Robotic Technology

Taking a Look at the History of Robotic Technology

By Mike Selvon

Robotic technology can be found in clocks, remote control vehicles, automobile computers, Aibo, factory robotic arms, self-guided rovers, service bots like ASIMO, robotic toys like AIBO or Robo-Raptor and a CNC milling machine. To be considered a "robot," the specimen must be able to interact with its environment and physically do something. Most recently, robots are being used in surgery, disaster recovery and firefighting.
Historically, ancient people believed in the existence of a humanoid robot species. The Greek god Hephaestus was thought to have created mechanical servants to help him build temples. Furthermore, the Jewish people thought that clay golems could come to life and the Norse believed that clay giants could awaken. In 4th Century BC, Greek mathematicians Archytas of Tarentum proposed that he could create a steam-powered bird known as "The Pigeon." Additionally, Hero of Alexandria (10-70 AD) devised automated machinery powered by air pressure and steam.
In 1088, Su Song developed the first clock tower that was built using mechanical figurines and audible chimes. In 1206, the first humanoid robot was created by Al-Jazari, a Muslim inventor who wished to entertain royal guests with automated musicians who played on a boat in a lake. Al-Jazari was already well-known for constructing everything from kitchen appliances and other astounding robotic machines.
There are many different ways to think about robotic technology. For instance, do we want an artificial being to look like a human or an unmistakable nuts-and-bolts prototype? Should they go to work at the plant or in our own homes? Should they think for themselves or be simply capable of pre-programmed simplified tasks?
There are "soft robots," which have silicone bodies and flexible actuators that behave almost human-like. There are "swarm robots" that behave like bees or ants, cooperating together to find something, clean, explore space or spy. "Haptic interface robots" allow users to interact with virtual simulation environments. Engineers are always coming up with new designs and uses for automation robotics.
Robotic technology is continually progressing. Early prototypes used steam, water or air, while new robotic prototypes use actuators, electric DC motors and air muscles. To study robotics engineering, interested students can attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which is the only school that offers a Bachelor of Science in Robotics Engineering.
Other schools have graduate programs based on robotics automation, including Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, UPENN and UCLA. To increase early interest in this field, programs like FIRST Robotics were devised to encourage students as young as six to look to math, science and technology fields for hobbies.

5 Things Required For Long Lasting Cellular Battery

5 Things Required For Long Lasting Cellular Battery
Source: FIMELA.com - Mon, September 26, 2011

    

Currently Cellular phone is the one of the most crucial thing in our daily activities. Relationships with clients, relatives, and family can all be accomplished with this gadget. But, what if your mobile phone battery drop in the unwanted situation ? For that, before it happened, follow the following tips.

No signal? Restart your cell phone!

One of the factors that cause your battery quickly drains is a condition that your cellular phone does not get a signal. When there is no signal at all then your cellular phone will continue to seek the signal and thus be constantly working. If you have this condition, you should begin to restart the HP so that the signal can be caught easily.

Or if the signal does not go well when the unit was restarted many times you should turn off your mobile phone for a while. It is intended to provide time off to your cellular phone in order to work optimally when switch the power back on.

Turn off the vibration function.

To save battery consumption, turn off the vibration function. If not in a condition that requires you turn off the sound.. Cellular phone will shakes very quickly and exhaust your battery compared using phone ring tone only. Do you believe? Take a look and count by your self how long your battery can survive if you continue to use the vibration function.

Turn off Bluetooth connection

If you do not need, just turn off the bluetooth connection on your phone. Need a headset? We recommend using a headset with cable compared to a bluetooth with headset. In addition to the radiation is not good for health of your head, bluetooth is also very quick drain your battery. So, if you do not need-really need, turn off your mobile phone bluetooth connection.

Motion animation for the background? No way!

If you want to use background images, you should select the images with the JPEG format rather than an image or animation in GIF format (motion picture). Because the motion picture for  background means your phone to work twice as hard and definitely will drain faster the battery. Or if you can, use a single background color (black or other color) on the HP.

