    If Jack ever gets out of Room, he will be mentally ahead of his age because his mother has been with him this whole time to teach him, and he is above his current grade level in learning. However, Jack will be socially and physically behind his own age. Jack has only communicated with his mother his whole life and has not developed social skills. Also, Jack will be physically behind due to the lack of nutrition and from being trapped in an 11X11 room. I think with time Jack will develop social skills and mentally be the same as his own age, but I think he will always be behind physically.…

    Robots being able to know what they should do and how it should be done is closer to coming true than someone might think. C. Gillis believes that one day robots will be able to complete and do jobs that were never thought that they could do. Some robotic engineers have started to learn about how they are able to have robots start to do more things than they ever thought they could do. For example the author Charlie Gillis mentions Roomba a vacuum that will clean your house while you are not there. Though it will only be able to vacuum the floor it will be on it is smart to be able to know where it has been and where it should go.…

    Some of the reasoning given by the board why Napoli was the right choice was, he developed the business plan which was approved by the board in addition he also had contacts with market experts and local consultants however most importantly the Board had trust in him. Napoli’s India plan was simple, he wanted to sell 50 elevators in first year and break even after four years and generate double digit margins, to achieve this plan he wanted to focus on low rise segment as primary target and may pick up midrise segment as and when opportunity arises. Low rise market was 35 % of elevator market and midrise was 14 %. He wanted to achieve this by selling only core standardized product (S001) with no possibility of customization for low rise and S300P for midrise segment. On the cost side, he wanted to keep cost down by outsourcing all manufacturing and logistics activities to local suppliers. Eight months into the operations he was facing major challenges as he had not sold even a single elevator and he was also facing challenges on cost escalations. Let’s examine each challenge and give recommendation for improving them;…

    According to Sciencedaily.com, University of Twente (UT) researcher Frank van der Velde is getting one step closer to converting this science fiction into a reality, “a robot that feels, sees and, in particular, thinks and learns like us.” He’s creating robots, known as iCubs, that are almost fully capable of all human functions, just like the robots seen in The Terminator and other such movies that see, think and feel just like humans. It was only a couple of years ago that creating a robot that operated only through instructions was considered a milestone, and now the standard has been raised to robots that act every bit human as a regular human does. As evidenced by Velde’s work, technology is advancing at a rapid rate, where humanoid robots are no longer some fantasy or a science-fiction enthusiast’s inventions, but are an imminent aspect of society in the foreseeable…

    I was a small fry, pushed and shoved around trying to figure out my way around this new large building. Despite being so lost, I found myself in a large auditorium one day, filled with other underclassmen who were just as passionate about technology as I was. I found solace in the robotics club where I met people who were much more educated about computers and technology than I was. How the robots were assembled combining individual parts, movements that were created with a peculiar language and program I couldn’t comprehend- it all fascinated me. My curiosity, which initially birthed my passion for technology, strongly urged me to join this club. I submitted to that urge and as a result, I learned the mechanics behind building a robot and tested the waters of…

    The India elevator market evolved from the economic liberalization in the early 1990s which had increased the demand for elevators in India. According figure.1, we can see that roughly 50% of demand was for low-tech manual elevators while low, mid, and high rise segments accounted for another half market demand with 35%, 50%, and 14% respectively. Fagan et al. (2006) had also pointed out that “the middle segment of low- and…
