  • ROBRA – the Snake Robot
    International Journal of Computer Science Trends and Technology (IJCST) – Volume 7 Issue 3, May - Jun 2019 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS ROBRA – The Snake Robot James M.V, Nandukrishna S, Noyal Jose, Ebin Biju Department of Computer Science and Engineering Toc H Institute of Science & Technology, Ernakulam Kerala – India ABSTRACT Robra - A snake-like robot which, provides the locomotion of a real snake. The shape and size of the robot depends on application. Robra can avoid obstacles by receiving signals from sensors and move with flexibility on terrain surfaces. Multiple joints increases its degree of freedom. It can quickly explore and navigate foreign environments and detect potential dangers for direct human involvement. Robra uses PIR() to detect presence of humans in an environment like civilians trapped in collapsed buildings during natural disasters. It can move through crevices and uneven surfaces. It detects obstacles by using Ultrasonic range movement sensors. This provides noncontact distance between the obstacles to detect and avoid collision with them. Electro chemical sensors are used for detection of poisonous gases. Robra has an onboard camera which records and send the video data in real time via WiFi. Robra has microphones for the survivors to communicate and inform their status incase of rescue aid. Thus Robra covers wide real time applications like surveillance, rescue aid etc. Keywords:- Robra, Snake, act have a wingspan almost 10 feet, giving it an ape-like I. INTRODUCTION appearance. In the past two decades it is estimated that disasters are Momaro - This robot has been specifically designed by the responsible for about 3 million deaths worldwide, 800million team NimbRo Rescue from the University of Bonn in people adversely affected.

It is an open source project, which, like most open source projects, is constantly in motion. It has been extremely successful for seven years now and is popular with millions of users worldwide. The word Joomla is a derivative of the word Joomla from the African language Swahili and means "all together". The project Joomla is the result of a heated discussion between the Mambo Foundation, which was founded in August 2005, and its then-development team. Joomla is a development of the successful system Mambo. Joomla is used all over the world for simple homepages and for complex corporate websites as well. It is easy to install, easy to manage and very reliable. The Joomla team has organized and reorganized itself throughout the last seven years to better meet the user demands. 2 2. Download and Install Joomla “Where and what to download?” “How to install?” In order to install Joomla! on your local computer, it is necessary to set up your "own internet", for which you'll need a browser, a web server, a PHP environment and as well a Joomla supported database system.

    Yewon Temitayo Gbetoyon WEB-BASE ORIENTATION TO LIVING AND STUDYING IN KOKKOLA, FINLAND. Bachelor's thesis CENTRIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Degree Programme in Information Technology December, 2012. Abstract CENTRIA UNIVERSITY Date Author OF APPLIED SCIENCES DECEMBER 2012 YEWON TEMITAYO GBETOYON Degree Programme Information Technology Name of thesis WEB-BASE ORIENTATION TO LIVING AND STUDYING IN KOKKOLA, FINLAND Instructor Pages GRZEGORY SZEWCYK [65] Supervisor ARTUR HLOBAZ The aim of this thesis was to create a website that gives general knowledge prospective foreign applicants (full time students and exchange students) applying to Centria University of Applied Sciences, Kokkola to study. The website entails up-to-date information in the area of description of the university, requirements for applying, entrance examination abroad, visa application requirements for non-EU Students. Joomla! 1.5 and XAMMP were the two software employed for designing the website. The rudiments and functionalities that came with Joomla and XAMMP made it possible to build a complete website. However, a number of challenges were encountered while creating a suitable template and employing the right modules for the intended purposes of the website. These problems were resolved with the help of the Joomla forum and supports that Joomla user can get from free from the Joomla website (www.forum .joomla.org). Moreso, for the creation of a full website, Joomla may be required as a good option for designing a website because every year the developers of Joomla add new features that make website designing more comprehensible. Therefore, for the purpose of this thesis, a website designed with Joomla that gives rise to the creation of many web pages and the results of the website is presented in the framework.
