FIRST Robots: Aim High by Vince Wilczynski,Stephanie Slezycki,Woodie Flowers Pdf

Personal robots are about as advanced today as personal computers were on the eve of the first IBM PC in the early 1980s. They are still the domain of hobbyists who cobble them together from scratch or from kits, join local clubs to swap code and stage contests, and whose labor of love is setting the stage for a technological revolution. This book will deconstruct the 30 regional winning robot designs from the FIRST Robotics Competition in 2006. The FIRST Robotics Competition (held annually and co-founded by Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers) is a multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. In 2005 the competition reached close to 25,000 people on close to 1,000 teams in 30 competitions. Teams came from Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Israel, Mexico, the U.K., and almost every U.S. state. The competitions are high-tech spectator sporting events that have gained a loyal following because of the high caliber work featured. Each team is paired with a mentor from such companies as Apple, Motorola, or NASA (NASA has sponsored 200 teams in 8 years). This book looks at 30 different robot designs all based on the same chassis, and provides in-depth information on the inspiration and the technology that went into building each of them. Each robot is featured in 6-8 pages providing readers with a solid understanding of how the robot was conceived and built. There are sketches, interim drawings, and process shots for each robot.

Robot Evolution by Mark E. Rosheim Pdf

Lavishly Illustrated, Comprehensive, Detailed, andReader-Friendly--This is the Ultimate Robot Book! From newlydiscovered designs of Leonardo da Vinci to the pioneeringnineteenth-century work of Nikola Tesla, and on to burgeoninganthropomorphic robots, "anthrobots," that are dextrous,communicative, and autonomous, Robot Evolution covers the lengthand ever-widening breadth of this new robotics field. Acknowledgedrobotics expert Mark Rosheim offers at once a fascinating look atmore than 2,000 years of robot history, as well as a technicalguide to their development, design, and component parts. This bookexplores the evolution and increasing complexity of robot designsand points out the advantages and disadvantages of various designapproaches for robot arms, hands, wrists, and legs. By analyzingthe kinematics of robot components in comparison to human limbs,Robot Evolution also introduces a powerful new design tool tomeasure and evaluate past, present, and new designs. This bookfeatures: * Robot survey from ancient Greece to the nineteenth century * Analysis of modern robots from 1950 to the present * Comparative anatomy of human and robot joints * Chapter-by-chapter analysis of robot arms, wrists, hands, andlegs * Evolution of sensors and artificial intelligence * Development of mechanical men from man-amplifiers to amazinganthropomorphic robots--anthrobots!

Visual Sensing and its Applications by Zhongxue Gan,Qing Tang Pdf

“Visual Sensing and its Applications: Integration of Laser Sensors to Industrial Robots” provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of research and development on this robotic vision system. A laser-structured light is the main concern in discussions of visual sensing. Also addressed in this book are all components of the robotic vision system and an emphasis on how to increase the accuracy of the system using three levels of calibration. This includes calibration of the vision system (eye calibration), calibration of eye-to-hand configuration and calibration of robot kinematics (hand calibration). With the integration of the laser sensors to industrial robots numerous applications in the field of robotic welding, grinding, machining, inspection, and palletizing are illustrated based on practical engineering projects in order to demonstrate how the visual sensing is performed. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers in the areas of robotics and machine vision. Dr. Zhongxue Gan is a vice chairman and chief scientist of the ENN Group, China. He serves as a member of the National Energy Expert Consultation Committee of China and member of the National Coal Council of the USA. He is also a co-founder of Intersmart Robotic Systems Co. Ltd., China. He was a research fellow in flexible automation systems at ABB and a founding director of ABB Corporate Research Robot Laboratories, both in the USA and in China. Dr. Qing Tang is a co-founder and CEO of Intersmart Robotic Systems Co. Ltd., China and an adjunct professor in Physics at Sichuan University, China. He was a principle consulting engineer and project manager at the ABB Corporate Research Robot Laboratory in the USA.

Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story by James D. Patalon Pdf

The book had originally been titled THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! It was a very over descriptive novel that in many other opinions was just too graphic and gory! So although that novel had been decided by me to be put on a shelf for future revising, one of its chapters caught my attention. So I removed that particular chapter and began building a new story surrounding that specific idea and long and behold within four months I created my second novel RED EYES! I worked diligently on making sure that the subject matter although a horror story wouldn't upon being published offend anyone. So happy and relieved that the finished novel after several personal revisions was finally what I thought completed. How very wrong was I! The first project somehow decided to find itself added as an extension to the new novel! So once again I had to go in and perform surgery. Now both stories had to be merged to be one novel! So now I began thinking about a new title! Finally I came up with merging both titles into one! RED EYES AND THE HUMAN HORROR STORY! A SPINE -TINGLING ADVENTURE INTO UNKNOWN REALMS... Two men,each facing an unimaginable,inexplicable journey,each must face horrors and promises in an alternate reality that is both surreal and yet oddly familiar. One man suffering from depression,deals with his pain by imagining an easier world...until an accident pushes him into another realm,where he is reunited with a lost love,but also must face zombies and an evil demon. He must face the truth of the comforting illusions he created,but as his dream world becomes more and more compelling and satisfying,what will happen when he has to return to real life? The second man enters an alternate reality by committing suicide,an act that,as he has been warned,will have serious consequences. He is reunited with his soulmate,but they can't stay in the reality they currently inhabit. An adversary that they thought they had destroyed is back,and they must face him again...and,to their horror,they come to learn that they must defeat their demons over and over,as they move to new realms; the price for taking your own life is to be doomed to move continually from one reality to the next. Red Eyes and the Human Horror Story is a thrilling,endlessly inventive exploration of the ways in which imagination shapes our reality...and how reality shapes our dream worlds.
