As there are some expensive and bulky robotic manipulators with multi-functionalities are available in the market but not affordable for many people, a low-cost robotic manipulator, Dobot Magician, available in the market is used in this research to add more features in it. The forward kinematics and inverse kinematics are analyzed in this research besides studying about PID and computed torque control approaches. In this research, alphabets and numbers are coded using an object-oriented programming language (C#) to make the learning of alphabet, numbers, words, and sentence writing more fun to the children.

  • Designing Robots with Movement in Mind
    ! ! ! ! ! Designing Robots with Movement in Mind ! ! Guy Hoffman Media Innovation Lab, IDC Herzliya and Wendy Ju Center for Design Research, Stanford University ! This paper makes the case for designing interactive robots with their expressive movement in mind. As people are highly sensitive to physical movement and spatiotemporal affordances, well-designed robot motion can communicate, engage, and offer dynamic possibilities beyond the machines’ surface appearance or pragmatic motion paths. We present techniques for movement centric design, including character animation sketches, video prototyping, interactive movement explorations, Wizard of Oz studies, and skeletal prototypes. To illustrate our design approach, we discuss four case studies: a social head for a robotic musician, a robotic speaker dock listening companion, a desktop telepresence robot, and a service robot performing assistive and communicative tasks. We then relate our approach to the design of non-anthropomorphic robots and robotic objects, a design strategy that could facilitate the feasibility of real- world human-robot interaction. Keywords: human-robot interaction, design, non-humanoid, non-anthropomorphic, gestures, movement, case studies, expressive movement ! 1. Introduction As robots enter applications where they operate around, before, and with humans, it is important for robot designers to consider the way the robot’s physical actions are interpreted by people around them. In the past, robots’ actions were mainly observed by trained operators. However, if we are to deploy robots in more lay contexts—in homes and offices, in schools, on streets, or on stages—the quality of these robots’ motion is crucial. It is therefore time to consider more seriously the expressive power of a robot’s movement, beyond the crude, choppy, and awkward mannerisms they are famous for.

  • Teenage-Angst Revisited
    # 2000/14 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2000/14/teenage-angst-revisited Ein Selbstversuch mit Violent Femmes Teenage-Angst revisited Nur ein paar Alben trennen die Leiden der Jugend von der Altersdepression. Ein Selbstversuch mit Violent Femmes. Eigentlich wusste man es ja schon immer: Es gibt nichts Ekligeres als fettbäuchige Glatzenträger, die selig grinsend und Wunderkerzen schwingend bei einer Golden-Oldie- Summernight zu den Hits ihrer Jugend in die Plastikbecher tränen. Und doch kann es passieren: Man besucht nach fast zwei Dekaden noch einmal ein Konzert einstiger Jugendheroen. Stadionrock im Selbstversuch? Naja, ganz so schlimm ist es zum Glück bei den Violent Femmes nie geworden, obwohl sie 1994 in Woodstock schon vor 300 000 Zuschauern auftraten. Aber mit einem typischen Hallenkonzert, einem mit lausiger Akustik und lauwarmem scheißteurem Bier in Plastikbechern musste man mindestens rechnen. Immerhin ist es eine anerkannte Tatsache, dass, nach fast einem halben Jahrhundert Rock'n'Roll-Geschäft, Alter und Rockmusik einander nicht mehr ausschließen, sondern im Gegenteil zusammengehören wie die Rolling Stones und der VW Golf. Was britische Musikzeitungen bei anstehenden Tourneen schon zu solch adäquaten Überschriften wie »Get Your Wheel-Chairs Out« animierte. Das rollingstoneske Stadionrock-Trauma hatte ich zum Glück schon in frühester Jugend, und es wirkte so nachhaltig, dass ich bisher nie mehr in Versuchung geriet, so etwas noch einmal auszuprobieren. Stattdessen wandte ich mich Bands zu, die von den Massen geschmäht wurden. Diesen Vorgaben folgend, war ich 1984 im Ratinger Hof dabei, als die Violent Femmes ihre erste Europa-Tour absolvierten. Nach der Veröffentlichung ihres Debüt-Albums, »Violent Femmes,« das 1983 als Meisterwerk gefeiert wurde, galt die Band ein Jahr lang als das hippe »andere« Ding.
