This book speculates a means to bring scalable forms of creativity into the act of making. This is explored through the use of materials, generative algorithms, computer vision, machine learning, and robot systems as active agents in design conception and realisation. Autonomous manufacturing and cyber-physical systems are key enabling technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4) which are currently being incorporated into the building design and construction industries. These emerging IR4 technologies have the potential to effectively improve construction affordability and productivity, address current and future building demand, and reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. However, design approaches that make use of IR4 technologies are still relatively unexplored. While automation, such as mass production, promotes standardised design solutions, design thinking that embraces varying degrees of autonomy can lead to unique and considered approaches to design on an industrial scale.Behavioural Production: Semi-Autonomous Approaches to Architectural Design, Robotic Fabrication and Collective Robotic Construction explores design operating through the orchestration of spatiotemporal events. A multi-agent behaviour-based approach to computation is employed in architectural design and extended to individual and swarm-based robotic methods for additive manufacturing. Behavioural Production seeks to expand our capacity to engage with the world at large through varying degrees of autonomy. In an industrialised world where traditional craftsmanship has been marginalised and cannot scale to meet societal needs, this book speculates a means to bring scalable forms of creativity into the act of making. This is explored through the use of materials, generative algorithms, computer vision, machine learning, and robot systems as active agents in design conception and realisation. The book presents a collection of ideas, projects, and methods developed in the authors design practices and research labs in the fields of architecture and computer science. This body of work demonstrates that engaging with semi-autonomous processes does not diminish authorship, but rather expands it into new forms of design agency that seamlessly integrate with emerging manufacturing and construction technologies whilst authoring distinctive design character. <br><br> Autorid: Robert Stuart-Smith <br>

An introduction to how neuroethology can inform the development of robots controlled by synaptic networks instead of algorithms, from a pioneer in biorobotics.The trait most fundamental to the evolution of animals is the capability to adapt to novel circumstances in unpredictable environments. Recent advances in biomimetics have made it feasible to construct robots modeled on such unsupervised autonomous behavior, and animal models provide a library of existence proofs. Filling an important gap in the field, this introductory textbook illuminates how neurobiological principles can inform the development of robots that are controlled by synaptic networks, as opposed to algorithms. Joseph Ayers provides a comprehensive overview of the sensory and motor systems of a variety of model biological systems and shows how their behaviors may be implemented in artificial systems, such as biomimetic robots. Introduces the concept of biological intelligence as applied to robots, building a strategy for autonomy based on the neuroethology of simple animal modelsProvides a mechanistic physiological framework for the control of innate behaviorIllustrates how biomimetic vehicles can be operated in the field persistently and adaptivelyDeveloped by a pioneer in biorobotics with decades of teaching experienceProven in the classroom Suitable for professionals and researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students in cognitive science and computer science <br><br> Autorid: Joseph Ayers <br>
"A textbook on the Biomechanics of Movement that will be useful for courses and also inspiring for researchers in rehabilitation and the design of products as diverse as prosthetics and running shoes"-- An engaging introduction to human and animal movement seen through the lens of mechanics.How do Olympic sprinters run so fast? Why do astronauts adopt a bounding gait on the moon? How do running shoes improve performance while preventing injuries? This engaging and generously illustrated book answers these questions by examining human and animal movement through the lens of mechanics. The authors present simple conceptual models to study walking and running and apply mechanical principles to a range of interesting examples. They explore the biology of how movement is produced, examining the structure of a muscle down to its microscopic force-generating motors. Drawing on their deep expertise, the authors describe how to create simulations that provide insight into muscle coordination during walking and running, suggest treatments to improve function following injury, and help design devices that enhance human performance.Throughout, the book emphasizes established principles that provide a foundation for understanding movement. It also describes innovations in computer simulation, mobile motion monitoring, wearable robotics, and other technologies that build on these fundamentals. The book is suitable for use as a textbook by students and researchers studying human and animal movement. It is equally valuable for clinicians, roboticists, engineers, sports scientists, designers, computer scientists, and others who want to understand the biomechanics of movement. <br><br> Autorid: Thomas K.

RVC201 vacuum cleaner robot Vacuuming robots can be found more and more often in our homes and apartments. These inconspicuous-looking devices will perfectly help us with everyday cleaning and allow us to gain quite a lot of free time. Following the ever-increasing user requirements, Blaupunkt introduces a new model of the RVC201 vacuum cleaner robot, which is perfect for smooth wooden, laminated and ceramic floors, as well as carpets and short-pile rugs. The RVC201 model is equipped with 3 operating modes: random, spiral and along the walls, changing regularly from time to time, factory set. It also uses two side sweeping brushes and an efficient 10 W suction motor. Thanks to such solutions, we can be sure that the room will be well vacuumed. This is also facilitated by the compact size of the vacuum cleaner and its low profile, only 7.5 cm, which means that the robot will fit even under low beds or sofas. The vacuum cleaner can work continuously for about 55 minutes, after which the red LED on the switch button will indicate that the battery is discharged. It should then be connected to the ground for about 4-5 hours. The device will work until the battery is discharged or the user turns it off. The RVC201 vacuum cleaner robot saves a lot of time and is an irreplaceable help in everyday cleaning.

'Fast, funny and furious. These are definitely my favourite robots.' Eoin Colfer When toy robot, Boot, wakes up at a scrapyard, it has no idea how it got there and why it isn't with its owner, Beth. It only has two and a half glitchy memories, but it knows it was loved, which means something important to humans. Boot soon realises its emotions make it different to other robots, who just function and don't think. Boot is scared but tries to be brave, which is hard when its screen keeps showing a wobbly, worried face. Luckily Boot meets Noke and Red - other 'advanced' robots who have learned to survive in secret. With new friends by its side, Boot is determined to find Beth and the gang set off on a dangerous adventure. Everything Boot thought it knew about the world is changing, and things aren't as simple as it remembers . . .

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: 87.00, University of Nebraska at Omaha (Peter Kiewit Institute), course: Technical Writing, language: English, abstract: The subject of this report is an introduction to computer-assisted robotic surgery and telesurgery. The scope of this report includes information on the following major areas: the foundation of computer-assisted robotic surgery, the components of a computer-assisted robotic surgical system and the advantages and disadvantages of computer-assisted surgery and many more. The purpose of this report is to explore and describe the innovation of computer-assisted robotic surgery and telesurgery in medicine. The foundation of computer-assisted robotic surgery is derived from laparoscopic surgery, a technique that uses multiple tiny incisions in the place of one large incision. Components of a surgical system include the surgeon¿s console, the patient-side cart, and the image-processing and insufflations stack. The robot is operated by the surgeon¿s console which has hand and foot controls that are used to operate the patient-side cart. The patient-side cart contains four robotic arms, all of which can be used to operate a surgical instrument, hold a camera used to view the operative site, or hold a retractor. The image-processing and insufflations stack contains a camera control unit, an image-recording device, an insufflator used to blow air or gas into a body cavity, and a monitor used by operating assistants.
