	Robot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robot has come to refer to mechanical humans, while android is used for organic artificial humns and cyborg or bionic man for a human form that is a mixture of organic and mechanical parts.
		The study of the robot’s motion is mostly driven by inverse kinematics, because usually the target is known and what is needed is to calculate the angles of the joints that permit the robot to achieve the target.
		Besides that, and this is actually a major concern nowadays, robots’ power/density ratio is not satisfactory: the actuators of the robots should be stronger, compared to the weight and height of their structure.

	Autonomous Robot Soccer Teams
		Robot soccer teams compete in matches called RoboCup, which set itself a challenge of creating a robot team that could beat a human soccer team in the World Cup in 2050.
		Robots have no clue where they are unless algorithms have been written to help them filter the world and try to predict where they are going.
		Each robot can compute the value of each role for all of the robots as a function of their distance to the ball and their positions on the field.

		Robotics is a valuable educational tool that introduces students to a variety of different engineering disciplines such as electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering.
		There are inflexible robots used in industry to paint cars or assemble toys, which are for specific applications, and autonomous robots, ones that react to the environment on their own without any outside influence.
		The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the presence of objects in the path of the robot.

	Autonomous Visual Control of a Mobile Robot
		An autonomous mobile robot with a vision based target acquisition system must be able to find and maintain fixation on a moving target while the system itself is in motion.
		Reorientation of the robot to trail an acquired target is accomplished by basing commands to the robot drive motors on the camera pan angle, requiring the robot to drive in the direction of the gaze.
		Obstacle avoidance is achieved by decreasing thrust on the side of the robot opposite to the peripheral motion away from the center of the visual field.

	The Journey Robot - David P. Anderson
		The robot's operating system and control and navigation software were developed and written by the author based on algorithms originally developed for the SR04 and the nBot robots.
		The robot is seeking to a point 200 feet away through the woods, and then back to the starting place, which it repeats 4 times for a total exceeding 1600 feet, about 1/3 mile.
		In each, the robot is set to seek through the woods to a point 500 feet away and return to the starting point, which is marked with a straw hat.

	ROBOT WARS AUTONOMOUS CLASS RULES AND GUIDELINES
		Autonomous robots are defined for the purposes here as robots with internal guidance and control.
		Although it is not against the rules to destroy the beacon on your opponent's robot, it is to one's advantage to not destroy the beacon (but of course the other robot) because when that beacon goes out you wont be able to use it to find them.
		Four holes in the plate at the bottom of the beacons are used for attaching the beacons to the competing robots.

	lf297, Hardware: Building an autonomous light finder robot
		This was a very interesting aspect of this robot, however it was very slow, needed a lot of current and required a lot of special parts and skills to build it.
		To build the robot mount the motors under a small wooden board (12cm x 9cm) and position them almost in the middle such that most of the load will be on the two axis.
		The polarity of the motors is chosen such that the robot would move forward (in the direction of the arrow) if +3V would be connected to the "+"-pin and GND to the "-"-pin.

		Above is a picture of the hood of the robot.
		Utilizing a scissor lift mechanism and a robotic gripper, the robot is able to pick up objects, place then into its holding container, raise them far above the height of the collapsed robot, and then eject the contents into another container or box.

	Robot Room - Autonomous Sumo Robot Rules
		By placing the second robot out of the direct line of sight, at sideswiping angle, or closer/further to the first robot, it may be possible for the second robot to gain a quick victory.
		ROBOT ALTERATIONS: Batteries and parts can be swapped during the contest, so long as a reasonably identifiable core robot remains consistent throughout and the mass does not exceed the mass recorded at the initial weigh in.
		Robots that aren't ready (fail to start or fall from their starting positions) are given a warning.

	Autonomous Vehicles
		Robotic aircraft will be required to fly three kilometers (1.8 miles) to an urban setting, find a building, then enter it via a window or a hole in the roof to find a target inside.
		The experimental robot, called Hyperion, is a prototype of what could lead to a class of mechanical explorers that would operate almost continually for months, or even years, on the Moon or distant planets.
		A robotic helicopter so endowed would be smart enough to spot a suitable place to land and then do so without any remotely controlled help; a terrestrial robot designed to travel on its own could change its shape from tanklike to snakelike when it needed to be narrow enough to enter a cave.

	The Hawaiian Autonomous Undersea Robot
		With its computers, its sensors, and a 5-foot, 150-pound autonomous manipulator, or robotic arm, it will be able to move towards a specific target, such as a wrecked pipe laying on the ocean floor -- and maybe fix it.
		Right now, this robot has an autonomy of about eight hours, but this range should soon be extended when the researchers move from batteries to fuel cells to power the undersea vehicle.
		Future versions of this autonomous undersea robots should be able to work continuously for several days when batteries are replaced by fuel cells.

	ROBOT WARS 1997 AUTONOMOUS CLASS CHAMPION
		At Robot Wars '97 in San Francisco Bob Gross (new E-mail address) unleashed a three foot tall fully autonomous robot warrior named "Thumper". Robot Wars may never be the same again. This page is for all those robot builders and would be builders who want to know just how Bob did it.
		I suspect that if your here looking at this page you already know about Thumper. If you don't then you might want to check out the article about Robot Wars '97 at robotmag.com. Its a pretty good write-up and the author has some good tips on building a robot (RC or autonomous) for Robot Wars.
		Thumper's "feet" are two 8" diameter wheels driven by two 12 volt DC motors. Each motor is controlled by a relay that is in turn controlled by the Counterfeit Stamp in the head.
