What is FIRST? For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology is a program whose main goal is to inspire and teach young people in the fields of science and technology. The program does this by pairing high school students and professional mentors to solve intense engineering problems in a competitive way. Each January a new game is announced and a universal kit of parts is given to each team. The teams then have six weeks to build a robot to play the game. They then go to regional

English IV 29 November 2011 The Physical Effects of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery on Patients A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. Despite the development of non-surgical techniques‚ it is the most common method for treating symptomatic gallstones. There are other indications for the procedure‚ including carcinoma. Each year‚ more than 500‚000 Americans have gallbladder surgery. Most of the options of surgery include a standard procedure‚ called laparoscopic

Robots make human lives easier‚ like what could happen in a science fiction movie. Just following three simple steps on the instruction manual could change lives dramatically. For example‚ humans are gradually moving towards social isolation‚ lack of responsibility‚ and loneliness. Robotic machines have many negative outcomes. Therefore‚ they should not

Cody Brouillard English 1060 1/23/12 Robotics in the Dairy Industry Robotic milk machines are a new product in dairy farming today. Robotic milk machines are a good example of new and efficient technology in the dairy industry. Farmers around the world are debating whether or not to install this expensive new technology. It is a state of the art machine that can handle a herd of 50-60 cows (depending on the amount of production per cow). The robot is a complicated machine‚ but it has simple concepts

questions of ethics arise. Robotics has slowly evolved into the battlefield with machines like drones and UAVs leading the way. While intimidating‚ the inclusion of robots in warfare seems to be a natural evolution. With human oversight‚ advancements in robotics serve to bring a new dimension of defense. In We Should Not Ban ‘Killer Robots‚’ and Here’s Why by Evan Ackerman and “War Machines: Recruiting Robots for Combat” by John Markoff‚ the authors discuss the evolution of robotics in warfare.

And as people go into space‚ machines will go along. Of all the machines we have used and imagined‚ none have captured our interest and feelings so strongly as the class of machines called robots. The International Space Station’s new Canadarm2 robotic arm grasps a Spacelab pallet while Canadian mission specialist Chris A. Hadfield helps maneuver it into loading position while on a space walk. But what exactly is meant by the term "robot"? Moreover‚ how is it decided that it is better to use
