	Exoskeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a multi-layered structure with four functional regions: epicuticle, procuticle, epidermis, and basement membrane.
		Note that while the arthropod exoskeleton is chitin-based, it is not composed entirely of chitin; in fact, the membranous portions of the exoskeleton and endoskeleton are closer to pure chitin than the hardened external sclerites.
		To overcome this, arthropods go through a process called ecdysis in which they shed their exoskeleton and replace it with a new, larger one.

	Robot - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The first known functioning robot was created in 1738 by Jacques de Vaucanson, who made an android that played the flute, as well as a mechanical duck that reportedly ate and defecated.
		Many consider the first robot in the modern sense to be a teleoperated boat, similar to a modern ROV, devised by Nikola Tesla and demonstrated at an 1898 exhibition in Madison Square Garden.
		Their robotics competition is a multinational competition that teams professionals and young people to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way.

	Robot
		The word robot was first used by Karel Capek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) (written in 1920; first performed 1921; performed in New York 1922; English edition published 1923).
		The laws or rules that could or must apply to robots or other "autonomous capital" in cooperation or competition with humans have spurred investigation of macro-economics of this competition, notably by Alessandro Acquisti building on much older work by John von Neumann.
		Recently, tremendous progress has been made in medical robotics, with two companies in particular, Computer Motion and Intuitive Surgical, receiving regulatory approval in North America, Europe and Asia for their robots to be used in minimal invasive surgical procedures.

		In practical usage, a "robot" is a mechanical device which performs automated tasks, either according to direct human supervision, a pre-defined program or, a set of general guidelines, using artificial intelligence artificial intelligence techniques.
		In his "I, Robot I, Robot" series, Isaac Asimov Isaac Asimov created the Three Laws of Robotics Three Laws of Robotics in a literary attempt to control the competition of robots with humans: # A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

	Robot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Alternate definition: Robot is the general term for a mechanical man or automaton, but has come to be applied to many machines which directly replace a human or animal.
		The word robot comes from the Czech word robota (compare with the Russian rabotatj for "to work") meaning "drudgery", "servitude", or "forced labor",especially the so-called "labor rent" that survived in the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1848.
		Robots are being used today to do the tasks that are either too dirty, dangerous, or dull for humans.

	Domestic Robots, Part II
		Electrolux, the world's largest household appliance manufacturer, unveiled its prototype of robot vacuum cleaner, beginning the journey to the home of the future and answering the prayers of people tired of boring household tasks (and what could be more boring than vacuuming the whole house over and over again?).
		This isn't what you would expect from an average robot: it is a smooth round disc with an in-built navigational radar that allows it to vacuum its way around any room without bumping into furniture or other obstacles.
		This is not the first "domestic" robot from Electrolux: they already developed a prototype solar powered robotic lawn mower which cuts the grass as long as there is daylight.

	Arthropod Definition / Arthropod Research
		Arthropods (Phylum Arthropoda) are the largest phylum of animals and include the insects Insects are invertebrate animals of the class Insecta, the largest and (on land) most widely distributed grouping within the Phylum Arthropoda.
		They are chiefly terrestrial arthropods, some 65,000 to 73,000 species including the spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, and mites.
		Arthropods are common throughout marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and even aerial environments, as well as including various symbiotic and parasitic forms.

	The New Atlantis - A Journal of Technology and Society
		Robots have been used in industry for decades—we are all familiar with the big robotic welding arms that build cars and other consumer goods.
		Most of the personal and private robots already on the market are “toy and entertainment robots,” like Sony’s robotic dog “AIBO.” AIBO comes in different shapes and colors, with memory, voice, and name recognition, and the ability to follow certain basic vocal commands.
		Engineers seem to have mastered the basics of robotic bipedal walking and other humanoid motions—for instance, there is a new Chinese robot capable of performing tai chi—but there are still other essential capabilities that need improvement before robots regularly enter the home, including better skills for interacting with their environment and their owners.

	A Highly Compliant Passive Antenna for Touch-Mediated Maneuvering of a Biologically Inspired Hexapedal Robot
		In this model, we assume that the distance y from the robot to the wall is related to the total curvature and hence resistance of the flex sensor according to
		The robot tended towards the wall but would respond much too quickly, moving too close to the wall, which in turn, drove it to move quickly away from the wall.
		T h e unknown resistance of the antenna sensor with respect to a nominal resistance set by balancing a half-bridge circuit of resistors and examining the output signal.

		The harlequin beetle Arocinus longimanus from tropical South America is a typical arthropod.
		It is a member of the Insecta class of arthropods, which has more species than all the other classes of arthropod put together.
		Member of the phylum Arthropoda; an invertebrate animal with jointed legs and a segmented body with a horny or chitinous casing (exoskeleton), which is shed periodically and replaced as the animal grows.

	Leg Types
		There are lots of different leg types among living things, but the most common models for robot designs have been the arthropod (i.e.: crabs, insects) type and the higher tetrapod type (mammals principally).
		The Arthropod type is probably the most commonly used leg design in walking robots (figure B).
		Assuming the pivot point is rigidly connected to the body, the side forces generated by the lateral displacement of the contact patch as the leg swings through its arc result in a loss of traction at the foot pad.

		Scientists would like their mechanical robots to be as nimble and well balanced as these arthropods.
		A robot with such precise balance would be useful for investigations in dangerous areas such as toxic waste sites, and for exploring difficult terrain such as craters on the moon and Mars.
		By studying the strain gauges of arthropods, scientists hope to be able to manufacture more effective strain gauges and more agile robots.

		The most interesting feature of the robot is a passive rubber spring joint connecting the legs to the body.
		Similar to the robot, the gripper is inspired by arthropod grippers (or claws), which show a resemblance to traditional industrial robot end effectors (see right).
		Tasks such as undersea and space exploration, hazardous waste handling, and robotic surgery, in which a human operator is controlling a remotely located robot in an unfamiliar environment could be revolutionized by a technology that helps to make up for the lack of knowledge of the surroundings.

		One of the most exciting, baffling challenges in robotics is navigation, which is important to mobile robots for obvious reasons.
		With robot navigation, a robot should be able to go from one point to another and have the ability to return to the original point.
		This requires keeping track of where the robot is in one form or another, so a simple bumper-car robot would not be considered a navigator.
