Build Your Robots Androids and Animatrons

Description :

         Robot are indispensable in many manufacturing industries. the reason is that the cost per hour to operate a robot is a fraction of the cost of the human labor needed to perform the same function. more than this, once programmed, robots repeatedly perform functions with a high accuracy that supasses that of the most experimenced human operator. human operators are, however, far more versatile. humans can swicth job tasks easily. robots are built and programmed to be job specific.

Robot Behaviour Design, Description, Analysis and Modelling

Description :

       Since the publication of Scientific Methods in Mobile Robotics in 2006, we have gained substantially in our understanding of the factors that govern the interaction of a robot with its environment; we have extended our methods of modelling robot behaviour accurately and transparently; and we have applied these methods to a wide range of real-world robotic applications. Many aspects of Scientific Methods and the material presented in this book have become part of regular teaching and research practice in robotics laboratories worldwide. Undergraduate and postgraduate courses on experimental design and procedure in robotics, precise, quantitative description and analysis of behaviour, computer modelling of robot behaviour, and analysis.

Technology and Robot Brains

Description :

          This book considers the engineering aspects of nonnumeric cognitive and potentially conscious machines and should be of interest to anyone who wishes to consider the actual realization of these machines and robots. The principles are presented with the aim of producing dedicated circuits and systems, but obviously everything can be simulated; those who prefer programmed simulations should find it rather easy to implement these principles in the way of computer programs.Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought chess-playing computer programs that can beat grand masters and other ‘intelligent’ programs that can execute given specific tasks.

robotic A Reference Guide to the New Technology

Description :

         Human beings have always been fascinated with the concept of artificial life and the construction of machines that look and behave like people. The legend of Pygmalion and the medieval legend of the Golem are examples. Nowhere is the concept of making a living thing out of spare parts more dramatic and exciting than in Mary Shelley’s famous story Dr. Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus (1818). This story has been told and retold in various motion pictures and television shows throughout the twentieth century. Today, whenever people take the time to discuss and extrapolate the evolution of smart machines, their conversations usually include the possible rise of self-aware, intelligent robots that threaten to destroy their human masters.

Build Remote Controlled Robot

Description :

One of the first questions you will have to answer when you say you have your own robot is, “What does it do?” If your answer (as mine) is, “It rolls around by remote control and serves drinks” disappoints the questioner, don’t be offended. It simply means that the person asking the question knows little about the real world of robotics, the science of robots. Before you can attempt to explain your answer to the uninformed asker, you must know a little about the subject of robots. Ask yourself, “What is a robot?” The word robot comes from the Czech word Robota, which means obligatory work or servitude. The word robot was first used in a Czech play called R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karl Capek. Written in 1921, the play depicts a race of humanoid robots that turn on their masters and destroy them,

Build and Design Your Own Robot at Robot Builder's CookBook

Description :

         This is a book of practical robotics written for beginners but also catering for those who have progressed a little further beyond that stage. It describes the mechanics of robot construction, how to build the electronic circuits, and finally goes into the details of programming robotic systems. The first half of the book is a cookbook of information, ideas, tips, and suggestions for the first-time roboticists and others. Much of the content will be of interest and practical use to students in Further and Higher Education who are working on a micro-controller based project (though not necessarily a robotic one). The second half of the book describes the designing, building and programming of five robots of varying degrees of complexity.

Robot Manipulator Control Theory and Practice second edition

Description :

         Many textbooks have been written on control engineering, describing new techniques for controlling systems, or new and better ways of mathematically formulating existing methods to solve the ever-increasing complex problems faced by practicing engineers. However, few of these books fully address the applications aspects of control engineering. It is the intention of this new series to redress this situation. This series presents books that draw on expertise from both the academic world and the applications domains, and will be useful not only as academically recommended course texts but also as handbooks for practitioners in many applications domains.
