POLICE ROBOT

• An experimental robot picks up a

simulated pipe bomb during a

demonstration for the media at

Sandia National Laboratories in

Albuquerque, N.M., Tuesday, July 3,

• New technology developed at Sandia

National Laboratories is making

bomb disposal easier and safer for

police bomb squads.

• Phil Bennett, project leader at

Sandia, says the arm joints of the

new robot are more coordinated than

the old-line robots.

ROBOT LAWN MOWER

• Scott Jantz, an engineering student at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla., watches a robot lawn mower Wednesday, Aug. 6, 1997, that cuts grass by itself while avoiding obstacles such as trees, toys and even children and pets.
• Dubbed the LawnNibbler, the mower was designed and built by Kevin Hakala for his engineering master's thesis.
• The battery-powered mower, developed at UF's Machine Intelligence Laboratory, uses buried radio wires, sonar and infrared emitters and detectors to find its way without human assistance.

Weber says MARV is a learning tool to begin to understand the problems of building inexpensive little robots for use in military applications.(AP Photo/Jake Schoellkopf) docsity.com

Robots in the Real World

• Welding
• Painting
• Assembly
• Laboratory
• Manufacturers By 1985, there were 180,000 robots on production lines in the world with the US, France and Japan accounting for 80% of them

A robot drills 550 holes in the

vertical tail fins of an F- 16

fighter in 3 hours in General

Dynamics. It used to take 24

worker hours to do the job

manually.
