust and general dirt.

Robots are important because robots perform tasks that would be dangerous and even sometimes impossible for humans to do.

Independent and dependent variables are the variables that change during the course of an experiment. An example might be an experiment on how temperature affects plant growth. Changing the temperature is the independent variable, while the level of plant growth that results is the dependent variable.

According to scientists, George Devol is recognized as the first inventor of the robot in which he named it Unimate in 1954. Eventually, Devol later sold his robot to General Motors in 1961.

There are many different types of robots. Where to find them depends on the type the person is looking for hobby shops are a good start.

The word came into Enflish from the Czech language in 1923, via the English translation of the 1920 play "R.U.R." ("Rossum's Universal Robots"), by Karel Capek (1890-1938), from Czech robotnik "slave," from robota "forced labor, compulsory service, drudgery."

robot making contest

i think that they will you dont ever no but ppl did say that you will die in 2012 look im still here that my awnser

You don't HAVE to, but if you are planning on working in the computer field and want to avoid some of the mistakes made in the field in the past you might want to consider it. Also it can be interesting.

It really depends on what you use it for

Yes they are I have used them in a class and have built a arm that grips items with it so yes they are but expensive but don't forget if you want it to do cool stuff it has to have the nxt and the program to program it

Every where. a vending maching is a robot. This Computer that U are using is a robot no matter if it is a Mac or a vista or a windows or toshiba or a dell or a sony or a lenovo or a i pad or a e pad or a kindle or a phone or...