Charge the battery with an appropriate duration

Always happen that the battery leaked and caused the drop due charging duration is too long and not precise. When recharging the battery, you should make sure the phone was switched off .In Off condition makes battery absorbs more energy from the power source and recharging faster perfectly.If possible, charge the phone when the battery is already need to be recharged. Charge your mobile phone for about 2 hours (switched off condition) then your cellular phone is ready for reused.

Robotic World Explorer

Robotic World Explorer, which is claimed as the world's first house robot, unveiled its presence in Jakarta, Indonesia.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Robotic World Explorer, a house robot that is claimed to be the first in the world, inaugurated in Jakarta. Located on the 2nd floor of City Thamrin, Jakarta, home robot was opened by First Lady Ani Yudhoyono and inaugurated by the Research and Technology Suharna Surapranata on Saturday (12/11/2010) yesterday.
Suharna reveals, "I hope the opening of the house's first robot in the world can arouse curiosity and creativity among the young generation that could give birth to new innovations in the field of robotics."
"House of robotics could invite young people to think systemically," continued Suharna. Robotic Sciences invites young people to study various disciplines, such as mechanics, coordination, psychology, and communication.
The opening of robotic home is both a marker that Indonesia made substantial progress in the field of robotics. Robotic home area of ​​2580 square meters this house got a record Muri as the world's first robot.
Jully Tjindrawan, founder of the World Robotic Explorer, said, "So glad this could be the first in the world. Maybe Muri has been doing research for three months and then stated that this is the home of the world's first robot."
According Jully, home robot is not only serves as a vehicle for entertainment, but also can be used as a vehicle for education. Jully said, "The concept is to space as well as study tours, where visitors could come only once."
"At home this robot, a three-year-old visitor to adults can come and explore, see robots that are to begin to develop it. This is a good time to start building," said Jully.
The house which was established robotic divided into eight rooms. There is a creativity room where visitors can hone creativity, workshop room for training, the trial room to experiment, the robot shop for sale, a gallery to exhibit works, laboratory, movie room, and e-learning center.
The plan, home robots will be opened to the public after the date of December 20, 2010. The house robot will be opened in two sessions, first session starting at 08:30 to 13:00 and the second session starts at 13.00 until 17.00.
For the entry fee, visitors can pay Rp 150,000 per visit or become a member by paying annual Rp 5 million per year that could be repaid with payments through Bank Permata and the BCA.
Space robotic home could be said to accommodate 275 people. "We deliberately designed so that not too many people so that visitors could be more to explore inside, not too dense," says Jully.
Targeted, is capable of bringing robotics house 12,000 to 15,000 visitors per month. Finally, Jully hope, "Hopefully this can be a platform for the robotic community in Indonesia."

History of Printing (part 2)

Stencil

Main article: Stencil

Stencils may have been used to color cloth for a very long time; the technique probably reached its peak of sophistication in Katazome and other techniques used on silks for clothes during the Edo period in Japan. In Europe, from about 1450 they were very commonly used to colour old master prints printed in black and white, usually woodcuts. This was especially the case with playing-cards, which continued to be coloured by stencil long after most other subjects for prints were left in black and white. Stenciling back in the 27th century BC was different. They used color from plants and flowers such as indigo (which extracts blue). Stencils were used for mass publications, as the type didn't have to be hand-written.

[edit]Movable type

Main article: Movable type

Korean moveable metal typeset form, used to print 月印千江之曲 in 1447.

movable type printing technology around 1439^[8] and in just over a decade, the European age of printing began. However, the details show a more complex evolutionary process spread over multiple locations.^[9] Also, Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer experimented with Gutenberg in Mainz.

