Should we replace our textbooks with laptop computers? The initial reaction to this question by many people is‚ “What a ridiculous question!” However‚ there are many key issues to consider‚ like cost‚ ease of use (is the computer screen too hard on our eyes for extensive reading?)‚ maintenance and repair (if students carry them from class to class‚ will they break?)‚ but most importantly‚ student learning (what is the best way to help students learn?). In order to come to a conclusion on the

A robot can be defined as a programable‚ self controlled device consisting of electronic‚ electrical‚ or mechanical units. The notion of robots or robot-like automates can be traced back to medieval times. Although people of that era didn’t have a term to describe what we would eventually call a robot‚ they were nevertheless imagining mechanisms that could perform human like tasks. As early as 270 BC an ancient engineer named Ctesibus made organs and water clocks with moveable figures. In medieval

Robots are increasingly becoming a part of our daily life. Whether it is within our phones with Siri‚ in our cars with GPS navigation and voice command‚ or in our homes with home automation systems‚ we are all using some form of artificial intelligence. Today we see iPads replacing waiters in restaurants to take orders‚ robots in factories assembling cars‚ and even robots filling our Amazon orders in warehouses. Although some believe that humans are impossible to replace‚ the change is slowly

“A man can be destroyed but not defeated” In the Old man and the sea‚ Santiago says‚ “A man can be destroyed but not defeated. (Page 93)” The true statement can be referred to throughout the novel. Santiago is in the end physically destroyed‚ but mentally he is not defeated. Santiago’s courage and pride pushes him forward throughout the novel‚ even when it looks like hope is lost‚ but is never defeated. Destruction means to completely ruin or spoil. Santiago experienced this destruction. It started

function selects out one of the argument. Specially P1(x‚y)=x and P2(x‚y)=y The composition operation There are two operations that make new functions from old: composition and primitive recursion Composition replaces the arguments of a function by another. For example‚ one can define a function f by F(x‚y)=g(h1(x‚y)‚ h2(x‚y)) Where one supplies the functions g1‚ g2 and h. Primitive recursion A typical use of primitive recursion has the following form Where one supplies the function

competition‚ so in order for robotics in healthcare to succeed it must make sense financially. Robot-assisted surgery is sometimes considered to be the most expensive form of surgery due to the cost of the robotic system‚ but that is not true when the indirect costs of robot-assisted surgery are also considered. Landeen et al. studied the cost effectiveness of the four methods of hysterectomy‚ and they concluded robot-assisted hysterectomy was the least expensive approach when the cost of the robotic system

Wireless Controller Robotic Arm using Arduino Uno Abstract—This paper presents an innovative wireless robot arm gripper that replicates human arm motion. The development of this robot is based on the Arduino Uno that will interface with the wireless PS2 controller to the robotic part that replicated by the servo motors. The servo will moves the robotic arm‚ base and the gripper through 180° from the default position which is 90°. The S06NF STD servo motor has been placed at the arm part. It
