Robotics Current Events! by Jeff Dwaine https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/5vf46binpz6w Find an interesting article about Robots, it can be the use of robots in society, business or medicine or advances in robotic technology 1. Write a one paragraph summary of the article. 2. Post a picture related to the article 3. Write one or two sentences about why it was interesting to you! 4. Paste the link to source of the article, is this a credible source? 5. Comment on at least 2 other student current events. en-us 2016-09-08 03:03:31 UTC 2025-11-02 03:40:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Templeball.png Space Robots https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/5vf46binpz6w/wish/278586514 NASA is excepting robots from high school students. They will then select who has the coolest robots. Then they will help them get into collage.This is the future. https://frc-grants.arc.nasa.gov/rcs/directions.php

I like this image. It has arms.

At JSK Lab at the University of Tokyo, roboticists have developed a robot called DRAGON, which stands for "Dual-rotor embedded multilink Robot with the Ability of multi-deGree-of-freedom aerial transformatiON." It's a modular flying robot powered by ducted fans that can transform literally on the fly, from a square to a snake to anything in between, allowing it to stretch out to pass through small hole and the make whatever other share you want once it's on the other side.

Robots are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, and mass production of consumer and industrial goods. There are six main types of industrial robots: cartesian, SCARA, cylindrical, delta, polar and vertically articulated. However, there are several additional types of robot configurations. The benefits of robots has increased their flexibility with being capable of performing a variety of tasks and applications. They are more precise and consistent than human workers. Robots also allow for increased production and profit margin because they can complete tasks faster.  Robots designed for military applications, from transport to search & rescue and attack. Some such systems are currently in use, and many are under development.

They use a thin thermoplastic that hardens and is pliable. They are reinventing this old material that will bend and fold to any pressure. But then it will just spring back to its original shape. This creates new opportunities to create home decorations and other things, not just to help in robotics. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2018/08/28/robot-paper-claw-origami/#.W5FzOmhKjre I like this article because it shows that robotics can be created using cheaper materials that are pliable. Its so cool to see all the different things that you can do with technology.

Mounted to a uncrewed underwater vehicle and controlled remotely via joystick, it successfully captured squid and jellyfish unharmed, they reported.

Like that is freaking awesome if you ask me, just a 🤬 shame that mailmen will lose their job...oh sadface :(    https://www.livescience.com/58854-robotic-dog-makes-first-delivery.html -KADYN FIFIELD

Many cultures have inventors and engineers in their history that attempted to build robots resembling animals, humans, and machines.