Compared to woodblock printing, movable type page-setting was quicker and more durable. The metal type pieces were more durable and the lettering was more uniform, leading to typography and fonts. The high quality and relatively low price of the Gutenberg Bible (1455) established the superiority of movable type, and printing presses rapidly spread across Europe, leading up to theRenaissance, and later all around the world. Today, practically all movable type printing ultimately derives from Gutenberg's movable type printing, which is often regarded as the most important invention of the second millennium.^[10]

Gutenberg is also credited with the introduction of an oil-based ink which was more durable than previously used water-based inks. Having worked as a professional goldsmith, Gutenberg made skillful use of the knowledge of metals he had learned as a craftsman. Gutenberg was also the first to make his type from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony, known as type metal, printer's lead, or printer's metal, which was critical for producing durable type that produced high-quality printed books, and proved to be more suitable for printing than the clay, wooden or bronze types used in East Asia. To create these lead types, Gutenberg used what some considered his most ingenious invention, a special matrix wherewith the moulding of new movable types with an unprecedented precision at short notice became feasible. Within a year of printing the Gutenberg Bible, Gutenberg also published the first coloured prints.

The invention of the printing press revolutionized communication and book production leading to the spread of knowledge. Rapidly, printing spread from Germany by emigrating German printers, but also by foreign apprentices returning home. A printing press was built in Venice in 1469, and by 1500 the city had 417 printers. In 1470 Johann Heynlin set up a printing press in Paris. In 1473 Kasper Straube published theAlmanach cracoviense ad annum 1474 in Kraków. Dirk Martens set up a printing press in Aalst (Flanders) in 1473. He printed a book about the two lovers of Enea Piccolomini who became pope Pius II.In 1476 a printing press was set up in England by William Caxton. BelarusianFrancysk Skaryna printed the first book in Slavic language on August 6, 1517. The Italian Juan Pablos set up an imported press in Mexico City in 1539. The first printing press in Southeast Asia was set up in the Philippines by the Spanish in 1593. The Rev. Jose Glover brought the first printing press to England's American colonies in 1638, but died on the voyage, so his widow, Elizabeth Harris Glover, established the printing house, which was run by Stephen Day and became The Cambridge Press.^[11]

The Gutenberg press was much more efficient than manual copying and still was largely unchanged in the eras of John Baskerville andGiambattista Bodoni, over 300 years later.^[12] By 1800, Lord Stanhope had constructed a press completely from cast iron, reducing the force required by 90% while doubling the size of the printed area.^[12] While Stanhope's "mechanical theory" had improved the efficiency of the press, it still was only capable of 250 sheets per hour.^[12] German printer Friedrich Koenig would be the first to design a non-manpowered machine—using steam.^[12] Having moved to London in 1804, Koenig soon met Thomas Bensley and secured financial support for his project in 1807.^[12] Patented in 1810, Koenig had designed a steam press "much like a hand press connected to a steam engine."^[12] The first production trial of this model occurred in April 1811.

Thermal printing	circa 1972

The history of printing started around 3000 BC with the duplication of images. The use of round "cylinder seals" for rolling an impress onto clay tablets goes back to early Mesopotamian civilization before 3000 BC, where they are the most common works of art to survive, and feature complex and beautiful images. In both China and Egypt, the use of small stamps for seals preceded the use of larger blocks. In Egypt, Europe and India, the printing of cloth certainly preceded the printing of paper or papyrus; this was probably also the case in China. The process is essentially the same - in Europe special presentation impressions of prints were often printed on silk until at least the seventeenth century.

Block printing

Main article: Woodblock printing

The ancient Greek amulet MS 5236 was created by block printing as early as the 6th century BC.

The ancient Greek gold amulet MS 5236 is a 6th century BC copper or bronze block print, containing an invocation of the god Phoebus Apollo. The applied printing technique has much in common with the later method of drypoint etching, but unlike drypoint MS 5236 is a colourless blind print. As such magical amulets are known to have been mass-produced at that time, its existence indicates that block printing was practised in ancient Greece at least to a degree.^[1][2]

Yuan Dynasty woodblock edition of aChinese play

Block printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia both as a method of printing on textiles and later, under the influence of Buddhism, on paper. As a method of printing on cloth, the earliest surviving examples from China date to about 220, and from Egypt to the 4th century.^[3] Ukiyo-e is the best known type of Japanese woodblock art print. Most European uses of the technique on paper are covered by the art term woodcut, except for the block-books produced mainly in the fifteenth century. (to be continued)
