Robots are electro-mechanical machines that were first created in 1738 in France. There are five general types of modern robots: mobile robots, industrial robots, service robots, modular robots, and collaborative robots. The use of robots in modern society is growing in areas like the military and industry, though there is concern robots may cause unemployment.
Robots are machines that can be programmed to perform various tasks. There are two main types: stationary robots fixed in one location like on an assembly line, and mobile robots that can move around like robotic forklifts. Robots generally have an arm, power supply, and controlling computer. The arm has movable joints called degrees of freedom. Mobile robots use wheels or tracks and guidance systems like magnets or light to navigate. Intelligent robots have powerful processors, memory, sensors and can learn from their experiences.
Quantifying QoS Requirements of Network Services: A Cheat-Proof FrameworkAcademia Sinica
油
Despite all the efforts devoted to improving the QoS of networked multimedia services, the baseline for such improvements has yet to be defined. In other words, although it is well recognized that better network conditions generally yield better service quality, the exact minimum level of network QoS required to ensure satisfactory user experience remains an open question.
In this paper, we propose a general, cheat-proof framework that enables researchers to systematically quantify the minimum QoS needs for real-time networked multimedia services. Our framework has two major features: 1) it measures the quality of a service that users find intolerable by intuitive responses and therefore reduces the burden on experiment participants; and 2) it is cheat-proof because it supports systematic verification of the participants' inputs. Via a pilot study involving 38 participants, we verify the efficacy of our framework by proving that even inexperienced participants can easily produce consistent judgments. In addition, by cross-application and cross-service comparative analysis, we demonstrate the usefulness of the derived QoS thresholds. Such knowledge will serve important reference in the evaluation of competitive applications, application recommendation, network planning, and resource arbitration.

Control N degrees of freedom with a unique actuator (1DOF) by introducing noise into the others DOF through mechanical coupling, reducing the noise intensity as it get close to the target in phase-space. It is easier to build directional sensors than directional actuators. Simulated robots produce graphic patterns.
The document discusses challenges in modeling human intelligence in robots. It notes that while robots in science fiction often resemble humans, true intelligence is difficult to define. Two key challenges are the indirect access problem, where we can only observe surface behaviors of intelligence, and the self-modeling problem, where humans lack a way to fully model their own cognitive abilities. The document also lists five behaviors often associated with intelligent behavior: logical reasoning, planning, learning, communication, and creativity. It provides examples of early conversational agents like ELIZA and modern ones like A.L.I.C.E. that have demonstrated basic communication skills but not general human-level intelligence.
This document summarizes different types of robots, including driving robots that use differential steering, omnidirectional robots that use Mecanum wheels, flying robots with sensors and structures, balancing robots that use inverted pendulums, and walking robots with 6 legs or that are bipedal.

The document explores how robotics can be used to explain concepts in various fields like control systems, software, sensors, motors, image processing, and artificial intelligence.

3) The robotics industry is still risky but growth will be led by startups, and marketing has been key to success stories like Roomba.
There are five types of joints that are commonly used in industrial robots. Two allow for linear motion: linear joints and orthogonal joints. The other three allow for rotary motion: rotational joints, twisting joints, and revolving joints. Each joint type provides a specific kind of relative motion between two robot links, such as rotational motion along a vertical axis or linear sliding movement between parallel links.
The document discusses the potential relationship between humans and robots, suggesting they could either live and prosper together or robots could realize they don't need humans. It also references several stories and authors about topics like personal robots, robots in the workplace, repairing cyborgs, and a robot housekeeper.

This document discusses different types of industrial robots classified by their arm configuration, power source, and path control. It describes Cartesian robots which move along three orthogonal axes and have a rectangular working envelope. Cylindrical robots use a vertical column that can rotate and slide up/down, giving them a cylindrical working volume. Both robot types have advantages like payload capacity and work area, as well as disadvantages like limited movement directions and lower accuracy for cylindrical robots. Common applications include pick and place, assembly, welding, and machine loading/unloading.

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that traces the path of light rays through pixels in an image to simulate effects like shadows, reflections, and refractions. It works by emitting rays for each pixel and finding intersections with surfaces to compute the color based on lighting information like ambient light, diffuse color, and specular highlights. While more realistic than rasterization, ray tracing is slower and less optimized for GPUs.
