  • El Astronauta Jeremy Hansen Presenta Sello Canadabrazo Para Celebrar Los Logros De Canadá En La Robótica, La Ciencia Y La Tecnología
    El astronauta Jeremy Hansen presenta sello Canadabrazo para celebrar los logros de Canadá en la robótica, la ciencia y la tecnología Aproximadamente a las 9 pm EST, el 13 de noviembre de 1981, el Canadabrazo se despliega desde la bahía de carga del transbordador Columbia por primera vez. Esta maravilla de la ingeniería canadiense pesaba menos de 480 kilogramos, y podría levantar más de 30.000 kilogramos - El peso aproximado de un autobús de la ciudad - usando menos energía que un hervidor eléctrico. “El brazo está fuera y funciona muy bien. Sus movimientos son mucho más flexibles que aparecieron durante las simulaciones de entrenamiento “, el astronauta Richard informó verdad para el Control de Misión. Una hora más tarde, como el traslado voló sobre los EE.UU., las primeras imágenes fueron transmitidas al suelo: un gigante brazo doblado en una forma de V invertida, situado por encima de la bahía de carga de la lanzadera, con el Canadá wordmark claramente visible en su lado. Una historia de innovación Canadiense para inspirar a las generaciones futuras Podría decirse logro más famoso robot de Canadá, la primera Canadabrazo fue construido en el año 1974 a través de una colaboración entre Spar, CAE, DSMA Atcon y el Consejo Nacional de Investigación (NRC). Los primeros pasos se produjo en 1969, cuando la NASA vio por primera vez un robot desarrollado por la empresa canadiense DSMA Atcon diseñado para cargar combustible en los reactores nucleares. Una propuesta de un brazo robótico para desplegar y recuperar el hardware de la bodega de carga del transbordador espacial fue redactado poco después.

  • The Future of Canada's Space Sector
    The Future of Canada’s Space Sector An Engine of Innovation For Over Fifty Years September 2016 “Space is at the cutting edge of innovation.” Hon. Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Launch of Canada’s fourth recruitment campaign for Canadian Astronauts Canadian Aviation Museum -- Ottawa -- June 17, 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Canada has a 50-year history as a spacefaring nation. That history is part of what defines Canada as a globally important, advanced economy. That 50-year investment has also left a legacy of infrastructure, institutions and industry that generates significant socio-economic benefits and directly supports or enables government priorities across several departments, including National Defence, Environment & Climate Change, Fisheries & Oceans, In- digenous & Northern Affairs, Natural Resources, Transport, Public Safety and Innovation, Science & Economic De- velopment. Canada’s space sector is also a modern ecosystem of innovation that involves and inspires Canadians in government, academic institutions and private sector companies. The sector supports world-leading Canadian science, generates technological innovation and exports on a daily basis, and has been justifiably identified as an example of the kind of “innovation ecosystem” which the Innovation Agenda seeks to build and expand. It is, however, a sector that faces both significant opportunities and major challenges. Internationally, the industry is in the throes of a generational transformation that is seeing the rise of new players and whole new business models. This provides a host of new opportunities. Unfortunately, domestically, the combined forces of reduced funding and lack of investment certainty are depriving the space innovation engine of the fuel that it needs to respond to this dynamic environment and live up to its full potential.

Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

  • Using Range Vision for Telerobotic Control in Hazardous Environments
    CA9900166 USING RANGE VISION FOR TELEROBOTIC CONTROL IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS M. G. LIPSETT*, M. GREENSPAN**, W.J. BALLANTYNE*** *AECL Chalk River Laboratories **National Research Council of Canada ***Spar Aerospace Ltd. ABSTRACT This paper describes how range vision augments a telerobotic system. The robot has a manipulator arm mounted onto a mobile platform. The robot is driven by a human operator under remote control to a worksite, and then the operator uses video cameras and laser range images to perform manipulation tasks. A graphical workstation displays a three-dimensional image of the workspace to the operator, and a CAD model of the manipulator moves in this "virtual environment" while the actual manipulator moves in the real workspace. This paper gives results of field trials of a remote excavation system, and describes a remote inspection system being developed for reactor maintenance. 1. INTRODUCTION Teleoperated manipulators are used for remote handling of hazardous materials and can also be used for remote inspections, decontamination, and site remediation. These operations require skilled operators who can visualize the remote work area and keep an awareness of the working situation. Existing mobile robot systems are joystick-driven with no automatic control; the only feedback to the operator is a video view. While reliable, such systems are slow and difficult to use, and there is little sensing capability [1]. Situational awareness can be aided by range imaging, which builds a three-dimensional view of the work space on a computer monitor. This view is called a virtual environment (VE). The intent of a VE to present a view of the scene that is realistic enough for the operator to drive the robot as well as if the operator were actually looking at the machine.

  • Unit 5 Space Exploration
    TOPIC 8 People in Space There are many reasons why all types of technology are developed. In Unit 5, you’ve seen that some technology is developed out of curiosity. Galileo built his telescope because he was curious about the stars and planets. You’ve also learned that some technologies are built to help countries fight an enemy in war. The German V-2 rocket is one example of this. You may have learned in social stud- ies class about the cold war between the United States and the for- mer Soviet Union. There was no fighting with guns or bombs. However, these countries deeply mistrusted each other and became very competitive. They tried to outdo and intimidate each other. This competition thrust these countries into a space race, which was a race to be the first to put satellites and humans into space. Figure 5.57 Space shuttle Atlantis Topic 8 looks at how the desire to go into space drove people to blasts off in 1997 on its way to dock produce technologies that could make space travel a reality. with the Soviet space station Mir. Breaking Free of Earth’s Gravity Although space is only a hundred or so kilometres “up there,” it takes a huge amount of energy to go up and stay up there. The problem is gravity. Imagine throwing a ball as high as you can. Now imagine how hard it would be to throw the ball twice as high or to throw a ball twice as heavy. Gravity always pulls the ball back to Earth.
