The aftermath of an earthquake impinges rescue operations. With collapsed building debris everywhere, rescue operations become dangerous and slow. Worse, people might get trapped in hard to reach places because of the debris. The debris makes it difficult for rescue workers to contact them or send aid supplies to them. At times, reduce the flow of oxygen to where they are. This is usually a challenging operation for rescue workers. However, with the aid of a snake-like robot called Guardian S. Developed by Sarcos, the robot is perfect for hazardous conditions that require getting a reading of the environs before sending a rescue team in. It also provides real-time information about high-risk rescue attempts to the control room and the rescuers. With this, rescuers can strategize the next line of action.
This study found that the group of seniors that interacted with Paro became less lonely. This wasn’t the case with the second group. The other group of seniors that participated in other interactive activities away from the retirement home became lonelier. Also, a living dog was brought to the home every day so that the seniors can interact with it. It was observed that these seniors were more interactive when it came to Paro as compared to the living dog. See even more information on this post.
Each of these events is a carnival where you’d feel right at home, with people who share the same interests as you. You would get a chance to interact and learn from your superiors and those who call the shots in the robotics industry. With that being said, it is essential that you take part in some of these, especially if you are a tech-geek. For the tech-savvy, these events are a dream come true. While we are preparing for those, do you, by any chance know any other conferences or events which will take place next year and which we failed to mention here? We are sure that there are plenty of those and we cannot wait to hear about them – leave the comment below!
Does Robotics Still Have The WOW Factor? It certainly does. Sit back, relax, open up your mind, and get ready to witness technological fireworks! Because today we will have a glimpse at some of the most amazing robots technological advancements, human creativity and perseverance have made possible to achieve. When hearing the word robotics, most of us instinctively think about flying cars and amazing cyborgs that only Schwarzenegger would be fit to embody. And we are not that far from the truth. But, before we get to the ‘cool stuff’, we should take a quick look at what robotics and robots are. More information at this post.
Steel is strong and heavy, which means it is difficult to shape and carry in large parts. However, steel can be also formed into thin sheets. You may see that vehicles are protected by their steel exterior, which can also be applied in robotics. Those sheets can be formed into tubes, which can be also made as robot frames. Known for its flexibility, rubber can absorb shock while handling delicate products. For your robot, you may consider covering up both the hard and sensitive parts with rubber. It is also reliable when you want your robot to be sociable with humans. This soft material, however, is also suitable to use in extreme environments. Rubber has high resistance to some elements especially liquids. To enable your robot to go underwater; consider sealing it with rubbery materials. Since the rubber doesn’t rust, it can handle some acids too. With all that being said, rubber is a great material to consider for your robot – its use might be limited, but it can certainly come in handy.
Alex Shikany, the Vice President of Membership and Business Intelligence for the Association of Advancing Automation, who reacted to the statistics made available, in his chat with The Robot Report, said that a conclusion cannot be reached because the data made available are yet to be established.
As more data is collected, the decisions of these systems will improve. The end result will be a level of efficiency that we once didn’t think possible. The digital connection of these devices make Industry 4.0 a possibility. In each stage of these industrial revolutions, companies have had to keep up with technology or be left behind. Connected technology will be the next revolution that companies will have to follow. If they don’t, their level of production will be less than their rivals.
