Articulated Nimble Adaptable Trunk Articulated Nimble Adaptable Trunk Robotics Design Inc. is the leader in advanced technology costs. The ANAT robot pictured below has 8 articulations of modular robots. Our patented 1 robotic technology ANAT kinematically hyper-redundant. ANAT robot is the lightest allows the industry to be more competitive and effective for electric drive, zero backlash, articulated robot arm applications where flexibility and obstacle avoidance are available for a given reach and payload. For instance, critical. Our goal is to provide the user with maximum ANAT offer a 60-inch reach and 40 lb. continuous-duty flexibility in operation. This technology allows the robot to payload, and weigh only 100 lbs. Continuous-duty payload modify its shape according to the environment constraints, represents the maximum load that the system can handle satisfying the need of a wide range of applications for in any arm pose, indefinitely. ANAT satisfy the need of a fixed and mobile robots. The robot may have many arms; wide range of motion and dexterity through simplicity and each arm is formed by a series of identical modules, efficiency of design. all arms work in coordination. ANAT robots are currently in use After many years of R&D, Robotics Design is proud to by universities in coordination present the ANAT family. with Robotics Design. Our R&D department works hand in hand Robotics Design sets out to create a revolutionary robot. with universities to develop the But we did not start until we had confirmed for ourselves coming intelligent generation of that conventional robots suffer from complexity, singularity, ANAT.

The workshop concludes the Research Seminar Series, which has provided a platform for disseminating the latest research activities in related technologies through its weekly seminars. The EEE courses cover a broad range of technologies and this is reflected in the variety of topics presented during the workshop. In total, thirty-three papers have been selected for the proceedings, which have been divided into seven sections. The workshop aims to be as close to a ‘real’ event as possible. Hence, authors have responded to a Call for Papers with an abstract, prior to the submission of the final paper. This has been a novel experience for many, if not all of the contributors. Clearly, authors have taken up the challenge with enthusiasm, resulting in what promises to be an interesting and informative workshop.

  • July 2014 Supplement: Rescue Robotics
    CBRNE-Terrorism Newsletter July 2014 Supplement: Rescue Robotics 1 www.cbrne-terrorism-newsletter.com CBRNE-Terrorism Newsletter July 2014 Supplement: Rescue Robotics Rescue Robotics There is no doubt that Robotics will be our coworkers in the near (?) future. Especially in rescue operations and potential deadly environments. They can walk, crawl, climb, fly and dive already. They can operate into swarms, alone or indermendently and are not affected by fatigue, emotions or other disturbing factors like humans do. This special collection of articles will highlight some of the most recent advances on Rescue Robotics and their existing or future applications and possibilities. The Editor-in-Chief CBRNE-Terrorism Newsletter Robot Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot The word robot can refer to both physical robots and virtual software agents, but the latter are usually referred to as bots. There is no consensus on which machines qualify as robots but there is general agreement among experts, and the public, that robots tend to do some or all of the following: move around, operate a mechanical limb, sense and manipulate their environment, and exhibit intelligent behavior — especially behavior which mimics humans or other animals. In practical terms, "robot" usually refers to a machine which can be electronically programmed to carry out a variety of physical tasks or actions. 2 KITT (a fictitious robot) is mentally ASIMO is physically anthropomorphic anthropomorphic There is no one definition of robot that satisfies everyone and many people have their own. For example Joseph Engelberger, a pioneer in industrial robotics, once remarked: "I can't define a robot, but I know one when I see one.‖ The two ways that robots differ from actual beings are, simply stated, in the domain of cognition, and in the domain of biological form.
