TRACKS TO DOWNLOAD: The Robots http://pitchfork.com/news/53127-watch-robyn-meets-the-robyn--made-by-swedish-tech-students/ R.U.R.: Rossums Universal Robots (1920) . 1927 the ("machine-human") robot (also called "Parody", "Futura", "Robotrix", or the "Maria impersonator"), the first depiction of a robot to appear on film, was played by German actress Brigitte Helm in Fritz Lang's film Metropolis.

Robot testing procedure where all components of the robot are operated continuously for an extended period of time. This is done to test movement, and movement programming of the robot at early stages to avoid malfunctions after deployment. Autonomy • Advanced Step in innovative Mobility • 3 Decades of Development (1986) • 2000 (Autonomous) Stabilization Technology • 130 cm / 50 kg • Hands 13 Degrees of freedom – can open bottles • In total 50+ degress of Freedom (can “dance”) • 52 Volt Battery (40 Minutes) Energy

The Real World Robot Types

• Stationary robots (including robotic arms with a global axis of movement) • Cartesian/Gantry robots • Cylindrical robots • Spherical robots • Wheeled robots • Legged robots • Swimming robots • Flying robots • Mobile spherical robots (robotic balls) • Swarm robots • Others Elements of a Robot

Sensors Effectors (Pneumatics, Hydraulics, Engines) Control Systems (the "brains") . Pre Programmed . Remote Control . Supervisory . Autonomous Vocabulary Downtime : A period of time in which a robot, or production line is shut down due to malfunction or failure. See Uptime.

Error: The difference between the actual response of a robot and a command issued.

Gravity Loading : The force exerted downward, due to the weight of the robot arm and/or the load at the end of the arm. The force creates an error with respect to position accuracy of the end- effector. A compensating force can be computed and applied bringing the arm back to the desired position.

Interpolation: The method by which endpoint paths are created. In general to specify a motion a few knot points are defined and then all the intermediate positions between them are calculated by mathematical interpolation. The interpolation algorithm used therefore has a dramatic effect of the quality of motion.

Off-Line Programming: A programming method where the task program is defined on devices or computers separate from the robot for later input of programming information to the robot. (ISO 8373)

On-Line Programming: A means of programming a robot while the http://www.motoman.com/support/lifecyclemgt.php robot is functioning. This becomes important in manufacturing and assembly line production due to keeping productivity high while the robot is being programmed for other tasks. AI Approaches:

• Cybernetics and brain simulation (Neurology + Information Theory,) • Symbolic (Cognitive, Logic Based, Symbolic Manipulation ) • Sub-symbolic (Perception, Learning Patterns) • Statistical (Sophisticated Mathematics)

Tools:

• Logic • Probabilistic methods • Classifiers and statistical learning methods • Neural networks • Control theory • Languages

Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co's first robot was Herbert Televox, built in 1927 by Roy Wensley at their East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania plant.

"TMap® Human Driven" Technovision Robotics Growth Testing Challenges Quality Robots: What’s the Context? After the Telelux, Westinghouse built several other robots—Katrina Van Televox, Rastus Robot & Willie Jr., Willie Vocalite, succeeded by the most successful Elektro the Moto-Man, built in 1937/38 at the Westinghouse's factory in Mansfield.
