The MUSES-CN nanorover will be the smallest rover ever to fly on a space mission. (MUSES stands for the Mu Space Engineering Spacecraft–which is being built by the Japanese Institute of Space and Astronautical Science–C means it is the third in a series, and N stands for NASA’s part in it, which is to build [...]

By Eric Morris Medical robots are one of the most helpful applications of robots. They are used in various medical practices, including difficult and precise surgical procedures. They are also used to assist patients in recovery and in the performance of routine tasks for patient care. Medical robots have computer-integrated technology and are comprised of complicated programming [...]

By Eric Morris Welding robots are used in industrial welding processes and facilitate automatic welding. Welding robots work on the principle of robotics and are controlled by robotic equipment. They work on the algorithm, which is required for the computation of work command. Welding robots are designed so that they can operate under various conditions at [...]

By Will J Turner Robotics, put simply, is the use of electrical components to move mechanical components. The key components of robots are their ability to perform repetitive tasks in a precise manner. There are many example of robotics use today, in toys and industry. Their function determines their appearance. For example, a robot that was designed [...]

By Bob Jonathan SLOPE INDICATOR A slope indicator is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope  (or tilt), elevation or inclination of an object with respect to gravity. Also  known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope meter, slope gauge, gradient  meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, pitch & roll indicator. KINDS  OF SLOPE INDICATOR Slope indicators  are [...]

By Bob Jonathan WHAT IS AN INCLINOMETER  AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Also  known as Tilt meter or Tilt sensor, the Inclinometer is a tool used for  measuring angular tilt. Inclinometers are used for sensing movements, whether  it’s embedded in concrete structures, attached to a dam, buried down a tunnel  or even for monitoring the volcanoes the [...]

By Bob Jonathan WHAT IS AN ACCELEROMETER? An accelerometer is an instrument for measuring acceleration, detecting and measuring vibrations, or for measuring acceleration due to gravity (inclination). Accelerometers can be used to measure vibration on vehicles, machines, buildings, process control systems and safety installations. They can also be used to measure seismic activity, inclination, machine vibration, dynamic [...]

By Lance Winslow In the future thru life extension we will be able to choose when we die. There will be miracle drugs, Super Vitamin C and replacement parts such as artificial limbs, hearts, lungs and the latest and greatest robotics. Will be choose to remain 100% human or extend life thru robotic parts, merging with [...]

By Eric Morris Military robots are remote-controlled devices designed for military applications. Military robots work on military robotics such as AGV, UGV, TMR, MOUNT, RECON, Intruder, Ranger, and FCS. There are also many other systems that are being researched by the United States. Military robots provide alternatives for dangerous tasks that soldiers perform in the line [...]

By Eric Morris Assembly robots are among the most sophisticated equipment on the manufacturing floor. They are designed in such a way that they can manufacture each product component and the final product in sequence. They replace the manual method of production with automation. Assembly robots comprise complicated programming languages, controllers, and advanced sensors. They possess a [...]
