    http://www.chabotspace.org/vsc/exhibits/ws/robotics/
    
    Extractions: This is not so easy to answer! Webster’s Dictionary says: A machine that looks like a human being and has the capacity to perform human tasks. By this definition, are you a robot? You can see why it’s hard to define a robot. Some other attempts: A bunch of motors controlled by a programmable computer. (Karl Brown) An intelligent connection of perception to action. (from the book “Mobile Robots” by Jones, Seiger and Flynn) This last definition points to three basic things that all robots must have: sensors to detect something about "the world," processors to handle the information from the sensors and decide what to do, and actuators to act upon "the world." Note how "the world" fits at both ends of this cycle. Sensors that Sense We also have other senses like balance, position, direction, and “well being.” These help us know our own internal condition and place in the world. A robot may need senses like these to manage its operation. Walking robots need a sense of balance or they’d fall right over! Processors that Process

42. What Is Robotics?
    The word robot was coined by the Czech playwright Karel Capek (pronounced chop ek ) from the Czech word for forced labor or serf.  
    http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/robotpg/robofaq/1.html
    
    Extractions: Back to Table of Contents In this section we define the words 'robot' and 'robotics' and look a little at the history of robots. [1.1] What is the definition of a 'robot'? [1.2] Where did the word robot come from? [1.3] When did robots, as we know them today, come into existence? "A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks" Robot Institute of America, 1979 Obviously, this was a committee-written definition. It's rather dry and uninspiring. Better ones for 'robotics' might include: Webster says: An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human. The word 'robot' was coined by the Czech playwright Karel Capek (pronounced "chop'ek") from the Czech word for forced labor or serf. Capek was reportedly several times a candidate for the Nobel prize for his works and very influential and prolific as a writer and playwright. Mercifully, he died before the Gestapo got to him for his anti-Nazi sympathies in 1938. The use of the word Robot was introduced into his play R.U.R.

    Extractions: EPSON Robotics is the leading manufacturer of precision based industrial robots (over 17,000 sold), PC based controls, machine vision systems and other Factory Automation products. Our mission at Epson Robotics is to make industrial robots and factory automation products that are powerful, flexible and easy to use. Industrial robots from EPSON Robotics offer unparalleled benefits. Our industrial robots and factory automation equipment set the standard in the industry by offering improved productivity, reduced cost and a better manufacturing quality. EPSON Robotics specializes in both Cartesian robots and SCARA robots Cartesian robots, due to the linear nature of their movements, are naturally more precise than rotary motion style robots (SCARA robots) . However, typical Cartesian robots have the trade-off of a lower speed for this greater repeatability. Additionally, in the past, Cartesian robots have tended to be bulky units which require larger workcells that consume more factory floor space. Not any more! Epson Robotics XM3000 Series is EPSON's third generation of Cartesian robots derived from EPSON's keen commitment to listing to customer needs and feedback. EPSON Robotics XM3064 has a 600 x 400 mm XY work envelope while the XM3106 has a 1000mm x 600mm envelope. Both Cartesian robot units come standard with the same style 150mm Z axis and +/- 360 degree tool rotation axis as the E-Series SCARA robots. And, as with the E-Series SCARA Robots, an optional 300mm Z-Axis is also available. EPSON Robotics XM3000 is also available in a variety of other sizes and configurations such as 2 and 3 axis models.

    Extractions: Search WWW Search seattlerobotics.org Standard Technologies of the Seattle Robotics Society Kevin Ross President, Seattle Robotics Society Last Updated This guide is ultimately intended to help you build a simple robot. I hope to do so by introducing some of the technology that the Seattle Robotics Society has developed and/or adopted over the past couple of years. The pre-existing designs shown here are easily incorporated to robots of almost any size or complexity. The target reader is someone with at least a small amount of experience and/or extreme interest in building a small project. There will be some hardware to build, some software to write, and some electronics to assemble. This project is completely within the grasp of most people who can dedicate their attention to building a project from start to finish. Along the way, I hope you learn a few things. The current state of robotics can be summed up in one word: Infancy. While a whole lot of progress has been made in the past 25 years, you would be quite surprised at how elementary the technology really is. For the most part, this is actually good news for you since the step from having no robotics to state of the art is really quite short. The bad news, of course, is that leaves a lot of design and building work to be done. Several members of the Seattle Robotics Society have been striving to provide standard robotic technologies as a starting point for hobby robotics. This document will describe these basic technologies, and hopefully provide you with inspiration and a list of resources from which you can start building your own robot.

    Extractions: Neural Prosthetics and Brain-Machine Interfaces. A neural prosthesis as a ``direct brain interface'' that enables a human, via the use of surgically implanted electrode arrays and associated computer decoding algorithms, to control external electromechanical devices by pure thought alone. In this manner, some useful functions that have been lost through disease or accident can be partially restored. Patients who might benefit from such a prosthesis would include those with spinal cord sections or lesions, peripheral nerve disease, stroke to motor cortex, and ALS. Our lab collaborates with the laboratories of Prof. Richard Andersen and Prof. Y.C. Tai to develop neural prostheses and brain-machine interfaces. Our group focuses on these main issues:

    Extractions: Hanson Robotics was founded in late 2003 in order to pursue the commercialization of socialized robotic characters and their constituent technologies. Hanson Roboticsis the brainchild and home base for Dr. David Hanson and his team of visionaries. Dr. Hanson is responsible for core innovations derived from years of research on building robots and their accompanying materials, such as Frubber™, the robots' internal mechanics (including servo-motors and battery-powering capability), and the software that gives them their capability to interact with humans (AI itself, or the "brain" and "vocabulary" of each robot). Academic and public recognition in the press Hanson's work has been recognized by national and international resources, such as: WIRED magazine, who featured his work in July of 2004 and June of 2005, labeling his work "genius" and awarding his Albert-Hubo robot with a cover in January 2006; in fact, the Albert-Hubo was ranked as the 17th greatest robot in history, using HRI's Einstein portrait atop the KAIST walking Hubo robot.
